I’m a child of the 70s … 555 timers and 741 op-amps rule!

@CronaTheAwper 2 роки тому

Friendship ended with 741, 358 are my new best friend now.

@nevin6571 5 місяців тому

I am an electrical and electronics engineering student , and I study the LM 741 and I like it very much

@phillyphakename1255 5 місяців тому

I grew up on more modern stuff, but got a job fixing the old stuff. 4n35, 358, and all the wonders of discrete chips. It's great!

@ttjtv3 3 місяці тому

Most people are nostalgic for 70s music or cars. But not us we like 70s microchips

@jankomuzykant1844 2 місяці тому

uA723 also 😉

This + rectifier diodes + potentiometer + MOSFET = dirt cheap and super robust PWM LED strip dimmer.

NE555 walking on breadboard staying alive

@nikitacheblokov8032 2 місяці тому

That's such a specific reference, I love it

@Torsan1977 2 роки тому

Made my own turn signals for my bike using some 555s. Very nice!

@assassinlexx1993 2 роки тому

Always great hear a practical use of a 555

@mrgcav 2 місяці тому

They tried to discontinue the 555 in the 1990's. All you could get for years was the 556. Well it is BacK ! It will never die.

SMD versions are hard to come by though ...

@JGor_37F Місяць тому

The 555 timer is beloved because it’s one of the very first integrated circuits that electronic students since the late 70’s study and work with in school.

Why is Collin the greatest UKpostsr of all time?

@DoctorX17 2 роки тому

I think he’s magic. Possibly a robot? But magic robot of awesome like Adabot!

Collin, you’re the best!

High 5 for the triple 5‼️

@asianbalot2211 8 місяців тому

Theres many examples of this as the ne555 walking

@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers Рік тому

Everyone glossed over his mention of the TLC551 as being more accurate.

@PatrickKQ4HBD 4 місяці тому

Well is it?

@mustafaacar8514 3 місяці тому

This is brilliant... but I like this one.

@scififan698 Місяць тому

How so?

@hackdesigner 3 місяці тому

Just wanted to let you folks know that I bought A Bluefruit M0 from you back in 2018, 5.5 years ago, it went through a lot of abuse, multiple uses, but still is alive and kicking. you folks do real good hardware!

@ayenijoseph4470 5 місяців тому

Great work This was very useful

@FalloutProto Місяць тому

I use one in the circuitry of my DIY night vision device to supply 3 seconds of 5v power to the intensifier tube every 5 minutes.

@hemanthkumar5438 4 місяці тому

First hobby circuit i got was harmonium, ofcourse powered by 555.

@byronwatkins2565 Місяць тому

It is also a logic latch.

@supercompooper Місяць тому

Let's start a Kickstarter and create a 420 timer

@dandearman2871 2 роки тому

If you work on linear power supplies a lot from the70s, the LM723 voltage regulator is a legend. I still see it used in linear supplies in this day and age.

@markgordon4368 2 місяці тому

555 and 741 are really tough too ❤

@tennicktenstyl 5 місяців тому

I always wondered what were the commercial uses for the 555 timer. Would be funny seeing a gigantic machine being controlled by the little 555. Or maybe a mass produced television

@bluematter435 3 місяці тому

yes but have you considered nerd street cred? ill be sticking to the 555 thank you (psst, ill use the 551 in secret, thanks for the recomendation)

@Qui-9 6 місяців тому

I remember the TLC555 being advertised as doing what you said the TLC551 does. I never came across the latter. I wonder what is the difference?

@NaughtyShepherd Місяць тому

I used these back in the day modding Xbox 360 controllers for rapid fire. 🤓

@nevitt2236 4 місяці тому

I like this better than all those Collin furth videos

@drfailbucket 4 місяці тому

May it be possible to do a video on how IC's are made? I mean not how they produced in the factory i mean how is it working to get "the logic" into them so that the can do what they are designed for? On the datasheet its really interesting to see what such an IC can do but how is it done?

@masterkamen371 4 місяці тому

That's a very good idea. IC design is a very interesting but also immensely complex field. Basic circuits like the 555 timer could be drawn by hand, but modern CPUs and microcontrollers get ridiculously complex. But I doubt he's the right person for that subject.

@drivers99 4 місяці тому

If you like the 555, check out the 556

@mustafaacar8514 3 місяці тому

Isn't it just two 555 put together?

@bouhannacheabdallah 5 місяців тому

555 was everywhere in old electronics hhh

@ParadoxTransistor 8 місяців тому

A pure satisfying video!

One of these lives in my USB soldering iron! It’s a magical chip

you forgot debouncing circuit!

@zettaton 3 місяці тому

Still, i dont know how to use one of these, so i use multivibrator.

@tim_allen_jr 5 місяців тому

cool blue resistor on that breadboard

@reliablef2p 27 днів тому

So, can we make a synth with it?

@Alientraveler003 2 роки тому

I thought there were a few nano dudes in there playing tennis 🤣

This is literally space magic to me.

stayin alive

@microdesigns2000 2 роки тому

In the mid 80's I had quite a lot of these. One interesting thing I did a few times was to hook up the 555 so that after a set amount of time, it's face would blow of like a firecrackers. It was a true one shot.
