This has been a lot more than an explanation of the way the NE555 works; it is an introduction to electronics! Very well done, Mr Winter, and many thanks.
Half an hour of my life well spent! I bought a breadboard set with two 555s on a whim, and this made it very easy to understand what the chip is doing. Thank you!
Excellent video. Half an hour of my life very well spent. I've spent far greater a time trying to comprehend the operation of the 555NE IC prior to this very well explained and comprehensible tutorial. Thank you for taking your time to compose such a well organized explanation upon a topic I've been seeking to comprehend.
Finally someone Who explains 555 with detail, I am so happy when I found your video. Who says its booring? It's a splendid tutorial if you ask me, and beside you explain it for free, Only people who doesn't understand this would find it booring, but for me its really helpful and very easy to understand, and the circuit example you provide made me come up of something as my electronics project, Thank you so much and God blessed you!
You helped me to really understand the 555 timer, thanks so much, because every other video never went in depth about what the functions and jobs of what each pin does. It's all "do this, and this happens" without the why. You explained the why. Absolutely terrific explanation of the chip. Thanks again.
Wow great video. You have no idea how hard it is to find a clear concise video on the 555. Thanks I now have a firm grasp of both how to hook this chip up and a good general understanding of its theory of operation.
A super video. What many of us need is a spot welding control circuit. Less than one second on & 2-3 seconds off. Have not found one yet that's simple & actually works. Thanks so much Ed c
Great explanation- really helpful. If your students don't find this interesting then that's their problem. You're a good teacher. No need to apologise. Best wishes.
this was a brilliant video. i watched one where a guy simply wires up a 555 chip, but didn't explain everything so well. i followed what he did and only got an led that was permanently on. thanks for making this clearer. most definitely a good video.
Sorry mate, your videos aren't boring enough haha, love watching electronics tutorials to go to sleep to, learn + bore myself to sleep = winning. This tutorial is so in depth and I just want to pay full attention, subscription from me :)
Great video! I'm using the 555 to reset a flip-flop and it's been kinda difficult to learn how to set it up. Your explaination helped me understand a lot. Many thanks!
I have been having some troubles with 30 monostable "one-shot" circuits that I'm making for a really advanced security system. Using all the same value components I'm getting some of them that work properly and some that aren't working until a minute goes by. However by watching your lesson, I learnt that by installing a trimmer pot between Pin (6 and 7 tied together) and pin 8, I can fine tune them into the same timing! Many thanks for this upload mate!!
Dude your video is so awesome but I just want you to stop complaining saying it is boring video I need you to stop bad affirmations because you made a great video dude !
Thanks man. That's a nice thing to say! Most of my students call this boring... Hence what I said. I'm just amazed TH-cam has found this video so popular... Wasn't intended for anyone other than my students!
Rob Winter everything is boring when we don't understand,but when things get clear and specially when you have passion for that thing it will be exciting instead. I'm looking forward for some other videos because I love electronics and i love the way you explain things and you helped me understand it better
Rob Winter Thanks for the video! I just bought an electronics learning lab four days ago and I wanted to understand how the ic555 works. Your video definitely helps to clarify most of my questions!
i can tell you how its popular, everyone else just shows how to hook it up. you show the how and why it is doing what its doing. and make it simple enough that anyone could understand what is going on. i thank you, if not for this i do not think i would have ever understood what was going on.
thanks! I'm glad some people get what's going on at least! half my students still claim they don't get it from this video hence why I figured it was too complex/boring!
Long yes, boring no. but i am a self taught person at this, and i am now getting into animating my props, so this stuff is needed. I would like to see a simple break down of PNP and NPN transistors the diffrences between regulars and mosfets, what they are used for why they are used, what are the diffrent things they can be used for. becasue they are the next thing i want to click in my head, and me understand..
thanks for the vid, all other videos just told where to put things... they skipped the whole point of learning how a circuit works, but this video was right on point. Great job... i literally built the circuit as i watched the video.
Thank you very much.........the best 555 timer tutorial on the internet.............I was struggling to grasp the concept behind the working of this chip...........but this video made it seem so simple........and thankyou for 'circuit wizard'......it is truly very intuitive........thanks a ton......................
I thought you did a great job at explaining monostable and astable configurations. The use of circuit wizard was a great visual as well as the voltmeter and probe for graphing time. This can be pretty dry/boring stuff, but somehow you kept me interested for the entire 30 mins! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Really liked your video. Was a nice, concise explanation with good use of simulations to explain its working. The examples illustrating where they can be used, and its connection to other circuits/chips (like the decoder) helped a lot. Thanks again!
Dude, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. This will definitely help in me in my Electronics lab and gave me some ideas for an individual design we have to work on!
Thanks! Very simple and informative. I think I can work out how to make an Atari Punk synth work on 2x 555's instead of 1x 556 as all the successful schematics I can find online show! Also, a practical use for the photo sensor would be the armed-light for an alarm like you see on the outside of a commercial building. Invert it though: flashes in daylight so it's visible to someone looking for it; constantly on at night so it's less annoying to those nearby.
Hi Thom, a 556 is basicaly just 2 555 timers on one chip anyway with common power and ground legs... shouldn't be that different to wire up. Glad you're learning and experimenting - That's how you learn.
Wow, sir! You made the concept so simple in just 30 mins equals long time memory through detailed understanding. Also the examples given by you(even those with explanation) have triggered my brain to try creative circuits.
