  • Karen has been digging into 555 timers for a bit now. In a previous video, she did an overview of the 3 different modes in which a 555 timer can be used. In this video, Karen goes into further detail about one of those modes: Bistable. In bistable mode, signals at two inputs are used to manually set the output of the 555 timer high or low. For example, one button could trigger the output to turn a light on, while a second button could reset the output to turn the light off. This video goes over what is happening in the 555 timer internally to make this type of circuit work. Karen also presents a practical example on a breadboard to show using a 555 timer in bistable mode: bit.ly/2wF2xtP

    Excellent description of how this configuration is set up and functions.
    (I can't help it; I learned to call it the "five fifty-five timer" back when it first came out, and hearing it called "five five five timer" clashes with that. 😁 No worries; keep up the good work!)

      Yes, it's such a neat little building block component. It's a happy middle ground between too simple and too complex. These days so many people see a tech problem and want to throw an Arduino or Raspberry Pi at it, when a few components like 555s and such can be simpler and reliable. Yes, being able to make changes via software is great, but overkill for many applications.

    • @seditiousmonkeyart
      @seditiousmonkeyart 2 роки тому

      You wouldn't use this to power the motor directly. For that you would connect the motor directly to its power supply through something like a relay, mosFET or BJT. You would then use the 555 to switch these on or off. Of course this will only give you off/on control. Controlling the motor's speed will need a way of creating a PWM signal.

      @bobblum5973 Рік тому

      Excellent question!
      1) Try it and see! (Learn by doing. 🙂)
      2) One thing to consider: Chances are they won't both make contact at the _exact_ same time. One will end up first, the other last. That's why debounce circuits are needed, since the switch contacts can literally bounce, making and breaking connection a few times until they stabilize.

  • @prakashsharma6186

    Once the trigger is set to ground, output goes high. Ok . But as soon as push button is released , it will connect to vcc . So trigger pin goes on high voltage. How does output remains high. Kindly explain. I am new to electronic.

      but its a big important detail being omitted. the sr latch is the whole reason the output remains in its steady state after the buttons are released. if the output came directly from the comparators, as depicted, then it would not have a stable mode.

    The explanation of how this circuit works (and the internal architecture of the 555 timer) is very wrong in almost every way. The outputs of the comparators in a 555 timer do *not* connect directly to the output pin (which is just as well because if one was high and the other was low, it would be an internal short circuit). They go to the inputs of an SR latch. It is this latch that "holds" the state. A comparator by itself would not latch either output state in the way described once the button that activated it was released. To suggest that it would is very misleading. Really, it would be best to take this video down and reshoot it with a proper explanation of how the circuit works. That would be an interesting video.
