555 LED Flasher >Here is how to assemble a flashing led on a breadboard. This is a good thing for getting used to breadboards and assembling circuits and all that stuff.

	1     > Find some space for your breadboard. Put it horizontally with the red stripe (if you have one) at the top. (unlike this picture) > This is the circuit were gonna build

	2     > Insert the LM555 with pin 1 to the right. Pin 1 is the pin with the dot beside it.

	3     > Insert wire from pin 1 to ground.

	4     > Insert wire from pin 8 to positive

	5     > Insert wire from pin 2 to pin 6.

	6     > Insert wire from pin 4 to pin 8.

	7     > Insert a 1k resistor between pins 7 and 8, this is a 20 ohm resistor, oops...

	8     > Insert a 68K resistor between pins 6 and 7.

	9     > Insert the 10uF capacitor between pins 1 and 2, make sure the - side is on pin 1.

	10     > Insert a 1K resistor from pin3 rightwards, this one is 470 ohms, oops...

	11     > Insert the LED with the negitive side on the resistor. > You can usually tell the polarity by what I call 'Anvil' (negitive side, 'cathode') and 'Post' (positive side, 'anode'), in this pic, you can see the anvil on the left and the post on the right.

	12     > Insert wire from the anode of the led to positive. Then Apply power (You can use a 9V battery) and watch it flash, remember, Red is positive, Black is negitive (in this case blue)
