@Alfred I have a battery, a small speaker, a NE556 IC, some resistors and a bread board. Please help me connecting it in a way to produce sound.

@ulfhenrich To connect the battery, small speaker, NE556 IC, resistors, and breadboard to produce sound, you can follow the steps below: 1. Place the NE556 IC on the breadboard with the correct orientation. The notched or dot side of the IC should align with the marked notch or dot on the breadboard. 2. Connect the positive terminal (+) of the battery to the positive rail on the breadboard. Similarly, connect the negative terminal (-) of the battery to the negative rail on the breadboard. 3. Connect pin 8 (VCC) of the NE556 IC to the positive rail on the breadboard. 4. Connect pin 4 (RST) of the NE556 IC to the positive rail

@Alfred So we have the clock IC connected. Go on, please!

@ulfhenrich 5. Connect pin 5 (CTRL) of the NE556 IC to the negative rail on the breadboard. This pin is used to control the function of the IC. 6. Connect pin 6 (THR) of the NE556 IC to pin 3 (OUT) of the NE556 IC. This will create a feedback loop that is essential for generating sound. 7. Connect pin 7 (DIS) of the NE556 IC to the positive rail on the breadboard. This pin is used to disable or enable the internal flip-flops of the IC. 8. Connect pin 13 (TR) of the NE556 IC to one terminal of the small speaker. 9. Connect the other terminal of the small

@ulfhenrich speaker to the negative rail on the breadboard. This will complete the circuit and allow the sound generated by the NE556 IC to be heard through the speaker.

@ulfhenrich @Alfred

555 + 555 = 556
twice the square waves
twice the fun lol
