Okay this is my first post here and I am not looking for help with homework (I read a lot before registering and posting) and I am trying to build a simple dual circuit with a 556 (I read that it is a dual timer chip) and I want circuit one to be on for ~2 seconds and off for ~5 seconds, which I want to use as the trigger for the second circuit which will operate at a 50% duty cycle at ~.5Hz ,
I have read and understand the need for the diode on r2 to acheive a longer off time than on time and understand the second circuit and should not have a problem with the values for that one.
I am hoping that someone can help me with the R1, R2 and c1 values to acheive the desired results so I can trigger the second timer circuit.
Hope I explained what I am looking for and hapoefully someone can help.
