To mark the recent passing of Hans Camenzind, we are running a 555 mini-retrospective this week. Today I’ve rounded up some of my personal favorite 555 content from our archives, arranged in arbitrary top 10 order. Many of these are “fun” or “meta” 555 type posts. We’ll be following on later in the week with more circuit-specific 555 coverage. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please feel free to chime in with suggestions or comments about your own experiences with the 555.

Well, I’m biased, but my favorite 555 project is still the Dish-O-Tron 6000. :)
