/technologies/555-timers/b/blog/posts/555s-used-as-monostablesI&#39;ve never used a 555 timer as a monostable, so I thought I&#39;d give it a go. This should be easy, shouldn&#39;t it. Here&#39;s the circuit as it&#39;s given on an old ST datasheet. As they describe it, a falling edge at the trigger input sets the output and...en-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/technologies/555-timers/b/blog/posts/555s-used-as-monostablesWed, 11 May 2022 09:57:15 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:ab18e61f-cb04-4ce4-b09d-7a214378ea7bshabaz0<p>Neat demo!</p> <p>I&#39;ve not used monostable mode much either.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23568&AppID=370&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/555-timers/b/blog/posts/555s-used-as-monostablesWed, 11 May 2022 01:28:11 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:ab18e61f-cb04-4ce4-b09d-7a214378ea7brobogary0<p>Here is a secret.......this arduino ray gun project&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-4IWkrXu9E">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-4IWkrXu9E</a></p> <p>has 2 555s in it.</p> <p>One is used as the debouncer on the trigger.</p> <p>The other 555 is the clock that sequences the LED rotation&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23568&AppID=370&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/555-timers/b/blog/posts/555s-used-as-monostablesTue, 10 May 2022 18:27:41 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:ab18e61f-cb04-4ce4-b09d-7a214378ea7bDAB0<p>Yes, the 555 can be the source of endless fun and circuit variations.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23568&AppID=370&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
