After a longer break, I'm getting back into electroniX, once again making use of the 555 timer IC (integrated circuit), with the intention to further my philosophical inquiries across time and, as of yet, Gothic Materialism through anti-praxis. For more convienent power supply, I've soldered jumper wires to a spare USB cable, which fires the breadboard with 5V, sufficient for smaller test circuits like this one.
The 555 apparently runs free[1] in a/stable mode, transformed into a multivibrator for a generation of switching pulses, haunted by the oscillation of spectres between high and low. Pulse width modulation (PWM) is the control system of the operative, enabled through rewiring and its postmodern operatic technique (POT), which oddly enough, remains invisible to the human eye,[2] although the material condition of the world has dramatically changed. Duty cycle and frequency of the PWM signal determine the vibe, however, if the signal stays 100% HIGH and frequency is omitted [measured in hertz(Hz)] the modern duty cycle is never completed, giving rise to the banal, thus evil, posthuman flatline construct of a stagnant light emitting diode.
I am well prepared for the morrow, and looking forward with glee to build up on, and visualize aquired knowledge as previously accomplished with state-of-the-art radar technologies.
