A 555 shaped discrete component 555 timer @hackaday @hackadayio

Kelvin Brammer on Hackaday.io details the build of a 555 timer IC with discrete components. The twist is the parts are mounted on a printed circuit board shaped like the numbers 555.

I had been thinking about making another 555 timer PCB, but one such that the PCB itself said 555. One Hackaday article, “Smallest Discrete Transistor 555 Timer” by Tiny Transistors, inspired me to attempt something similar, but using SMD parts.

I decided to also make a small 8 pin adapter board so that my 555 PCB would stand up proudly from any circuit it was plugged in to.

See the files and details on Kevin’s post on hackaday.io and an article about it on Hackaday.
