NE555 tutorial: three useful circuits

Learn how to use the NE555 integrated circuit!

In this tutorial we go through the basics of the NE555 integrated circuit and build three useful circuits: an oscillator (astable mode), a timer (monostable mode), and a flip flop (bistable mode).

Thanks for tuning in, and let me know in the comments if you have any questions!

Very noob-friendly! I love that you've shown elements on schematics and on breadboard at the same time, explaining one by one what it's for. Oustanding visualisation makes it very easy to understand and not get confused. Definitely gonna watch more of your videos!

Thank you for the good video and telling it beginner friendly.
also the articulation is very good to hear the words that are spoken


Keep up the Good work
👌

This is an amazingly clear explanation of how this popular circuit component works. Both the explanation and the accompanying video illustrations are especially friendly for anyone who wants to follow along. It moves pretty fast, but that's perfect for Youtube, where the viewer can pause and rewatch until the concepts are understood. Great job!

Dude, Du bist einfach meine Rettung! Ich hab nen Labortermin in Praktische Elektronik verpasst und muss jetzt nen Bericht über Monoflop und Oszillator schreiben. Danke !!!

Wow. Well done. One of the best (and easiest to understand) explanations of the NE555 (and its most common mode configurations) I have ever seen on YT, IMO. Very well explained and presented, as usual. Great work!!!

[hectormata]

Definitely motivated me to try this entry level electronics project because the explanations and video were made very easy to understand and to follow. Thank you so much.

[RinksRides]

Such a quality video. Thank you for omitting the stupid background music, makes it easier to follow.

I watched about ten 555 videos but I can^t manage to understand this beast.
