I'm starting to get into building my own electroincs, and I have come across a 555 chip. What exactly does it do? I know you can use it to "pulse" a signal (like a rapidfire controller, but I have no idea HOW) and what ELSE can it do?
Part of the reason I ask is I am very interested in rapid fire controllers. Lost job and all that jazz, but gaming controllers and things such as that fall into my hands often. Modding and selling them sounds interesting but I'm just not grasping the idea behind a 555 chip.
But more importantly I think you can use these for some fairly fancy electronics other than "rapid fire" controllers for gaming people.
