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.

Your first order is free! In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of blinking lights, on its output we get a ...

A running joke we see in the comments by Hackaday readers whenever a project includes an Arduino or Raspberry Pi that seems like overkill is to proclaim that “I could have done it with a 555 timer!” ...

Any robot that moves needs actuators—motors that move parts of the robot around. While robot actuators have been around since the dawn of machines, they have some issues. For one, it is very difficult ...

The circuit reflects the electrical connection of various components in electronic products and equipment, so as to help people become familiar with the circuit structure and working principle of ...

While the “should have used a 555” meme is strong around these parts, we absolutely agree with [Kelvin Brammer]’s decision to make this 555-shaped plug-in replacement for the 555 timer chip using ...

“We need a circuit that generates a UV LED light pulse for a couple of seconds over about a 30-second period,” said the manufacturer of a portable aftermarket product with a florescence element. The ...

Signetics released the venerable NE555 timer in 1971. It has been used in thousands of designs and has been the subject of at least that many articles (see “The 555: Best IC Ever Or Obsolete ...
