I'm after a beeper/beacon type circuit - where a tone of x Hz is emitted, for y sec, every z sec. I know I can do it with a trio of 555's, but I get the feeling there will be a more elegant way. I haven't really explored programmable ICs, and don't really have the time to learn at this stage....
Any ideas/approaches??
My thought was one 555 running astable (at freq z), which would trigger a 2nd 555 in monostable mode (duration y), which runs the tone gen (555 astable at freq x)...
