Changed components ,, and started labling components
Hello All !
Startting to flesh out this beast. Havn't labled the timing specific components for the 555s like r1, r2, r4, r5, c2, or c5 yet. They are going to be constantly switched in and out, till I get some experimental resaults.
I had a Transistor between pin 3 of IC1 and Pin 8 of IC2, I removed the transistor and directly coupled the output of IC1 into the reset pin of IC2 , pin 4. This is supposed to switch IC2 on and off.... crossing fingers. The low signal of IC1 is still being used to trigger IC3 high.
Changed the designation of Transistors from "T" to "Q", to be a bit more like everybody else.
Added an Opto coupler to teh output of IC3, conecting it to Q3 which should trigger Q4 and Q5 to open and dump C7. Note change from SCR to a pair of transistors. I'm thinking I'lll get better control of current flow ( timing ) this way.
I've added a diode between pins 1 and 2 of the opto coupler, but I don'tthink it should be there, and may actualy be a component insided the opto, wil have to research further.
Over all this should be easyer to read , and hopfuly make more sence then the original schematic.
Thankyou for your patience and input.
