    HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
    One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
    It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

    "Anyway, like I was sayin', 555 is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There's uh, kabobs-stable, creole-stable, gumbo-stable. Pan fried-stable, deep fried-stable, stir-fried-stable. There's pineapple shrimp-stable, lemon shrimp-stable, coconut shrimp-stable, pepper shrimp-stable, soup-stable, stew-stable, salad-stable, and potatoes-stable, burger-stable, sandwich. That- that's about it."

    Great video Paul. I really like the idea showing all three of the major configurations at once. It is one of the ways I have been practicing my circuit analysis. I’m actually working on a 555 based stepper motor controller right now. I know i could do it more easily with an Arduino but overcoming the challenges are a big part of the fun.

    • @learnelectronics

      Another very useful chip is the Darlington array ULN2003 which can be used for motor control but I'm actually using 2 of them as an interface for my Raspberry Pi so that I can connect my GPIO pins directly to the interface without having to worry about any series resistors or blowing up my GPIO ports or worse and be able to switch up to about 50 volt with a 3.3 volt GPIO signal...
      I'm using the interface to control 4 channels of 12 volt RGB LED strips with only 3 GPIO pins in use, normally you need 3 GPIO pins for 1 RGB LED strip, another great thing using the ULN2003 IC is that because it can only sink current the signal is inverted so when the signal is high the output will go low or sink the current to ground and with those 12 volt LED strips that's exactly what needs to be done and you can do the same thing if you want to control a brushless dc motor with a PWM signal coming from a microcontroller such as the Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
      I hope this is helpful information regarding your project.

      @@learnelectronics I started out doing a few minor electrical repairs in my home after I retired.
      That peaked my current about electricity in general and electronics.
      So I got an Arduino kit. I messed with it a little, it was fun, but I wasn't learning how the individual components worked.
      So now I've been making breadboard circuits to attempt to learn more about electrical components. I've been having so much fun and it's been fascinating, I may or may not go back to messing with the Arduino, I'm pretty sure I will at some point but learning about individual components and how they work together is satisfying in itself. Previously my only exposure to this kind of thing was when I took physics in college which believe it or not made learning this more confusing in some ways.
      So I'm enjoying this channel a lot, I wish there was a little more discussion on component substitution, my little kit doesn't have everything, but I've ordered a larger capacitor and resistor selection so that should help.

    I had to buy a bunch of the 555 chips because I can't find any of these chips on any modern hardware that I take apart for recycling, so Banggood it is...
    And I have been playing around with these chips, made all the circuits that you showed in this video, played with different capacitors, resistors etc. to see what happens.
    Now that I know more about it I have to say it is indeed a very interesting and versatile chip, I think it's rather cool.
    I made one more circuit using two 555 timer chips to make a police light, first it flashes the red LED's a couple times and then it flashes the blue LED's, back and forth but what's so special is that it doesn't flash each side one time but more like 3 to 5 times before going to the other chip to flash the other side 3 to 5 times... It works and looks really cool but I have no clue how it works, if it just did one flash each side it would make sense but how does it flash multiple times on each side is a mystery to me, maybe you can explain the phenomenon in a video?

They still work fine, although with reduced amperage. When they say min. 4 or 5 volts minimum, depending on where you read it, doesn't jive with my experiments and projects.

    Great as usual! Greetings from Leeds, Yorkshire, UK!
    I have a question: I am designing my own capacitor discharge ignition system for a classic 1970 Honda. I think the 555 in monostable can give me a 3ms pulse output when the breaker points open (with a few simple mods). BUT the trigger voltage will last longer than 3ms (its like holding down the trigger button on your board). So can I get that short pulse no matter how long the trigger signal is applied? Then reset after the trigger signal is removed. My intention is to use mosfet to fire off a charged capacitor (200-300v from cheap chinese ebay booster circuit) across the ignition coil primary every time the breaker points open (for 3ms) then after that the capacitor is charged again as mosfet goes open circuit. Another mosfet will briefly cut the hv supply as the capacitor shorts across the (0.4 ohm) coil primary to avoid damaging the booster circuit.
    Many thanks. John

    I hear all the time that the 555 timer ic is very common and can be found everywhere, however after salvaging and recycling electrical components for several years now I never found the chip being used in any of the devices that I've had in my hands.
    I don't know what to think about it but I am a bit disappointed because of it and I do find it a bit strange, right?
    I've salvaged lots of power supplies mainly for computers and servers but also tv power boards for modern flat tv's but what I love to get my hands on is old crt tv's since those contain the bulky through hole components which are easily salvaged and are great for diy projects or usage on the breadboard and not to forget that it holds a beefy high voltage transistor, the flyback transformer plus all the nice enameled copper wire from the yoke and the demagnetisation coil that can be reused for making Tesla Coils or making your own AC flyback from it...
    That's what I did with it mostly and of course I learned a lot in the process of making my own flyback transformers, Tesla Coils and the driver circuits.
    The latest Royer Oscillator I've made I used the high voltage BJTs from 2 old crt tv's and the flyback transformer and the output is pretty impressive, it does behave very different compared to the ZVS driver although it's almost the exact same circuit the BJT based Royer Oscillator produces a lot more ion wind and starts to react with the electrodes further apart.
    The ZVS driver is of course much more efficient and my latest ZVS driver has an output of about 150 kilovolt when I connect it to my biggest flyback transformer which is absolutely crazy and very dangerous because of the high voltage and high amperage, I always tell my friends to get away from it and keep enough distance when I'm playing with it and to NEVER EVER touch anything when it's live or shortly after until everything is discharged.
    I still want to build a 555 timer based driver for my flybacks and Tesla Coils but I know that the inevitable will happen which is blowing up the chip, at least a couple of them I don't want to buy a bunch of the 555 timer chips, I rather pull them off some old pcb... Sadly I never find such a chip on the boards that people have donated to me.
    So can you tell me what pcb to look out for where I can find those 555 timer chips on, because I never found one before

