Hey guys!
I'm totally new to electronics. I'm working on a little invention but I need help with my schematic drawing and getting this thing working right.
Is my drawing below correct? My transistor heats up so hot that it burnt my finger when i touched it! I've got to be doing something wrong. My transistor is just a simple one from radio shack. Do you think i'm putting to many volts through it or is the fast on-off (more like pulsing) causing it to over heat? What do i need to do?
Thanks for the help!
