Switch De Bounce Using a 555 Timer Chip.

The 555 is a very versatile device and should not be pigeonholed as a “timer”. In this video I show how the 555 can transpose a horrible mechanical switch output into an almost perfect square output without all the bounce! If you have not seen my previous 555 video which explains the internal building blocks, I suggest you take a look by clicking the below link:- https://youtu.be/3lEN6hEGUmE?si=2YMth54Ov4rNPY30 Anyhow, in this follow-up video I show what switch bounce is, the drawn out transition generated by the normal capacitor/resistor arrangement, and ultimately this nifty 555 solution.
