pulse_gen_monostable_555.pdfSorry for the obtuse name. This circuit was modeled after tree crickets, which make a wide range of sounds at night. The various options ("OPT") can get confusing, so start with basic components / values and experiment from there.Adobe Portable Document Format - 77.44 kB - 10/20/2018 at 03:51 |
