Noob here, am I missing something really obvious or is this 555 monostable circuit constantly going to be wasting current? Won't current constantly be flowing to ground through the discharge pin?
Wouldn't it make much more sense to use the output pin to charge the capacitor so that current is only flowing in that part of the circuit when the timer is actually activated?
