Seems like he really needs to get a book, or read up on basic electronics
online. It would be beneficial to have the slightest clue how each of the

Little is learned through such extensive handholding.

No ****. I was the first respondent to this guy, and the only thing I
told him was to get a book. It was clear from the outset that he hadn't
a speck of basic knowledge and no interest in obtaining any. Arfa's
patience is exemplary but sometimes misguided, I think. OK, so the
circuit works now, but the OP isn't one step closer to understanding
anything about how or why it works.
