Very good example of usage of 555 timer. We need just few components to create useful circuit.

It is really good to play around like this even if a practical application isn't immediately available. It is like practicing as it keeps your skills tuned up and provides resource ideas and experience when an application is present. thank you for sharing your explorations.

I like it.

Even today the 555 chip still has a wealth of interesting capabilities still waiting to be discovered.

Hi Jon,

Great work on the 555 oscillator. When I was back in school, these little things were the best! I used a bunch of these in a synthesizer project, trying to create a clean multiphonics keyboard. At the time, this was a bit of a reach for my skills, but this might be a fun project to revive some day.

Hi Jon,

That's very cool : )

I'd seen sawtooth generation with the 555 before with the top single transistor as current source, but I'd not seen two combined before!
