Have you tried your hand at circuit sculpture yet ... they are using 1206 components and an SOIC-packaged 555 timer here. On the other hand, they start by smartly laying everything out on double ...

This remote controlled switch circuit can control AC loads such as lights, fans etc through the remote handset of TV. It uses the 555 timer in the bistable mode. In the bistable mode output IC555 ...

The 555 adjustable timer circuit starts timing when switched on. The green LED lights to show that timing is in progress. When the time period is over the green LED turns OFF, the red LED turns ON and ...

Take this Christmas tree for example, which uses a 555 timer and a CB4017 decade counter in order to drive some blinking LEDs. The ICs are through-hole, making the circuit fairly accessible to new ...

Such was the case for one student, who had the canny idea to make a card that demonstrates his printed circuit board know-how. He used a 555 timer that ... sets off the mini light show.

The ubiquitous 1971 digital miracle—the 555 Timer—is important ... but it should be tolerable. 4. Running a small duty cycle, for just a little bit of evil. The circuit cranked up to full ...

They have the design tool running online now ... A kit that uses discrete transistors to make a 555 timer can help you learn many different circuit principles. (Courtesy of Evil Mad Scientist ...
