• Two NE555 timers (IC1(A) and IC1(B)), which are configured in monostable mode,
• A CD4011 quad 2-input NAND gate IC (IC2),
• Transistors (BC547),
• Diodes (1N4148),
• Resistors,
• Capacitors, and
• Two LEDs (LED1 and LED2) that indicate positive and negative charge detection.

1. Detection Plates: There are two detection plates, one for detecting negative charge and one for detecting positive charge. When a charged object approaches one of the plates, it changes the voltage on the base of the corresponding transistor (T1 or T2), which has a diode and resistor connected to it for protection and biasing.
2. NAND Gates (IC2): The CD4011 IC provides the NAND gate functions. The outputs of these gates (N1, N2, N3, and N4) drive the 556 timer triggers and are configured to form a sort of latch that triggers the corresponding 555 timer in the 556 package when a charge is detected.
3. Monostable 555 Timers (IC1(A) and IC1(B)): These are configured to produce a single output pulse when triggered. The length of the pulse is determined by the resistor-capacitor (RC) time constant connected to each timer (R3C3 for IC1(A) and R10C5 for IC1(B)). When a timer is triggered by its corresponding NAND gate, it outputs a pulse to drive a transistor that turns on the corresponding LED.
4. LED Indicators: LED1 lights up when a positive charge is detected, and LED2 lights up when a negative charge is detected. These are driven by transistors T3 and T4, respectively, which are turned on by the output of the 555 timers.
5. Power Supply: The circuit operates at 6V, which can be provided by a battery or a regulated power supply.

• Kompaktheit: Da der 556 zwei 555 Timer in einem Gehäuse enthält, kann er dazu beitragen, die Größe der Schaltung zu verringern und Sie benötigen weniger externe Verbindungen, was zu einer einfacheren und saubereren Konstruktion führt.
• Stromversorgung: Beide Timer teilen sich eine gemeinsame Stromversorgung, was die Anzahl der benötigten Stromanschlüsse minimiert.
• Gemeinsame Steuerungslogik: In Ihrer Schaltung sind IC1(A) und IC1(B) mit anderen Komponenten wie NAND-Gattern und Transistoren verbunden, die als Schnittstellen für die Erkennung positiver und negativer Ladungen fungieren. Durch die Verwendung eines einzigen ICs können Sie die Steuerlogik vereinfachen und die Interaktion zwischen den Timern optimieren.

1. Remove the LEDs and associated components:
   • Remove LED1, LED2, and their current-limiting resistors (R7 for LED1 and R4 for LED2). You can also remove the transistors T3 and T4 used to drive the LEDs if you no longer need them, as microcontrollers typically have high-impedance inputs that do not require such drivers.
2. Add a pull-up or pull-down resistor:
   • Depending on your microcontroller's logic levels and the existing configuration of your circuit, add a pull-up or pull-down resistor to ensure that the output is at a known voltage level when the 555 timers are not outputting a high signal. Choose a resistor value that works well with your microcontroller's input pin specifications (10 kΩ is a common choice).
3. Direct connection from the 555 timers:
   • Once you've removed the unnecessary components, you can directly connect the output pins of the 555 timers (Pin 5 for IC1(A) and Pin 9 for IC1(B)) to the microcontroller input pins. These outputs will go high (approximately Vcc, which should be within 0-5V if your circuit power supply is 5V) when the timers are triggered.
4. Level shift (optional):
   • If your circuit is using a 6V power supply as shown in the original schematic, and your microcontroller operates at 5V logic levels, you will need to level shift the output from the 555 timers down to 5V to protect the microcontroller inputs. This can be done using a voltage divider or a level-shifting IC.

• For each output you'd like to level shift (let's call them OUT_POSITIVE and OUT_NEGATIVE), calculate the resistor values for a voltage divider that drops the output from 6V down to 5V. Using the formula:
  $$V_{out} = V_{in} \times \left(\frac{R2}{R1 + R2}\right)$$
  Let's assume R1 is 10 kΩ, and we want to find R2 to create 5V out from 6V in:
  $$5V = 6V \times \left(\frac{R2}{10kΩ + R2}\right)$$
  Solve for R2:
  $$R2 = \frac{5V}{6V} \times 10kΩ \times \left(\frac{6V}{6V - 5V}\right) = 50kΩ$$
  However, note that this specific value of R2 (50kΩ) would not give an exact 5V output due to R1, you might need to pick the closest standard resistor value or adjust R1 and R2 to get a precise 5V.
• Connect the top of R1 to the output of the 555 timer, the bottom of R1 to the top of R2, and the bottom of R2 to the ground. Connect the junction between R1 and R2 to your microcontroller input pin.

• 555 timer (IC1): Force the output to a low state and disable the timing operation no matter the stage of the waveform. The 555 timer does not have an explicit reset pin shown in this diagram, but it can be reset by pulling the RESET pin (not labeled here) to GND. The absence of a reset pin in the schematic suggests it is either tied to Vcc (so it's not resettable), or it's simply not depicted, and the RESET function might need to be added if necessary.
• CD4011 IC (IC2): Reset will clear any logic that might be set due to noise or power fluctuations that could cause the gate outputs to be in an unpredictable state. For CD4011, which is a quad 2-input NAND gate, a reset function would typically be implemented by adding another gate to clear the states or by using a specific input combination that sets the system into a clear state.

• Power-On Reset: Add a circuit that generates a reset pulse when power is first applied to ensure all the integrated circuits start in a known state.
• Manual Reset: If you want manual control over the reset function, adding a normally open push-button switch connected to the reset line would allow the user to manually reset the system.
