Lab 4 (Week 13) NE-555 Timer, R-C Circuits, and Oscilloscope

Due to the switch to online teaching, we are moving remaining labs to LTSpice simulation.
Lab sections will be converted to a TA office hour where you can work on the simulation and
ask any questions, though you do not have to attend if you get the simulation working on
your own. Please follow through the LTSpice Tutorial, and build the 555 circuit using LTSpice
and generate a transient simulation in lieu of the oscilloscope trace for your report.
