    HEY YOU ABOUT TO POST SOMETHING STUPID:
    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
    One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
    It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

    I like it. It's clean, simple, and glitch-free with no race conditions. The timing is generous. Other bistable latches I've seen are complicated and cluttered. The output structure of a 555 can drive a truck. It's a great task for a 555.

    I set this circuit up as soon as I saw it. It sticks to the KISS principle ( Keep it simple stupid) Works perfectly, I have made transistor versions of on off latches and find they are susceptible to noise, especially when driving Mosfets. This circuit is a winner winner chicken dinner, well done. I will be using it all the time.😀👍

    We have always in steady state 2.5V on pins 2&6, even when output is low! Only in transition states we have about 0 in one case and about 4V in the second and that is the reason that it works.
    Any way, thank you for the presentation of the interesting circuit.

      Mr Remmoz Thanks for that. I am admittedly at a low level with this stuff, but i had no idea exactly what was going on. Your comment helped. One problem (and there are many) is that most people don’t know why all this circuitry is necessary at all. It’s a light switch, or even simpler, it’s twisting two wires together. Have followed and built dozens of things with the help of Ben Eater and always learn lots. Here I learnt nada, zilch, nothing.

    Won’t that momentary switch need a debounce capacitor?

  • @goodwill7643
    @goodwill7643 Před 5 lety

    I think its useful for production where you want produce many quantities for minimum price.
    For hobby, usually if you come to an idea how you can improve your product ,then MCU like Attiny85 gives you much room for improvement without changing PCB layout.
    I had few project which were simple, but after some time I realized that I could create more functionality and with 555 timer you simply can't do it. However if you use MCU - just update firmware.
    Anyway, video is great, and it is good to know something more about 555 timers. Thank you.

    @danielrine3103 Před 5 lety

    Wonderful video, I have used the 555 in the bistable mode using 2 push button switches. I have built audio amplifiers using the LM386 and the TDA2822, and the 555 to turn on and off the amplifier. Trigger pin 2, amp on reset pin 4, amp off. This circuit will now let me use one push button switch to do the same thing. You have a great channel for DIY people such as me, thank you kindly for sharing this. Just one question, I see a 100K, a 10K, but can not make out the other resistor, is that 1K in the top loop? Have a great day, will continue to look for new videos....

      @@la6mp Exactly, He shows how it works but nothing explained. See on the oscilloscope signal from point 2and6 and you understand what I'm saying. But first you have remember in details how RS switch works.

    • @incxxxx
      @incxxxx Před 5 lety

      @@la6mp To be more clear. To put reset in RS of the 555 (pin 2and 6) you have to have the voltage jump above 3.33V (2/3 of 5V) - then output 3 is low in the 555 - LED is off) . And to put set in RS you have to jump below 1.67V for pins 2and6 (1/3 of 5V) - then output 3 is high, LED is on. So, I'm asking, when you have voltage at least 1.67V or 3.33V at pins 2and6 if they have about 2.5V as you measure by multimeter? Did Paul explained it? And this is the whole clue of the matter. Without explanation of this phenomenon the presentation is of very low value.

    @drivejapan6293 Před 4 lety

    I love these videos but if you could have explained about how it works with the trigger and threshold reading the state of the capacitor and how it charges and discharged would have been much better. Knowing how it works is often just as important as it gives a basis to modify and make your own variations rather than just memorizing something.
    Still thumbs up and keep up the good work as an educator.

      @@learnelectronics thanks for the reply. The sheer amount of info and uses for the 555 you go over makes it hard to locate the relevant information and then correlate it to this project. A lot of people watching this are beginners and wouldn't know what to look for or ask and how to find it and relate it to this. I wouldnt take much time to talk about how the trigger and threshold comparing the voltage of the capacitor to VCC.
      Each video as a self contained lesson is good for a lot of the less focused minds that exist in to days face paced world. You actually do that in a lot of your videos but thought it was missing here. Not recommending you go over every aspect of the 555 in every video with one just the relevant info. But I guess as the content creator you yourself have to draw the line somewhere and decide when and what is too much information.

    I recently used a 555 as a mosfet driver in an arduino project - why ? Because i have a heap of them and as they can source and sink current they can be used as drivers and saved me from having to use a logic level capable mosfet or a dedicated mosfet driver , every time i look for a simple circuit to do something the 555 seems to appear ! It would surely have to be the most versatile IC ever !

      Try a J-K flip flop or the NAND gate equivalent hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Electronic/jkflipflop.html . Lacking all of those, you could build the gates out of transistors hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Electronic/nand.html and build the flip flop from those.

    This looks amazing and I want to make it so badly. I've tried though, and it just doesn't work when I do it. I've literally watched this video over ten times. I've paused it, taken notes, looked at the schematic and even copied the exact layout on my board that he has. It just turns the LED on when I push the button but doesn't turn it off. Not sure how to fix the issue but I've spent the last two weeks trying to get a simple on/off 1 button latching switch to work for a project and I can't figure it out. None of the solutions using NPN BJTs, or MOSFETS, or even this 555 timer work whenever I try them. Obviously, I'm the problem, but I don't know what the problem is to fix it. :(
