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
components works. It's a very simple circuit, anyone with any interest in
electronics should soak up enough to be able to make it work on their
own.
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.

Give a man a fish...


Hi Smiddy, how goes it ? Well, gotta do ya bit, you know ? I guess we were
all electronically 'dumb' at one time. Hopefully, by giving the guy this one
fish supper, I'll have encouraged him to go out and buy a rod ...

I would like to think that he understands at least a bit about it now, and
at least he seems appreciative of the help he's received, unlike some on
here. Like the one that I took the trouble to send schematics to a couple of
weeks or so ago, who hasn't even had the courtesy to acknowledge the effort,
let alone offer any thanks ...

Misguided ? Yeah, I've been that all my life. That's why I've got me a GPS
now ... :-)
