Hi Everyone,
This is my first post, so firstly..
Hello!, My name is James, I'm from Birmingham, England. I'm a qualified domestic electrician but know very very little regarding circuitry type electrics.
I have been trying for about a week now to create a simple astable / square type timer circuit to control an LED.
I am getting no results from a 555 timer, I have tried swapping timers, resisiters, capacitors. I am getting no results.
The only thing I can see that might differ to any of the tutorials is the supply. I am using a 9v DC battery, but no tutorial I have read, as really specified the input.
I'm sorry everyone for being a bit of a noob here, can anybody help? As I'm seriously ready to throw in the towel!!
Thanks again!!
James
