OK, this is a very basic step I am taking, to test a larger circuit. Since my circuit wasn't working as expected, I stripped it down and started with just the transistor switch design.
I built this circuit, and I am getting a very very low current out of the emitter just downstream of the resistor. About 64uAmp (microAmp) instead of 35mAmp (milliAmp).
I can't figure out what's wrong, can someone please enlighten me? The transistor is a BC547 NPN.
