Thanks for the help.
Indeed I admit I am very lazy with my equipment - yes ive gone through a fair few leds... and the connections are an issue with just twisting wire together.
I dont have a multimetre, im just debugging off my leds.
If the capacitor was discharged then id be able to put more...
If you notice in the video, I actually connect the wire and the reverse polarity led lights up, its when its solidly connected it doesnt seem to want to go down it. (even when i disconnect from battery straight away!)
Its only a 14cm of nichrome wire ( looked it up ->1.50 × 10^−6 Ωm ) , its...
Im new too, just arrived today!
Hi Steve, im a roboman myself. But I cant even get my oscillator to work yet, maybe ull be able to help me out some day. Nice to hear from you.
the double diodes are led's.
the cap in this circuit has effectively its legs touching, but its not discharging!
this cant possibly be the case, but it has been this way for a long time with a lot of tests!
Can I get some advice on this?
