555 Frequency Divider

More fun!!!!!! 

When you adjust the pot in the top left the out put will be divided.

99% = 1/1
90% = 1/2
80% = 1/3
70% = 1/4
60% = 1/5
50% = 1/6

Below that it's not as clear cut. But it can be adjusted to give what ever fraction you need.

It's not fun when you pay $2 for one imaginary part only on a simulation program.

Now that you mention it, 555 timers cost (much) less in real life than in the simulation

@spammailbox-You are actually right on that. You can go to radioshack and save a way better deal on 555s than the simulation and radioshack is costly.

Yes but how many 555's are blown learning how to use them? 》3 dollars worth, I bet!

As for the circuit, it's a not a freq divider....

@cjdelphi, I've destroyed 5 IC on my first 555-based project. At 5$ for 100 pcs, it's just .2$. And I don't have any formal EE education

Yes, @cjdelphi, including shipping (actually it was free shipping from China)
