the schematics are right, but i'm not getting anything! yeah, this is my first project and i messed up a lot of times but the last few, i've gained a little more insight as to how it works and i'm still not getting my leds to flash OR even light up. i was thinking maybe i either wore out the protoboard (i used oversized hookup wire the first few times then downgraded to something smaller that fit into the slots better) or that my components are incorrect, or i fried something, even though i replaced the capacitor, pentometer, and 555 twice.
i'll try to post some pics of the project later.
