After reviewing 555 timers in general, in this tutorial we go over one of the 3 common 555 timer configurations, the monostable multivibrator configuration. Josh reviews how the monstable configuration acts and goes into painstaking detail about why it acts the way it does, moving step by step through what happens internally to the 555 timer. He finishes up with a real life example using a 555 timer on a breadboard that's hooked up to an oscilloscope, showing how the timer actually works in normal conditions.
