So I've connected an NE555 timer to an LM386 amplifier, attempting to maybe perhaps get a 'squarewave' buzz... I'm using about 5.5 volts from a battery pack, and made sure all the connections are working. Hooking it up to a small 8 ohm speaker, nothing's coming out.
I'm thinking it's probably the gain; I don't think i have the right size capacitor, and i've tried googling equations for the amplifier gain to connect the capacitor and resistor (even just throwing a single capacitor and putting the gain to 200 doesn't do much).
This is my first time actually doing and electronics project, so basically I have no idea what i'm doing..... well, some idea, but yeah lol.....
