- logbiscuitswave 5y agoIf you want something in kit form, I’m a big fan of this: https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/652 https://shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/652 It’s a beautiful representation of a 555 timer in discrete component form - and functional too. The 555 timer itself is a pretty simple IC since it’s just a few dozen transistors and resistors at its core.
