Metronome Circuit
A Metronome is a device used in the music industry to indicate the rhythm by a 'toc-toc' sound.
Overview
This circuit uses the 555 timer in an
Astable operating mode and generates a continuous output via Pin 3 in the form of a square wave. This is then passed through the 22µF electrolytic capacitor to create a smooth oscillation which then creates the 'toc-toc' sound. The speed of the output is controlled by the 250K Potentiometer (VR1).
