In this tutorial I am going to create a Police Light themed LED Flashing circuit using the 555 timer IC. My 5-year old son asked me to create a Police Car like flashing light that he can put on top of ...

One of the most common clichés around here is that a piece of equipment chosen for a project is always too advanced. If a Raspberry Pi was used, someone will say they should have used an Arduino. If ...

The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

This 5-color LED flasher circuit can be built using the popular 555 timer and 4017 decade counter ICs. It does not require any expensive components like a microcontroller. The timer IC is used as an ...

The NE555 is a popular IC that functions as a timer or an oscillator. It’s an 8-pin IC available in various packages. We are using an SOP-8 package of the IC. Due to the versatile functioning of the ...

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 ...

Heralded as a sub-1 V analog timer platform that revolutionizes the conventional 555 timer for low-voltage, battery-operated small appliances, the SX8122 analog timer extends battery life via ...
