    Clean square waves using a 555 timer?

    The standard 555 has bad shoothrough problem. Try the CMOS version. http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/lmc555.pdf You will not need R1

    Running high current electric solenoid using a H-bridge

    Depending on the application (?) a linear actuator may be a better idea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    Choose Software or Hardware in electronics ??

    That is pretty much unavoidable these days. The software can do things and in a more flexible way than straight hardware, but the software needs hardware to run.

    diy metal detector

    Fisher gold bug, Quite good cheap to run.(Batteries) Minelab supposedly the best Have not used one. Building your own ?? Google pieter heydelaar

    Killing SSR (relays) - Need to understand

    Inrush at switch on may be a problem. Make your own SSR using a zero crossing driver.

    Presettable counters

    Better CD4522 or similar also see CD4527

    Presettable counters

    Is there a question?

    vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) help

    AC . measure between the pins

    JFETs as a current source and a question.

    The left transistor requires a resistor too. Not 10 AND 100, 10 to 100.

    JFETs as a current source and a question.

    Put a degeneration resistor between the emitters and ground.10 to 100Ω should be enough depending on the match

    MOSFETs shooting through in H-bridge: damage at gate-source driving circuits

    Show circuit, there are drivers that take this in to account

    CD 4047 inverter

    Heat the core in an oven. They come apart easily Cut the winding off first