One of the best introduction to the 555 chip on youtube so far!!! 30 min`s that are worth it... actually I have few projects for the 555 comming :) ...kep up the good work !!!
How come I didn't come across this video when I was doing my GCSE electronics 3 years ago?!?! this is it Litttt!!!! Just remembered about 555 timers when I was trying to add PWM for my buck converter
Hey Man, this video was great, don't be so hard on your self! Really helped me understand what was going on with the 555 chip and circuit wizard looked so good I went and got it. Way better than multi-sim and LTSpice. Going to watch your other stuff now :) Thanks!
I absolutely needed this video. I didn't know why my chip exploded... but now I see that I created a frequency that blue up my chip. Lol 😆 I was just wiring up stuff without knowing what would would happen.
Very helpful! Thank you for uploading this. My solid states devices class's book "went out of print" so our teacher just gave us an encyclopedia of information to put on our flash drive which tends to get too in depth and hard to understand the way everything is worded. I got my final exam today so I'm trying to study like a maniac to get everything understood and engraved in my brain. This was a nightmare to understand from my flash drive but you sir have made it 100 times simpler. Thanks a ton, and I hope you have a fantastic day! P.S.- You just gained a subscriber =)
Very good video, really appreciate how you explain the roles of the components and the way they dictated the time of the current flow and the chip itself using the circuit wizard with out the exhausting mathematics. I have seen many attempt to conduct electronics videos and go over to much stuff making it difficult to understand the concept-great job man!!
Thank you very much! Thanks to you I understand the 555 timer enough to be able to figure out why my circuit wasn't working! I don't have an exam about this but I'm interested in it anyways. Sorry for my bad english, I just really wanted to thank you :)
Good job man. You broke it down like a champ. Good job make more videos to make the 555 timer to talk to seven seg display to show decimal count like a timer in a james bond movie haha. Good job
Awesome video, I agree with the other fella, your defiantly not boring and from just this video I now understand how those little buggers work, cheers fella, looking forward to more videos
hahahhaa, I totally lost it to the wife interruption @16:09 ... I feel you bro, it happens to all of us, any way, greatest explanation video ever, keep it up señor, greeting from México PS, we all can google the pinout to this IC, the video is for us to understand what's ticking inside it, stop whining about it.
The last circuit you showed can be used on a Model Railroad mounting the light sensors between the tracks when a train goes over the sensor the sensor would go dark causing the crossing signal to flash.
@14:21 when you put that resistance to 700...it becomes less than the other path's resistance i.e. 1k...so naturally current should fill capacitor first even without trigger
This was the MOST detailed and WELL EXPLAINED tutorial I have ever seen so far!!! Simple AWESOME!!! By the way Rob, do you have more tutorials on circuits, and basics like transistors, caps, resistors?
hi everyone. Thanks for the nice comments! i only made this to help my students... Glad it's helping others. As people wanted to know, the software I am using is called 'circuit wizard 2.0' made by a company called new wave concepts. its excellent and does a lot more than this video demonstrates... including PIC chip programming and simulation. please support them and purchase.
Hi Bob, I just came across your video (published 3 years ago in 2013) which is a great help in helping me understand Monostable and Astable 555 circuits. I am a bit of a neophyte to electronics and your videos have been a great help. I would like to know where I maybe able to obtain the Monostable and Astable circuits Circuit Wizard software you use in your videos. Please keep up the great instructional videos.
Thank you for the excellent video , and for your time , much appreciated , I am a beginner to electronics only as a hobby , but I find it very interesting , only problem is there is so much information on TH-cam , and the Internet in general that it becomes even more confusing , so my question is , would you know any good BEGINNERS books or VIDEOS I could purchase , or could I source a course at maybe gcse level and hopefully go from there . I suppose you could class me as a mature student 54 years mature to be exact lol . But I find electronics fascinating and it's never too late to learn ........ I hope
Its funny as you say you had a 10 Minute Conversation at 20:49 yet you came back at 20:50! Hahah :D Excellent Explaning Thanks as Have My Exam Tomorrow
Suppose I only had the red LED in the monostable-feeding-an-astable circuit seen at 26:00 , in that case there would be nothing wrong with connecting pins 4&8 on the astable 555, then connecting the output from the monostable 555 to pin 8, right? If I'm thinking correctly, that would just mean that the monostable output is acting as the VCC for entire astable 555 timer, right?
Danke für das Vid, auch wenn ich kein English verstehe. Planlesen kann ich dafür ;) Ich denke es ist das beste auf YT. Fehlt nur noch eines mit 2 bzw. 3x NE555.
you can reduce the astable circuit by one resistor, you dont need 2 in the 'timing chain' feed, connect pins 2 and 6, connect resistor from output (3) to pin 2+6 , and capacitor from this junction to ground, with output taken from 3 as usual, this certainly works with the standard 555 or 556, but no idea about the cmos versions as have never used them
Hi Rob, thanks for the tutorial! I'm working on a project applying the concept of Mono controlled Astable circuit to create a self-resetting alarm using a 4Ω buzzer, activated by an LDR. I've been having trouble getting the output signal across the buzzer to go to zero after the time specified by the monostable timer. I would greatly appreciate your help. My simulations have been carried out using LTspice.
Hey, Without a circuit diagram it's almost impossible to see where you're going wrong... I don't post personal info like my email etc on TH-cam for obvious reasons, but if you can figure out a way of showing me the circuit I can take a look and give an opinion. Rob
