Interesting. I just finished designing a "555" using a dual op-amp and a CD4001 for the flip-flop. That will be in an upcoming video. I went over to the site you linked for this, but they have nothing available (none of their products). Do you mind sharing how much the kit cost?
@@SimpleElectronics OMG! That's insane! Why the customs? Electronic kits/components are usually duty free from all over the world! They must have used the wrong HS tariff code.
It was cleared by UPS - which means I paid 25$ of agent fees - but I run into this problem a lot. It's duty free to get chinese manufactured goods from China, but once they are shipped from the US, then I pay customs fees, almost invariably. I ask small sellers to ship USPS to avoid paying the agent fees from the carriers
@@SimpleElectronics Yeah, me too on the couriers vs. USPS. I've become pretty militant about it and will no longer buy things if they do no use USPS or ship enough to offer a low flat rate (like Dig-Key or Mouser).
Nostalgia here man. I used 555s a lot back in the mid-to-late 1970s when I was just learning this stuff...
I want both that and the 741 kit. The instructions that come with the kits are awesome just by themselves.
The cool part about this and their 741 op am in education is that you can probe various points in the circuit on a scope.
Love the wide-spaced legs on the TO-92s. It makes the build so much easier and double so if you're making your own boards.

It was 40$ for the 555, 35$ for the SMT 555, 67$ for shipping (all of this USD$) and 80$ cad of customs fees....it was insanely expensive

Hey I love your how to use a multimeter video. Have you considered one on an introduction to oscilloscopes?
Cool.
I want one!
Aw heck, looks like they’re not available right now. I don’t even have an interest or skill in electronics and I wanted one!
Does this circuit correspond exactly to the real 555?
F
