Schematics are great. They are a universal standardized way to give a graphical representation of a circuit. But they can be difficult to translate to putting components down on a breadboard.
In this video we look at a simple 555 astable circuit. The schematic shows the connections, but doesn't really tell you how to lay it out. We set up this circuit in the simplest way possible, using only 1 capacitor, one potentiometer, and a few jumper wires.
