problems with NE556

I have a problem with the NE556 chip. I recently bought it and wanted to try it out using a circuit made for NE555 but adapted to the NE556 pins. When I turned it on it didn't work although everything was fine, does anyone know if both timers need to be used on NE556? Thank you in advance	by Lionsio August 30, 2024

you might try pulling to ground or pulling up to vcc via a 1k resistor, ALL UNUSED INPUTS of the timer not used	+1 vote by lectrick September 01, 2024
