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.

Here is the circuit that produces five tones. This is a simple toy piano circuit with 555 timer. We can also use this circuit as a Machine gun. Main heart of this circuit is 555 timer IC. The 555 ...

It’s back! The 555 timer contest wants to see you do something cool with the 555 timer chip. At stake is the adulation of electronics geeks everywhere. Three top winners will be awarded a $150 ...

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 ...

Circuits employing the popular 555 timer circuits are often reliable under many conditions. When you use them in electrically noisy environments, however, the timer can produce a false trigger, no ...

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 ...

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 ...
