I am new to working on 555 timer. I am running it in monostable mode. I am triggering it using a button on trigger pin. It works just fine. What I want is the LED connected to the out pin 3 to switch off when I press the trigger button again. If I don't press the button, LED will switch off after the specified time duration by the RC circuit. Is it possible? Thanks in advance. :)
You can try this.
I haven't bread boarded this but it works in simulation.

I worked up a sim of the idea I mentioned in Post#11.

First push under .3 second starts timer.
Second push .5 second or longer stops timer.

I also did not breadboard the circuit, and I used the ideal 555 model, so that may affect results, but circuit requires only passives.

you will see my id on my circuit. renamed it and battery is also named as my id
I used the simulator link you sent me and corrected the schematic as needed. Set R1 at 100K.... C3 at 5uf.....C1 at 1uf....R3 at 100K.
LED turns on with switch and shuts off after several seconds. That's working correctly.
When the switch is pushed a second time the LED shuts off but comes right back on when the switch is released.
That is not what's happening in the actual circuit. The simulator is not accurate in this detail.
When the switch is pressed a second time the voltages on the RST and TRI pins during simulation are correct but the output is not responding correctly on the simulator.

Okay. Thanks for your help :) I am sure it will work if I try it on breadboard. I will try that soon. Did you use the same MOSFETs used in the circuit i.e 2n7000G ? I got the changes that you told me but please post a screenshot of the design as the changes that you made doesn't show on the simulator on my end. I should probably try it on LTSPICE as well. :) But thanks anyway for your efforts. I appreciate that. :)
