This IC 555 software calculates the values of the resistors and capacitors for a NE555 timer chip, which is designed as a astable multivibrator (oscillator), or square wave generator. You simply have to type in the duty cycle and the frequency and the calculator will work out realistic values for the resistors and capacitors. Alternatively, […]

4 Simple Proximity Sensor Circuits – Using IC LM358, IC LM567, IC 555
Video Demonstration An IR proximity sensor is a device which detects the presence of an object or a human when it is within a predetermined range from the sensor, through reflected infrared beams. Three useful proximity sensor concepts are explained here, the first concept is based on an ordinary opamp LM358, the second one using […]
Stepper Motor Driver Circuit using IC 555
In this project we are going learn how to make a simple unipolar stepper motor driver circuit using 555 timer IC. Apart from 555 timer we also need IC CD 4017 which is a decade counter IC. By Ankit Negi Any unipolar motor can be connected to this circuit for performing specific task, though you […]
How to Control a Servo Motor using IC 555
In this project I have explained the basic specifications of a servo motor and also how to control a Servo Motor using a 555 timer IC, and just two push buttons. By Ankit Negi WHY SERVO? Servo Motors are used in variety of fields. These are mainly used as actuators in those areas where we […]
