"""
Calculate the frequency and/or duty cycle of an astable 555 timer.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_timer_IC#Astable
These functions take in the value of the external resistances (in ohms)
and capacitance (in Microfarad), and calculates the following:
-------------------------------------
| Freq = 1.44 /[( R1+ 2 x R2) x C1] | ... in Hz
-------------------------------------
where Freq is the frequency,
R1 is the first resistance in ohms,
R2 is the second resistance in ohms,
C1 is the capacitance in Microfarads.
------------------------------------------------
| Duty Cycle = (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2 x R2) x 100 | ... in %
------------------------------------------------
where R1 is the first resistance in ohms,
R2 is the second resistance in ohms.
