I created a 555 Adjustable Delay On Off Timer Circuit. This timer circuit is useful when you need to power On/Off any AC Appliances after a pre-defined duration. For example, you can use this circuit to automatically turn off a mobile charger after a certain period of time to avoid over charging, or you can turn on/off a light bulb after a certain period.

The time delay of this circuit can be adjusted by using various combinations of resistors and capacitors.

    I see that some 50 years later 555’s are still ticking along. I used a couple of them to flash the leds on a foam snowman I made for a Christmas display on the ship I was stationed on. The chips made it easier than building TTL timer circuits by hand.
