I plugged everything into the online simulator to see what kind of power usage I should expect - for how long the 9v battery will last. Not sure what to make of the simulator and how it figures things. When I put the 10uF capacitor in the circuit the amperage goes from 406 uA to 36A. Yes, that is a full 36 amps. I cannot see how that is the case, but it sure made me scratch my head.
Obviously it is not calculating right because I should be using more than half a mA in lighting up those 3 seven segment LED's.
Interesting none the less.
