The 555 Timer Madness competition is now closed and we are looking for volunteers to choose a Grand Prize winner and award the First Place finishers. If you didn't get a chance to participate and this is a theme of interest to you then we could use your help in picking a winner!
-
The 555 Timer Madness contest challenges you to do something special or unusual using 555 timers. The 555 timer is very versatile and it can be used in a variety of circuits and in unusual circuits such as a Schmidt triggers, abstable gadgets, long period timers, LED flashers and alarms, signal injectors, egg timers, continuity timers, morse code timers, beeping prank devices, security trip alarms, music synthesizers, traffic light control systems, and more.
You will be judged on the basis of the following criteria:
- Follow the Steps - Did they provide the steps it took to complete the project (text, video, or images) and/or schematics.
- Submit Video Proof - Did they post a video proof of their project?
- Stick to the Theme - How well did the project stick to the theme of the competition?
- Demonstrate Originality - Did they come up with a clever name for their project? Or did they introduce something new or that is not commercially available?
