Example 1: Basic Pulse Generation with Arduino

In this example, we will use the NE555 module to generate a pulse signal with an adjustable frequency and duty cycle using an Arduino board.

Code:
```c
const int outPin = 9;  // Output pin connected to NE555 OUT
const int freqPin = A0;  // Frequency adjustment pin connected to NE555 FREQ
const int dutyPin = A1;  // Duty cycle adjustment pin connected to NE555 DUTY

void setup() {
  pinMode(outPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int freqValue = analogRead(freqPin);  // Read frequency adjustment potentiometer value
  int dutyValue = analogRead(dutyPin);  // Read duty cycle adjustment potentiometer value
  
  // Map frequency value to 50Hz to 200kHz range
  float frequency = map(freqValue, 0, 1023, 50, 200000);
  
  // Map duty cycle value to 0% to 100% range
  float dutyCycle = map(dutyValue, 0, 1023, 0, 100);
  
  // Generate pulse signal with calculated frequency and duty cycle
  tone(outPin, frequency, dutyCycle);
  delay(20);  // Update output every 20ms
}
```
Example 2: Adjustable LED Dimming with Raspberry Pi

In this example, we will use the NE555 module to control the brightness of an LED with an adjustable duty cycle using a Raspberry Pi.

Code:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
outPin = 18  # Output pin connected to NE555 OUT
dutyPin = 23  # Duty cycle adjustment pin connected to NE555 DUTY

GPIO.setup(outPin, GPIO.OUT)

while True:
    dutyValue = GPIO.input(dutyPin)  # Read duty cycle adjustment pin value
    dutyCycle = dutyValue  10  # Map duty cycle value to 0% to 100% range
    
    # Generate PWM signal with calculated duty cycle
    GPIO.output(outPin, GPIO.HIGH)
    time.sleep(dutyCycle / 1000)
    GPIO.output(outPin, GPIO.LOW)
    time.sleep((100 - dutyCycle) / 1000)
```
Example 3: Motor Speed Control with ESP8266

In this example, we will use the NE555 module to control the speed of a DC motor with an adjustable frequency and duty cycle using an ESP8266 board.

Code:
```c
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const int outPin = 5;  // Output pin connected to NE555 OUT
const int freqPin = A0;  // Frequency adjustment pin connected to NE555 FREQ
const int dutyPin = A1;  // Duty cycle adjustment pin connected to NE555 DUTY

void setup() {
  pinMode(outPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int freqValue = analogRead(freqPin);  // Read frequency adjustment potentiometer value
  int dutyValue = analogRead(dutyPin);  // Read duty cycle adjustment potentiometer value
  
  // Map frequency value to 50Hz to 200kHz range
  float frequency = map(freqValue, 0, 1023, 50, 200000);
  
  // Map duty cycle value to 0% to 100% range
  float dutyCycle = map(dutyValue, 0, 1023, 0, 100);
  
  // Generate PWM signal with calculated frequency and duty cycle
  digitalWrite(outPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(frequency / (dutyCycle / 100));
  digitalWrite(outPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(frequency / ((100 - dutyCycle) / 100));
}
```
These examples demonstrate the versatility of the NE555 Pulse Frequency Duty Cycle Adjustable Module in various applications. By adjusting the frequency and duty cycle, you can control the output signal to suit your project requirements.
