Thank you so much, Craig!

Thanks Jens. That was interesting. I wasn't sure if the duty cycle on a 555 could be modified, now I know. Take care.

Thank you, Jerry, I am glad you like the video! Yeah, the NE555 is fantastic. I hope to use it more in other projects, too. Have a great weekend :)

Amazing tutorial. I have no use for this, but I might build one just because this was so in depth. 👍
