guys, i really need help..
What seams to be simple to others, I cannot get my head around schematics..

I am very good at soldering etc, and can reliably use multi-meters, esr meters etc, i just cannot read schematics!

please please please, could someone please simplify this down for me?

i have ordered the 555 timers in sockets, but really dont know how to read the schematics as to what to do..

thanks

What specifically do you need help with? Do you know what the components are? Do you know which pins/leads on the components relate to their schematic counterparts? Are you building on Strip-board? Breadboard? PCB?

My general advice for simplifying this, without more information, is to split it into 3 sections:

The first 555 (Carrier signal generator).
The second 555 (Modulation signal generator).
Everything after (Output section).

This method allows you to build section 1 of the circuit, and test it, confirm it is functioning, before moving on. This always improves my confidence in my build, and my knowledge of the circuit.

If you understand what your signal should look like at the key parts throughout the circuit, fault finding is much more rewarding. You could easily simulate this circuit in SPICE.

Good luck!

its not the symbols i have an issue with, i know those, and know what components are.. capacitors, resistors, etc etc..
I just dont know how to follow a schematic

Like for instance.. there are lines that connect with a black circle, i dont know what that means.

i will be building it on a breadboard mate

cheers
