Hello, I am relatively new to this forum as a registered member but have been reading as an unregistered guest for quite some time. I have searched and searched through search engines and forums and am really not having too much luck finding any information on using several 555 timers in an astable configuration together in the same circuit.
Albeit there might be much simpler ways to accomplish the end result, I figured that this little project would be a great way to learn how to manipulate each and every tweak on a 555 astable circuit. I would like to use 5 555timers to light up 5 different LEDs at different intervals (when 1 goes off, 2 comes on, etc.). The end goal would be to have a set of three LEDs/555s that would operate independently from the last two, as they are different colors.
Could someone kindly assist in this endeavour, or at least point me in the right direction to find some help with this? I am a novice electronics hobbyist who is pretty much self taught, and any advice would be great. I can wire the 555 in a simple astable and accomplish the goal of lighting 5 LEDs, however I cannot control the interval at which the 2nd and 3rd 555s begin their frequency cycling, etc.
In addition, I would also be interested to hear what other solutions you might provide to accomplish the same goal.
Thanks in advance for any help.
