Monostable multivibrator circuit diagram and its working. It can be used as timers, delay circuits, gated circuits etc. Read this post for more details about its circuit, operation and uses.

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...
