I love these " these classic circuits you should know" tutorials. They are not only clearly presented but also easy to follow and cheap to make. Thank you and stay well.
Thanks, this was a good one. I'm a long time watcher of your videos. Mostly quiet, but I have to shout out the issues with the cheaper bread boards. I've had a lot of trouble with the connectors staying connected on these cheaper boards. I bought several brands and all seem to end up with the same problem, until I started using the BusBoard brand. My issues and insanity levels have all been reduced. They may more expensive, but you make up the difference in time and frustrations. Merry Christmas and keep them coming!!
This is my favourite oscillator, but I prefer the quad Schmitt nAND. This is because the extra input provides a control for the oscillator. The extra gates in the package provides the option for an oscillator modulator, or an input from a sensor to control the oscillator, making it ideal for alarms that bleep or whine. The square wave output can be filtered to change the sound it makes or the voltage on the capacitor can be buffered to give a nice sawtooth waveform. These are great circuits for those learning electronics, as it is easy to add a few components to make the make lots of useful devices. I once used one of these as the basis of a pulse position modulated IR microphone transmitter.
I liked the video, as far as it went. Personally, I'd like to have seen you show the voltage at the RC junction and explaining how it actually works, but maybe I like to be in the weeds more! :-)
This is a great video! I'd love to see you build an oscillator for audio for example a simple tone generator or for use as a control voltage on the stepped tone generator you made. I like the way you explani things.
An astable multivibrator probably a dozen components. This circuit or a 555, 3 components. An attiny45, one component. Ordered in increasing complexity. There are two ironies. All of these solutions cost about the same to make, and the microcontroller uses this circuit for its clock!
PAUL, A Schmitt triggers doesn't use a window comparator for the pocket Hysteresis, the hysteresis has a lower threshold point and a upper threshold point but why does a schmitt trigger use or have hysteresis providing two different voltage points?
I have one topic which might be interesting for future videos. ACST6 or ACST6108 triac driven by microcontroller. According to datasheet it doesn't requires additional components like optocouplers and MCU should be connected directly to mains with Vss pin. Till today not sure if setup which I assume is correct. Thank you. :)

Yes - quick, short, and to the point. Thank you.
I could use a relaxation oscillator implanted in my head.
Thanks Paul, cool circuit. ☮️

Thanks Paul, for the great explanation. 👍
Excellent video Paul. One of my favorite IC's. 73
Very cool, love these classic circuits.

thank you paul ;)
I just got my SolderStick pack... Love it.....
oh thanks I was needing this one , I seen some people building some super cool tesla coils with this oscilator
You could use this to trigger a shift register IC or control many of these (oscillators at dif frequencies).
Great explanation. Could you do more on power rail splitters to power opamps?
This is a great video! I'd love to see you build an oscillator for audio for example a simple tone generator or for use as a control voltage on the stepped tone generator you made. I like the way you explani things.
Forgot to Thumbs up. 👍
Came back just to do so.
Great video Fun Fun.
Awesome video. Great way to start learning how to probe using my cheap oscilloscope. Any recommendations ?
Very stable and very good for lower frequency. Really like the " classic circuits series. Could you do one on hedrodydning as in radio .
Just switched my major to Electrical Engineering I'm so excited

Hey Paul, could this circuit be used in conjunction with an LM386 to make a tremolo effect box?

This could be used as 6 independent timers. And it seems quite robust as well. Less components, less things to go wrong.
Use a varacter and have a variable oscillator?😁
Thought it would be another 555 video 😂
It's not a relaxation oscillator, it's a seizure inducing oscillator. I had to stop watching after 10 seconds. Sorry.
