Electronic Playground Astable Multivibrator

A simple astable multivibrator. Due to the small number of components available in the playground there are no two components with the same value so I had to use different value components for the two sides of the multivibrator which is why it’s unbalanced, but I did manage to make it have a roughly 50% duty cycle. Also, if I set the simulation to simulate at 1s/s then it stays in sync with the real life circuit for about 10 or 20 cycles, which makes sense given that most components have a 5% or 10% margin of error.

You’re now too old for the playground.

Yeah, but I don’t have any other way to construct circuits IRL right now.

Try eBay, talking electronics.com or Google starter electronic kits and there are many for under $20 USD.

I know there’s plenty of stuff online, but I’m too busy for hobbies right now with school and stuff and even when I do have free time I’d rather relax by playing video games. But maybe one day I’ll get some real electronics stuff to play around with.

I often feel the same way, I wanna do more electronics projects more often, but I’m just not in the mood cause I’d rather relax doing something else. Probably also why Im only on this app once a week or so
