hi there everyone thanks 4 the reply
the "triangle" on pin 11 is mean to represent a soldiering pin
Eric ,, i am fairly certain that the transistors r the right way round even if I had to program* the BC547 into the program *shape & pinouts* (see upload)
The resistors & diodes show a band on then ,, I know this is the wrong way round its what the program (veecad) "does" found out the hard way when nothing worked to begin with, thats why they have red bands now.
Can u tell me why the use of a 47K pull down resistor at the base of the BC547 is it that help with the triggering
cheers
Steve
