Pin 5 is used to control the threshold voltage. But in our case (Square Wave generation using a Monostable Multivibrator) we do not use this. Hence, Pin 5 is connected to GND. We use a 0.1uF capacitor to filter out the noise that could propagate into pin 5. For a detailed explanation of the circuit: https://github.com/jonathanrjpereira/555-Timer-1sec-to-100sec#working |
