This is a simple LED Cube circuit designed using 555 timer. It can be very useful for home decoration purpose and home lighting systems. Many LED Cube circuits are available in the markets which are ...

You can use a microcontroller to build a clock. After all, a clock is just something that counts the passage of time. The only problem is that microcontrollers can’t track time very accurately. They ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

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!” ...

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.

This 555 timer based circuit is a kind of voltmeter, also an analog to digital converter, that converts the analog input voltage to digital output pulses. The output pulse width is proportional to the ...

From the 555 timer to the LM317 regulator, many old-time components still can be had from suppliers to help engineers, hobbyists, or even college students complete their projects. Looking through the ...

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960. He ...
