Tone generator using two 555 timers
This Tone generator circuit uses the well-known
555 integrated circuit to generate a range of
sounds that are heard through a small Follow Me
loudspeaker.
By handling the two potentiometers of the tone

generator, you can change the oscillation
frequencies of the two 555 timers that work as
astable multivibrators, thus generating different

Output of the first 555 (pin 3) is connected to the
control input of the second 555 (pin 5) through
Privacy
the resistor R3. The square wave voltage of the
output of the first 555 is applied to the pin 5 of
the second 555 and allows to vary the output
frequency of the second timer, up and down the
operating frequency set by the values of C2 and
VR2 .
In order to connect a speaker to the 555’s output,
an NPN transistor (Q1) is used as a current
amplifier. The connection is made by attaching
pin 3 of the second 555 to the base of the
transistor through the resistor R6.
The circuit uses a 9V battery or a power source

with the same voltage.
Many modifications can be made to this circuit,

and you should always bear in mind that for each
timer:
Increasing C will increase the cycle time

(and hence, reduce the frequency).
Increasing R1 will increase Time High, but
will leave Time Low unaffected.
Increasing R2 will increase Time High,
increase Time Low and decrease the duty
cycle (down to a minimum of 50%)
The oscillation frequency of the first timer is: F =

1 / [0.693 x C1 x (VR1 + 2 x R2)]
The oscillation frequency of the first timer is: F =

1 / [0.693 x C3 x (VR1 + 2 x R5)]
