Hi Folks. Although a lifelong tinkerer, and long ago student of complex algebra as it relates to electronics, I have only just built my first circuit. It uses a 555 in an astable configuration. It is designed to produced a 10Hz evenly balanced square wave.
It works, but, according to my PC based Oscilloscope, produces a wave which i far from square.
Can anyone explain why? Is it me, or the chip.
R1 - 10K, R2 20K, C1 3.3uF, C ~100nF

Any help greatly appreciated.
