My new PCB uses a dual 555 timer (it's called a 556) in both astable and monostable modes to produce a variable pulse width oscillator running at about 1kHz.

Julian – I love your ingenuity, but FFS – just buy a 556, they are like 9p each. Great video as always btw 🙂
Get a 556 so we can see clearly what is happening!
There is a third option – design a new PCB daughter board which takes two 555's and gives the pinout of a 556 to plug into the oscillator board. 🙂
Should have made the board able to take both 555 and 556 to start with.
Buy a 556!
Please just for us contort a second 555.
Get the 556 – pity Maplin has gone, you could be making the second video now. Are there any High Street electronic stores in the UK anymore?
You are Awesome, Julian! May the Sun Shine on you always. (You may have to migrate). 😉
I truly Love Your videos. I watch the other guy, too. The one on the Island? Ya, you and him are my favourites.
I don't really need explosions to be entertained but sometimes I like the excitement. Other times I like to relax and watch someone build something from scratch. Audio or Audio Manipulation I find interesting. LED's are cool, too. (Well, usually :-))
I love the 555 timer chip. I just learned, here, there is a 556. I like how you show the properties and similarities of both. I am learning from great teachers like you. Thanks, Man! Cheerio.
I do believe it's time to mangle a triple-nickel! 🙂
Steal a 556 from your Fruit Machine project lol
Oh for goodness sake, take my patreon money and buy yourself a 556.
its an RC filter on the plus11v minus11v lines
Get the right part, I’ve got one you can have but it will take a while to get there LOL.
Reason why 555s are very noisy is they draw huge, over 200mA spikes during switching transition. The CMOS 7555 does not!
