Used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications ... and appreciation for one of the most successful circuits in electronics history. In this design, a classic 555 timer IC ...

By focusing on the simplest 555 circuits, [Diode] can show just what each pin on the chip does, using an outsized schematic that reflects exactly what’s going on with the breadboarded circuit.

[fahadshihab], a young tinkerer, shared his circuit design for a simple remote control using 555 ... circuits in order to synchronize them. It would be easy enough to interface this with an ...
