This LED flasher give similar circuit with the previous transistor LED flasher, but this circuit use a 555  integrated circuit chip as the active component. Here is the schematic diagram of the LED flasher circuit: This circuit gives alternating LED flashing, but with different flashing period between LED 1 and LED 2. The [...]

In this video tutorial,  you can learn how to make a LED flasher circuit using 555 IC. The project uses a breadboard, so you don’t need any soldering work. A good start for do it yourself  (DIY) project. [Video tutorial source: Youtube.Com]

This 555 circuit will activate a buzzer and turn on a LED lamp when you touch the probe. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: lf you touch the plates, the lamp and the buzzer will be activated for a predetermined time period. The time period is determined by 100k resistor and the 10uF [...]

Testing whether a transistor is shorted or open usually done by ohm meter. You test if the base to emitter  or collector permit a current flow in one direction. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The 555 timer ( IC1 ) operate as a 12hz  oscillator. The output of this oscillator (pin 3) [...]

Pulse width modulator produce a PWM signal, a pulse with a constant frequency but with the duty cycle vary according to a modulating signal. Here is the schematic diagram of pulse width modulator circuit using 555 IC as the active component: This pulse width modulator circuit need external pulse train input to trigger [...]

Sawtooth wave oscillator  circuit can be implemented using several methods, here we present one design that employs 555 IC.  Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The core of the circuit uses  general 555 oscillator configuration, but instead of using a fixed resistor to limit the current for charging the capacitor, we [...]
