Manual Clock Circuit Controls: Speed and Single-Step

- We add a (logarithmic) potentiometer and a single-step mode switch and button to our clock circuit.
This design was inspired by Julian Ilett's clock circuit • 555 Timer Clock Circui...
Compare with Ben Eater's Clock circuit • Bistable 555 - 8-bit c... where he goes in depth into the different modes of a 555 timer.
Schematic available: excess.org/clo...

All three of those features would work better than Ben Eater’s version. The logarithmic potentiometer, the de-bouncer actually working, and only using one 555. Your channel looks amazing. I hope you make a lot more videos.
Excellent video!!!
Is schematic available? Trying to understand this.
Once I learn how to draw some schematics I'll post them on my site excess.org/cpu Shouldn't take too long
Philip, I've added a schematic to: excess.org/clock-controls/
@@IanWard1 Good job man
You didn't mention if lowering the resistance speeds up or slows down the light
Lowering the resistance will speed up the blinking because it allows the capacitor to charge and discharge more quickly. Choosing a smaller capacitor value will also speed up the blinking because it takes less time for the capacitor to charge to 2/3 or discharge to 1/3 and switch directions. Thank you for the comment!
@IanWard1 Thanks. I'll get a big pot so I have some play with the speed
but how do we connect this clock to another circuit?
Buy taking the output from Pin 3 of 555, same one to which LED is connected.
ooo nice screwdriver
wow nice math joke
i smart
cringe glasses tbh but great video
Is it possible with a three pin potentiometer?
Yes it should work with the middle pin and one of the side pins on a normal pot, but in the upper range of the adjustment you'll see a much smaller change in frequency than in the lower range.
