9.5 Circuit Explanation
In this circuit we connected the pins 4 and 8 to 5V (it is okay if we did not connect pin 4), we
connected pin 5 to a 100nF capacitor to remove the noise through it to GND if exists (it is okay if
we remove it), pin 1 to GND, pin 3 to a resistor then to the LED, to understand how this circuit
works,let us suppose that C1 is empty, so the voltage on pin 2 is almost zero, the led will light
up, when the output is high, pin 7 will be almost 5V on it so C1 will start to charge.
When the capacitor gets charged the voltage on pin 2 will be high, so the output will be zero, the
LED will turn OFF, and pin 7 will be 0V so the capacitor will discharge.
