Breadboard layout: Please let me know if there are any mistakes A.S.A.P., this circuit is big so there is plenty of room for it. I want to keep my layouts up to date and ready for improvement.

Hi Justin,
How did you access the components from admin so that they could be placed on your virtual breadboard?

Hi Justin,
My computer skills are zilch. When I try and open or save this my computer tells me I can't because it doesn't recognise the program it derives from or words to that effect. The images appear in admins thread but they are static and I can't find a way to manipulate them. Doh!!
Homer could do better.
Any idea how I can get these to work?

Hey Justin,
I am not sure if you are still interested in learning what is wrong with your breadboard layout, but just in case, and for those still following this thread, here is what I have found wrong with it.
1. The 4.7K resistor connected to Pin 3 is inserted wrong. It should be turned horizontal so that each end of the resistor is at 2 different contact points.
2. You have you pins on the transistors setup backwards. The left pin is the collector, middle is base, and right is the emitter. Look over the schematic once more and you will see that the emitter and 10K resistor is connected to the BASE of each transistor to the right of it, not the collector, as you have it connected now. Then the collector is connected to the LEDS and 330 or 390 resistor to the positive rail. The way you have it laid out will only make the LEDS light all together and stay on.
3. I would also recommend grounding Pin 5 with a .01uF ceramic disk capacitor. This will help smooth out the voltage. Made mine work better anyways.
Hope someone finds this helpful. Thanks for the breadboard layout. It helped me complete this circuit.

1. Thanks, I noticed this a long time ago but never got around to fixing it. I'll update that post, or make a new post, later.
2. No, look at the diagram I've made. I placed them incorrectly but noticed that I put letters above the specific pin so the person can still tell which is which. It may be misleading, but it's still correct.
3. Thanks for the tip, I'll take that into consideration.