    Hi Paul, I know almost nothing about electronic, yet somehow found your demo fascinating.
    I don't meant to impose, but was wondering if you could set me in right direction. Your wisdom in this is much appreciated. I refrain from reinventing the wheel. I need the most elegant way of doing this.
    I wish to come up with a timer circuit which interacts with a thermostat, one main heating element, one keep warm element and a buzzer when cooking is done.
    I have been reading on Arduino approach to this, but today I thought perhaps 555 can be used to achieve the same end in much smaller size.
    Here is the requirement:
    1- Timer must cover 60 min. time,
    2- A Dial is used to set the time (this will produce rice with bottom crust at desired crispiness),
    3- A Display shows what Dial is set at, and the remaining timer when count down takes place.
    4- When a button is pushed and pot-thermostat is closed (cold pot), the main 700W-Element is turned ON and cooking starts.
    5- When pot-thermostat opens (water boiling point), 700W-Element is turned OFF and Timer STARTS/CONTINUES counting down.
    6- When pot cools down enough to cause pot-thermostat to close again, 700W-Element is turned ON again and Timer PAUSES the count down.
    7- This thermostat Close/Open, Element ON/OFF, and Timer Count Down/Pause/Continue repeats until Timer zeros. At this time
    a- 700W-Element --> OFF
    b- a 25W-Element --> ON (keep-warm)
    c- a Buzzer goes off
    Can this be done utilizing good old 555 and basic components, without the need for a micro-controller? Do you approve if this? If so, any idea what the circus looks like? As general / detailed explanation as you wish.

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the point of 'bi-stable' mode. Surely you could turn an LED on and off with a switch, a resistor and an LED. No 555 required and only one switch.

    What is supposed to happen in astable mode when you don't connect pin 4? My 555s seems to run fine with pin 4 unconnected. Will it just make it unstable over time?

    • @learnelectronics
      @learnelectronics  5 лет назад +1

      Well its put that pin into an unknown state. Most of the time nothing bad will happen. But there is the possibility that it could go low and reset the chip. It won't damage anything if that's what your asking.

    • @TheResidentSkeptic

      Just trying to understand how it works by messing with it. Electronics are usually pretty precise things, so it feels a bit odd that pin 4 only sort-of needs to be high.

    • @learnelectronics

      That's because its active low. If it were active high and you didn't hold it low, the chip would reset whenever there was something it could capacitavly couple to...like your body

      555 Timer Data Sheet

  • @richardkieran6873
    @richardkieran6873 5 лет назад

    I have a 555 question. I am trying to build a monostable circuit to replace the electronic shutter board in a camera. I have a working circuit with one hitch. When I press the momentary contact switch, the LED representing the shutter on the camera lights, times out, and goes off. Good so far. If I hold the switch down for a second, I still get my 2 second timing. BUT, if I hold the switch down longer than 2 seconds, the light stays on until I release the switch. OK for 2 seconds, I can be fast enough on the trigger to beat that. But it's not good for 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000 second. This behavior seems wrong to me. Is it normal? If so, it seriously limits the usefulness of this device. My circuit follows the monostable diagram in section 4.1 of the data sheet, with the Reset tied high and a 1k resistor between pin 2 (trigger) and Vcc. The switch grounds the Trigger pin when pressed. Am I doing something wrong? If this is normal behavior for this circuit, is there something I can add or change to get what I need? Thanks. AND thanks for the videos. They're great.

      @richardkieran6873 5 лет назад

      Found the answer! It's called edge triggering. A capacitor (0.01uf or 0.1uf) is used to connect trigger (pin 2) to the grounding switch, instead of a wire. A 10k resistor is connected to the trigger pin side of the capacitor to hold it high. The trigger sees only changes in voltage (AC). DC such as that from holding the switch down is blocked by the capacitor. It appears that without this modification, the behavior I originally described is normal. Might make a good video. Anyone trying to time a short interval with a manual switch is gonna need it.

      Yes. Use the astable mode, replace the resistor that is connected to the capacitor with 2 branches in parallel:
      Branch 1: a resistor R1 and a diode;
      Branch 2: another resistor R2 and a diode in the reverse polarity.
      Choise R1 and R2 to match the desired on/off time.

    Hello, I am looking to design a circuit that is battery driven to turn on a door courtesy light on my experimental airplane. My plane has gull wing doors that open over the wing. I would like to have the courtesty light turn on when the door is open and off when it closes. I want it to be self contained because it is really hard to run wires from the door to the fuselage and keep them watertight. I was thinking of using a tilt switch to signal when the door is almost all the way open, wait 2-3 seconds and then turn on. Why the wait: I do not want turbulence while flying to activate the light. I also want the light to turn off after 2-5 minutes.
    Again, the desire is to have this completely self contained, maybe a 1-3 watt LED, battery operated. The light would light up the wing walk area during loading or unloading at night.
    I was thinking the tilt switch would be what supplies power to the entire circuit, starting the 1-3 second delay and the 2-5 minutes off timer. When the door closes, the tilt switch would cut power to the circuit, resetting it.
    being a mech Engineer, I can package it all up but designing the circuit to be as simple as possible is not in my skill set.
