hey Im new here but I have been looking at this site for about 2 weeks now... I was too lazy to register
So hre is my question... how can I control the output pulse from a 555 timer... I saw on vid on youtube that the guy has and adjustment knob on it... any one know how to help me? Thnx

thnx for the help but I didnt understand nothing thats why I came here for help... Im using this but a rapid fire mod im making but it kind of shoots slow and i wanted to add a knob on my controller so I can adjust from shotting faster and slower... any clue what can I do to make my output pulse faster? Thnx
If you used the calculators above, you'd see that reducing the value of the timing capacitor or the timing resistor, will make it "fire" faster. If you want detailed instructions on how to modify your circuit, you must supply us with a schematic of said circuit and tell us the max and min fire rate that you want. Without a schematic, all we can do is give you generic advice like that above.
You got a bald eagle and an American flag and you're dissing video games? It's right up there with apple pie and oversized gas-guzzling SUV's. A lot of us got into electronics because of video games.
Simon - the knob is on a pot. A pot's a potentiometer and that's a variable resistor. Turn the knob and the resistance changes and then you can frak the hell out of some noob.
why ppl that have over 1000 post always have to act... you know....
