Electrical – 555 Timer Monostable Circuit Triggered When Circuit is Powerd

1) Your LED current limiting resistors should be 300 ohms instead of 330k ohms.

2) DIS should be connected to THR, not to TRG.

3) VS1 should be a voltmeter, not a voltage source.

4) The connection to the junction of R4 and C1 should be made at the dot.

5) There needs to be 0.1µF between U1 pins 1 and 8. (Real World)

6) Why is the battery a MOSFET?

You can't use the main timing resistor and capacitor to generate your trigger signal. As you discovered, this is exactly equivalent to the astable configuration.

Instead, you need to provide a separate resistor (to Vcc) and capacitor (to ground) for the Trigger pin. The time constant for this pair should be short relative to the main timing period, but long relative to the risetime of the power supply.

These components will hold the trigger low while the chip powers up, but then allow it to go high a short time later. Once the timer has timed out, the main timing capacitor will be discharged, but the trigger capacitor will not.
