/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I come to you guys to beg like a little bitch. I have built the fucking sine wave circuit five times now and each time it spits out a square wave and flashes an LED instead of fading it in and out. At one point I got it to fade up, but not down. I don't want to use the Fading LED circuits right now because I wanna do it with as few parts as possible. Every goddamn time I try the transistor method, it just flashes instead of fading.

Can any blessed anon help a poor soul like me? I just want to build a sine or triangle generator with a 555 timer and a few resistors and capacitors.

I have read shit all over the place and I keep finding people who say "Oh just order this obscure IC and save yourself the trouble." Fuck that. I just wanna shave a square wave.

Thank you guys in advance.
