Using 555 Timers to Make a Magic Potions Rack

Inspired by a trip to a magical shop, Andy decided to make his potions more magical using electronics! He found two 555 timer circuits in an old reference book. These are combined to produce a signal with varying frequency and pulse width, to drive various effects like swirling the potion liquid and causing it to glow https://bit.ly/3zfXgaf
