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.

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 ...

Use a 555 timer for power-on-reset that you find out does not really work because the 555 is, at its heart, a digital chip, and then the entire design cannot be shipped and all the bosses hate you.

The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most widely used ICs due to its reliability and flexibility.

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...

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 $15… ...

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.

There are also a few parts which are cosmetic only. But it’s cute, it’s a 555 timer circuit, and it’s shaped like a robot. That all makes it a win. We do wonder how it can be taken further.
