Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone was able to help with a college question I have been stuck with for a while.
The aim is to get a square wave output with a duty cycle of as close to 50% as possible using a 555 timer chip. The need for this circuit is to send pulses at the output at intervals of 10ms and I think I have a circuit that could work but i'm a bit unsure for cetain.
The circuit used is similar to the one in this link:

I have R1 at 100 ohms and R2 at 15k ohms, with C being 1uF.
If supplying this circuit with a 10v supply am I right in thinking the output will be the current pulses I need at intervals of 10ms?
Thanks in advance,
Gammon.
