Can someone help me with this electronic project that im trying to build?
I have tried everything with this circuit and nothing works. i know that the transistor isnt burnt out because i just tested it and it gives me a reading.
I will try to explain everything by words. I have one of the pins from the p2 plug connected to the collector of the tip31. i have the other big pin of the p2 connected to the negative terminal of the battery.The base of the transistor is connected to the cathode of the led. The emitter pin of the transistor is connected to the anode of the led. The source of power is a nine volt battery. I have 3 blue leds in parallel that need 3v each. I put 2 47 ohm resistors before the anode of the led. I also put a 845 ohm resistor before each pin of the transistor. When i plug the battery in the leds turn on but they do not flash. Whenever i disconnect the transistor from the circuit the leds turn off so this must mean that the transistor has not been burned out. I am using a small mp3 player to listen to the music but nothing is happening. Can someone draw me a better diagram or explain to me exactly what parts i need to put where. I will give ten points to the person that helps me solve my problem.
