LM555

The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200 mA or drive TTL circuits.

Motorized Slide Potentiometer Driver

“This motorized slide potentiometer is used in lighting and Audio/Video equipment or other similar application. It is a simple solution to control a motorized slide potentiometer using two tactile switches or a microcontroller interface. The project includes bidirectional motor …

The World’s Least Powerful Computer? 1-bit Cpu With The Mc14500b Industrial Control Unit

“I came across this weird chip a few months ago. Designed by Motorola in the 70s, its purpose is to replace the “ladder logic” relays in industrial process control so all it needs to do is make simple decisions based …

Dub Siren Synth - 555 Project V2

“My first dub siren build was a little over complicated. Although it worked well, you needed 3 x 9V batteries to power it which was overkill and I had to build the main circuit on a prototype board. The first …

DIY Electronic Horn for a Bicycle or Car

“The LM555 generates an electronic horn signal which is amplified by an LM386. The tone and gain of the horn can be easily varied. The horn can be used in a car, scooter, cycle, and motorbike.”

Simple Digital Voltmeter Circuit With PCB Using ICL7107

“In this project we have a tendency to design a circuit to build an electronic voltmeter while not making use of any microcontroller. Here we have a tendency to employing a very moderate IC for voltage activity particularly ICL7107/CS7107 …
