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 ...

This stunning piece of art is [Emily Velasco’s] take on the Atari Punk Console. It’s a freeform circuit that synthesizes sound using 555 timers. The circuit has been around for a long time, but her ...

Chris Gammell from the blog The amp hour and Analog Life is running a 555 timer IC design contest. EDN’s Mike Demler wrote it up on his blog yesterday. So Mike or Chris asked me to do a mention on ...

As 555 timer is robust, stable and most commonly used IC in the area of electronics and also use in many electronic circuits. This post gives an idea about 555 Timer IC pin diagram and its description ...

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 ...

The 555 timer IC has been reinvented—again. Signetics introduced the enormously popular chip back in 1971, and it quickly became a big hit. Myriad application circuits have used it throughout the ...

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960. He ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the ...

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows the ...

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 ...
