hi,
I am currently working on a challenging project, I have to to make 4 mechanisms launch balls, so I thought I could use the 555 timers to control the timing of the mechanisms, now the only problem is that the 555timer typical ouputs low for a certain period of time at the beginning, but I need to control the phase of the 555timer pulse wave, so, for instance the first 555timer has to go high right from the beginning, and then oscillate between t1 and t2 in astable mode, the second 555timer has to go low for some time ts and then oscillate between t1 and t2, well you get the idea, I though i could do something with the initial charge of the capacitor at but I don't really have any clue. please I need some advice
