Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 ...

The function of the 555 timer is mainly determined by two comparators. The output voltage of the them controls the state of the RS flip-flop and the discharge tube. It also contains 3 working states.

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...
