555 Timer Circuits

555 Timers are fun and a great way to start learning electronics

MUSIC BOX Circuit

This circuit produces 10 different tones and by selecting suitable values to change the voltage on pin 5, the result can be quite pleasing. Note: the two unused outputs of the 4017 produce a tone equal to that produced by the 555 when pin 5 has no external control voltage.
