The LM358 is too slow to get enough of a pulse thru the capacitor to trigger th e 555.

I had a similar problem recently when trying to trigger a 4017 counter IC thru a capacitor. I switched to a TL082 (faster and available locally) op-amp a nd this fixed it. A comparator is even faster and swings farther, though. If you want to use an op-amp, look for a high slew rate and a rail-to-rail output. Reply With Quote
