Frustrated

Just stick to the link I gave you for Talking Electronics as it will give you animated examples in some cases.
Forget these other foreign videos.
They'll more often than not get you in a tangle.

While you are at it, another word of warning.
Don't take too much from Instructables as being gospel either.

Many foreign electronics YouTube videos and websites "over there" have many errors.
Some Instructables confess that they are made by a 10 years old kid who knows nothing about electronics.

It's all good. A lesson for me. Read everything twice and listen carefully.

Some prefer to be known as professionals....... ex-spurt is a drip forced out of a tap under pressure.

Hello,

Have a look at this thread of the AAC.
It contains a lot of information on leds, 555 and more.

You will have to register to the site to see the attachements, like over here.
The username SparkyCal is still free over there.
