Windell, is there any other means of support for the 555 timer?  other then this forum.  If so please let me know.

You might not believe me but I did fix something, not sure what but I did manage to get a led to light.  My only problem is I can’t get the LED to flash.. does anyone have a suggestion on how to trouble shoot this issue.  Thank You in advance.

Windell, thanks for the reply.  can you please tell me if I should be looking at the Schematic Diagram to get the answers that I am looking for as far as trouble shooting my problems.  when you say read the documentation can you be a little more specific. There is a lot of information to support your kit.  But as a novice all this information is a bit over whelming right now. Thank You in advance.

I need help,  it’s been about a week and I still can’t get my 555 to work,  I am unable to get the simple LED blinker to work.  Does anyone know of any means to troubleshoot the board.  I am looking for values at certain points on the board that I can test with my multimeeter. I did  have some trouble with a few leads not letting the solder adhere. So I have no way of knowing if I am doing something wrong in setting up the LED blinker, or did I do something wrong building the kit.  Thank you in advance
