Generate pwm using ic 555

From wikiluntti

Introduction

IC 555 is an astable oscillator (vibrator).

Frequency: The ON time is defined by the time taken to its capacitor to charge to 1/e level through pin7 resistor, and the OFF time is the discharging time of the capacitor through pin7.

Theory

Method 1

Method 2: with diodes
