Non-Standard 555 Wiring

Non-Standard Timer wiring to change the cycle logic. The discharge (pin-7) is rerouted to allow more direct current flow and feedback to the component load. ⚡🔌 The two-way switch operation settings are as follows. Two-Way Switch Logic 🎛️ Switch Setting 1: Single Lamp Mode - Discharge path is focused. energy collapses into one lamp. - Waveform shows sharper, narrower peaks - Faster rise/fall times - Lower RMS current - Minimal rebound artifacts - Lamp acts as a stylus witness, visualizing collapse with precision Switch Setting 2: Full Array Mode - Discharge collapse energy spreads across multiple lamps - Waveform shows broader peaks and dual-phase rebound - Higher RMS current - Slight delay in collapse due to distributed load - Echoes visible in current trace as post-collapse rebound If you wish to tune it yourself. The settings are simple 🎛️ The capacitor coming from VCC (pin-8) gets a little smaller and the bulbs brighten. Lower/raise the value to adjust energy discharge level. 🔋 The capacitor coming from RES (pin-4) gets a little smaller and the snap gets a little faster. Lower/raise the value to adjust speed of circuit discharge. ⚡ Comments always welcome 👽
