555 timers have so many uses in hobbyist projects, they just count time pass to give you very accurate time delays. The output oscillates from LOW to HIGH with variable speed depending on the inputs you feed it.

PinNamePurpose
1 GND Ground reference voltage, low level (0 V)
2 TRIG The OUT pin goes high and a timing interval starts when this input falls below 1/2 of CTRL voltage (which is typically 1/3 of VCC, when CTRL is open).
3 OUT This output is driven to approximately 1.7 V below +VCC or GND.
4 RESET A timing interval may be reset by driving this input to GND, but the timing does not begin again until RESET rises above approximately 0.7 volts. Overrides TRIG which overrides THR.
5 CONT Provides "control" access to the internal voltage divider (by default, 2/3 VCC).
6 THRES The timing (OUT high) interval ends when the voltage at THR is greater than that at CTRL (2/3 VCC if CTRL is open).
7 DISCH Open collector output which may discharge a capacitor between intervals. In phase with output.
8 VCC Positive supply voltage, which is usually between 3 and 15 V depending on the variation.
