thanks for that wookie
ok, i ordered all the 68 ohm resistors because that was the amount of resistance i need for my high brightness led if they being subjected to 5v +.
Again, the wiring i have for the 555 timer does work :
pin 1 : ground
pin 2 : timing capacitor to ground, also tied to pin 6
pin 3 : output
pin 4 : tied to pin 8 (vcc)
pin 5 : voltage input, but brought to ground with cap if unused
pin 6 : Resistor 2 to pin 7
pin 7 : resistor 1 to pin 8
pin 8 : vcc
thats what I have been using for over a year and it never failed me!
Interested to hear from your perspective what is gone wrong in this configuration.
Again, thanks for all the info.
Best,
M
