Default Re: Turntable Stroboscope

It's diffiicult to be sure, even in the enhanced photo of the breadboard below, but the oscillator components don't seem to be connected as per the circuit?

The resistor from pin 11 doesn't appear connected at the left hand end ?

The crystal appears to be connected across the trimmer ?

One end of the cap isn't connected at all?

As for the overheating - the +ve and -ve rails are connected to the opposite labelled busbars. - Not a problem unless you connect the battery as per the labels. That would likely get the chip hot!
