hi,
i solved the problem. the problem was caused by a wrongly connected pin. the circuit works fine now. however, it seems to work even without pulsing the switch. this seems weird. by the way i'm running the whole thing on a 6 V dc power supply. any simple ideas on how i can reduce it to 5? i tried biasing with a 2k and a 10k resistor but it doesn't work
