Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC. In the process of making this circuit, we'll make a pcb design for it. This ...

You can use a microcontroller to build a clock. After all, a clock is just something that counts the passage of time. The only problem is that microcontrollers can’t track time very accurately. They ...

This is the LED 'J' Sequencer, a project I built for my uncle's birthday! It features 20 LEDs arranged to form the letter 'J', which light up in sequence. The "brains" are a trusty 555 timer and two ...

This article is part of the 2022 April 1st series in the Humor topic within our Series Library. The ubiquitous 1971 digital miracle—the 555 Timer—is important, replete with 25 transistors, 15 ...

Abstract: The 555 timer IC is a well-known integrated circuit having been widely used as a pulse generator. We propose a circuit containing a single 555 IC, an LED, an inductor, two capacitors, and ...

Hamster wheels, or running wheels are exercise devices used primarily by hamsters and other rodents, but also by other animals when given the opportunity. Hamster ...

That’s stupid! Why use a bunch of parts when you can use an Arduino? However, we rarely see those two comments on the same post. Until now. [ZHut] managed to bring these two worlds together by ...

Used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications, the 555 was designed in 1971 by Hans Camenzind. A favorite for many engineers, the 555 is still in widespread use due to its ...

The venerable 555-type timer makes an effective driver for power MOSFETs, but you have to understand the drive situation when selecting the correct variation of the basic timer. This idea shows how ...
