Finally got my 555 timer circuit blinking cleanly. 1000µF cap + 10nF on pin 5 did the trick. Slow, satisfying LED flashes from pure hardware. 3.3V

🛠️ My first (messy!) attempt at diagramming the full display driver for my project.
✔ 4 bi-color LEDs (red/green)
✔ Individual on/off control
✔ Selectable flashing or steady
✔ 555 timer + CMOS logic + PNPs

Me: Why the hell is this opamp drawing half an amp when I turn it on?

Also me, later: Oh. Because it's a 555 timer...

The 555 timer chip itself holds enduring appeal. Its reliability, cost-effectiveness, and versatility made it a fundamental component for electronics education and countless DIY projects. It's a true workhorse in the electronics world. #555Timer 5/6

Button switches the 4 bi-color LEDs between red and green. A toggle switch enables or disables the 555 blink signal. Next is to wire the 555 to blink the 4 LEDs. It’s looking good so far. 🥳

Today is the 55th birthday of the 555 (triple 5) timer chip! You may not know anything about it, but it has been an incredible chip that has been used in *countless* devices and still shows up in some products today. IYKYK

A Simple DC-DC Boost Converter using 555 Timer IC
In this project we build a simple boost converter circuit using a 555 timer IC. Boost converter is a non-isolated type of switch mode power supply that is used to step-up the voltage.

Next up: trying to use my NOR-built AND gate to control the 555. Idea is, if I pull the signal high, the LEDs blink. If it’s low, they stay on. Hoping this lets me switch between flashing and steady with one input.

Finished my most complex breadboard project yet! a logic-driven LED panel with switches to toggle each LED on/off, a button to switch red/green, and a master flash control tied to a 555. All working solid or blinking on demand!

This took a lot of work. Very happy

Been working on this in my free time for something like 6 weeks now. When I started I only knew “transistors are sorta like switches”

Next step: diagram everything cleanly and plan out the soldered PCB!

Had a few goofs, but the 555 timer is now cleanly toggling between LEDs without heating up! Turns out I had my NPN transistor backwards at first.

Pro tip: the arrow should point to ground!
