<p>Yes yes, but my question was more along the lines of a cool
project idea for the chips I have. The chaos generator sounded
interesting: cross connect two (or more) 556s with attenuverters.
Maybe a drone generator with cv inputs. Guess I'll pick up the
Henry book at some point.</p>

there was the ICL8038 function generator (more useful) and the
XR2240 long range timer. The later inspired the Blacet DPG and
Binary Zone.

<div>Surely the XR2206 is a much more capable and
sophisticated chip.<br>

And it's available in very cheap entry level kits like this:<br>

<p>I used to lament the death of the 566 until I
realized you can take a processor with a built-in DAC
and pretty much do the same thing. Probably better in
fact. Sometimes letting go of the past can be hard.</p>

<blockquote>I vaguely remember, this -- a 10:1 range

them as more or less useless for EM. But chaos
might be a possibility.

<div>Also confused them with the 565 PLL and the
556 dual timer, which is four comparators and
two flip-flops in one package. Might be useful.<br>

I still have a few NE566s that I bought at Radio
Shack back in the day.<br>
<br>
Hmmmm... how about some sort of "chaos"
generator with multiple 566s <br>
cross modulating each other?<br>
