I just went on David’s YouTube Channel to discover all sorts of interesting things, including a 1-Bit Breadboard Computer along with this video of the 555 vacuum tube timer. Controls (Life Science): Digital Capacity (Incubator/Oven/Chamber): 101 L Voltage (Life Science): 208-240 VAC. This little beauty was created by David Lovett (a.k.a. Memmert VO 101-230V - Vacuum Ovens, 101L. The reason I mention all of this here is that my chum James “Chewy” Vroman just sent me a link to an overkill vacuum tube implementation of a 555 timer project on. There’s also the 555 Footstool, which is a bit corny (pun intended). Take, for example, the Evil Mad Scientist’s Three Fives Kit, which is a functional replica of the classic NE555 timer constructed using discrete transistors and resistors (in the image presented here, a real 555 chip is shown for comparison). The funny thing about the 555 is that - even though it’s close to 50 years old - it manages to keep on merrily trucking away, both in designs and in the popular imagination (well, the popular imagination of those of an engineering bent). Comprising 25 transistors, two diodes, and 15 resistors, and utilizing some clever design techniques - such as replacing an external constant-current source with a direct internal resistance - Hans managed to squeeze the 555 into an eight-pin package.” Comprising 25 transistors, two diodes, and 15 resistors, and utilizing some clever design. Camenzind in 1971 and released to the market in 1972. The itimer can be cleared by setting seconds to. The timer will fire after value seconds and after that every interval seconds. This was the number assigned to the Signetics Timer integrated circuit (IC), which was designed by Hans R. The documentation for titimer says that if the seconds arg is 0, this will clear the timer: setitimer (which, seconds, interval0.0, /) Sets given itimer (one of ITIMERREAL, ITIMERVIRTUAL or ITIMERPROF). Camenzind in 1971 and released to the market in 1972. I went on to say, And, of course, one number that makes all of our ears prick up is 555. This was the number assigned to the Signetics Timer integrated circuit (IC), which was designed by Hans R.
I went on to say, “And, of course, one number that makes all of our ears prick up is 555. As I wrote in my column Ode to a 555 Timer: “When you are an electronics engineer, some numbers cry out to you when you hear them, like 4004 (the world’s first commercial microprocessor chip) and 8051 (if not the first, then certainly one of the most beloved of the early microcontrollers).” Three Fives Kit (Click image to see a larger version - Image source: EvilMadScientist)
