I found a circuit in my electronics book for makeing a dc pulse generator based on an NE555. The circuit includes a pot for adjusting the frequency. I am going to use this simple generator for driving an ignition coil which power a Tesla coil. im wondering if I could build this circuit and then after the generator, before the coil, place a voltage divider where on of the resistors is a pot for adjusting the voltage, and then another pot in series with this output the make a square wave generator with adjustable voltage, frequency, and current.
