In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of blinking lights, on its output we get a digital signal that we can use to turn on and off an external light like an led or relay for bigger loads.

We often marvel at the many things a 555 can do. But [Zafer Yildiz] shows us that it can even take the place of a PCB. You’ll see what we mean in the video below. The timer relay circuit is built ...

The 555 timer IC, introduced in the early 1970s, remains one of the most iconic and widely used analog chips in electronics. Let's explore its enduring appeal through a few simple, fully tested 555 ...

First introduced in the early 1970s, the 555 timer integrated circuit is arguably one of the most popular ICs ever made. Rediscover the iconic 555, how it works and its many uses with the new Book of ...

The automatic street-cum-porch light integrates the functionalities of street and porch lights into a single unit, optimising space and reducing clutter. By using LEDs, it offers energy savings and ...

This article is part of the 2022 April 1st series in the Humor topic within our Series Library. The ubiquitous 1971 digital miracle—the 555 Timer—is important, replete with 25 transistors, 15 ...

What is the point of reviewing a cheap timer module, especially if it is based on the ubiquitous 555 timer chip? Recently I got an ‘updated’ version of the common 555 timer relay module. This time it ...

The 555 Timers Madness Competition has been launched by element14, an Avnet community, in honor of the release of the first 555 timer IC (555 oscillator). Members of the element14 Community can ...

Motion sensor circuits are there on the Internet for quite a while now. These circuits are mainly used to drive AC load (like lights, fans) in home automation or IoT projects. It is also very common ...
