Variable Buck Converter

For my Electronics class, I took on a project of designing a buck converter, utilizing a 555 timer as the PWM signal. The expectation was that the output of the buck converter would be adjustable through the use of a variable potentiometer, in which the maximum output voltage would occur when the potentiometer is in its most resistive state and the minimum output voltage would occur in its least resistive state. The circuit that I designed utilizes a NE555 timer, a 100kOhm potentiometer, two...
