Cool 555 vid and looks like a good sponsorship, that's a nice product line.

@TRONMAGNUM2099 Год назад

Excellent circuit. I really enjoyed when you would go over basic circuits on the breadboard. Really helped me becoming a better service tech.

@HelmutFischer-thehefi Год назад

Cool! (Maybe you should mention for beginners that you use a bench power supply that avoids ground loops)

@Jimwill01 Год назад

Lock picking Lawyer! (another one of my favorites!)

@RandomTorok Год назад

Love your channel. I'm wondering what you use to create PCB patterns?

@jayrolopez8277 Год назад

Would one be able to control a servo using a 555 timer?

@adamv242 Год назад

12:09 LPL reference.. I had just watched his latest before you. Subscribed to both.

@SteveH-TN Год назад

Thanks for sharing this video and information. I have subscribed to your channel, appreciate your support in helping review my electronics skills and knowledge.

@LanceMcGrew Год назад

KIPRIM DS1202 is currently unavailable at Amazon. Is there another recommendation and suitable for beginner?

@tarantula_live Год назад

The CD4047 can make 50% duty cycle square waves automatically with one cap and one resistor. f=1/(4.4*RC)

@peatmoss4415 Год назад

Hi, informative video! I have a suggestion for a circuit if you don't mind. I tried to build a "555" on a breadboard using an LM393, 74HC74 and 74HC04 with a PNP and NPN transister, it didn't exactly work. I read the data sheets and only some of it soaked in. Maybe I was mixing logic with the wrong idea. I added an LDR in a couple of places to induce a change in the process but all I did was make a fancy "street light". I used the criss cross astable circuit for the clock pulse.There was no reason to make this, just was experimenting....

@paulperano9236 Год назад

hehehe you need a big old radio tuning cap. Get a dual gang 365pf and you make one up to 730pf.

@waynegram8907 Год назад

PAUL, how do you fix that ringing or overshoot? Can you make a video lesson about "strapping resistors" and "internodal resistors" when are they used and why are they called strapping resistors and internodal resistors mostly used in power supplies for the filter caps. Guitar amplifiers have a standby switch because of the filter caps need time to charge because this isn't called Time constant because there is no R, so what is it called when a filter cap is charging? its not called time constant or charge time

@wernervandenbosch1609 Год назад

How would you eliminate the voltage spike at the rising edge of the square wave ? Thanks 😊

@vorlonempire6954 Год назад

Put a cap across pins 1 and 8. I usually use 2.2uF.

@MCDbits Год назад

I used a 555, varying timing between about 15hz and 0.75hz using a potentiometer. It triggered a transistor, after passing through a diode to keep single polarity, to allow a boosted (via a further transistor adding power) guitar signal to come through in pulses... Even with capacitors stacked on the power rails I got a significant click marking the cycle... Any ideas for cures? (basically want to chop up guitar signal to amp).

@MCDbits Год назад

@@DeeegerD I might get same effect when I blow my hearing playing too loud, just have to wait for my future hearing aid battery to run out.

@GeorgeC1andonly Год назад

add a capacitor in line from 555 output to transistor to smooth the out the spikes would be my guess

@MCDbits Год назад

@@GeorgeC1andonlyalready got a 10nF mylar capacitor in between 555 output and transistor, haven't tried larger or polarised capacitor yet.

@tonywalton1464 Год назад

Are you a victim of the notorious 555 "shoot through"? There's a point where both the 555’s output transistors are "on", effectively putting a short across Vcc and ground, generating transients. It's more of a problem with a bipolar 555; try a CMOS 555 instead.

@davidh1187 Год назад

How about trimming a crystal oscillator?

@skyking6989 Год назад

How would you clean up all that ringing?

@eliasgeorge8534 Год назад

Impedance matching at about 33 Ohms

@ralphj4012 Год назад

There are multiple factors which can cause ringing. Breadboards / Veroboard are notorious for anything running at relatively high frequencies (each connector row is effectively a capacitor), switching power supplies and long power cables, power supply decoupling (there didn't seem to be any), scope probe compensation (adjustment) or ground connection and external noise from other supplies, lighting etc. Have to eliminate one by one.

@skyking6989 Год назад

Thanks everyone. I now feel enlightened

I am a proponent of trial by fire.

@warrenking1815 Год назад

Ah the ubiquitous 555, the most used ic since the 50s.

@1pcfred Год назад

The 555 timer was introduced in 1972.

@warrenking1815 Год назад

Yep, but the 555 is still the most used.

@1pcfred Год назад

@@warrenking1815 the 555 was the most produced IC at one time. I'm not sure if it still is, or not, today.

@adailyllama4786 Год назад

According Wiley Brand, publisher (~2016) the 555 timer is one of, if not the most manufactured IC today. Across various manufacturers and regions close to a billion are made and sold each year.

@1pcfred Год назад

@@adailyllama4786 I am surprised the 555 is still so popular considering how cheap microcontrollers have gotten. I know using a micro where a 555 could work is overkill but I also know that many are apt to do that sort of thing today too.
