Hey all,
This is my first post here. I've just begun my adventure into electronics and I'm still working on the basics. For now I'm working with just understanding the basics of circuits, such as resistors, caps, pots, breadboard, icus, etc..
After finding a 555 timer info page, I started trying to design a circuit based on their diagram:
My biggest difficulty is understanding how this translates to a breadboard.
What does the extra line wrapping back into the middle of the 250k pot mean?
What exactly is it saying about pins 1, 2 & 6?
I assume pin 1 goes to ground. But is that some how linked back to pins 2&6? Or is it simply saying, link pins 2&6 and then run that into the positive side of a 22uf resistor that has it's negative side linked to ground?
How can I better understand how to read a circuit diagram and than build it on a breadboard?
Sorry for what must be a horribly simple beginners question. But I haven't found much resources on the actual translation.
Thanks.
