ok so becausei just assumed what the guy at the electric store gave me was a 130k res. turned out to just be 130ohms. so i replaced the 130ohm resistor with 120k. So the timer is working now, but the values of something have to be wrong. The timer is working but with wrong timing, like Q4 which should be at 16 seconds is only at about 1/4 of a second, Q5 which should be 32 seconds is about 1/2 a second and so on.
i swapped out the 120k ohm resistor at the Vcc of the 555 Chip with a 480k, most time i can get with that is about 7 minutes on Q14. I need get to around 15 minutes. Should i just keep increasing the resistance?
BTW im not an electrician, i know some basics though and catch on quick... this timer chip thing is definately new to me and having fun... pretty fun working with chips like this!!! thanks again for the help people...
