Title: 555 as a lfo trigger circuit bending
Post by: Blindjoedeath on June 08, 2019, 04:20:06 AM

Hi, im relatively new to circuit bending. I was wondering if anyone can provide any advice/info about using a 555 in monostable mode as a lfo trigger as a circuit bend.

Many thanks

BUMP - I'd like some info on this as well :)

So, I think you can just connect the base of an NPN transistor to pin 3 of the 555, and then connect the other two legs of the NPN transistor to the points you want to connect.

However, from my understanding, this may not create a "pure bend" (i.e. 0 ohm, pure conductive, no resistance connection). To do that you could use a reed relay
