IC555
We built a circuit using an IC555 timer to delay signals and make an LED blink. This showed how the IC555 can regulate timing.
The aim was to experiment with the signal delay function of the IC555, demonstrating how a simple power source and timer IC can create precise LED blinking effects.
Supplies
IC555, resistors x3( 2x1K ohm, 1x470K ohm), jumper wires, capacitor (100uF), 9V battery, LED, breadboard, 8 pin ic-bed
Mock circuit made on tinkercad (mock circuits are set up before trying out with actual components to check if the connections are correct, this prevents us from accidentally frying the components)
