Sure thing... thanks for your help...Hello,
Can you use some more contrast in the colors?

Sorry for the lack of response, I have been a bit occupied with other things and not had a chance to check back yet.It would be really, really nice to know if you made the changes I suggested... if you placed the diode and changed C1's value...
did it work?
Hey... no worries... I was just curious (and impatient) that's allSorry for the lack of response, I have been a bit occupied with other things and not had a chance to check back yet.
Unfortunately I do not have 9v available in my application, which is why I was using the circuit suggested by #12 since it should work on the 5v I do have, but please do not think that I haven't appreciated your efforts because that is not the case at all.
I will build the one you simulated, including the additional changes and compare the functionality.
So I have finally got round to testing this, and it works perfectly, thank you!Hey... no worries... I was just curious (and impatient) that's all
Anyway, I just checked and it seems that 5V ought to make things work with modern 555s, so just adding the diode I told you about should be able to fix things up, you don't need to change your circuit or build another one... let me know how it went
It's nice to see things working in the real world, other than a simulator. I suppose you also had to change the value of C1 as well to get the frequency you wanted, right?So I have finally got round to testing this, and it works perfectly, thank you!
Yes, like with the previous issue I had, the real-world circuit showed the true importance of having a capacitor between Vcc and GND of the 555 timer.It's nice to see things working in the real world, other than a simulator.
