Testing the TK Tar Baby

Well, I think that Rosemary is in over her head when it comes to using a 555.  It's yet another bone to throw into the Bitches Brew.

MileHigh.  I was enjoying the exceptional professionalism that is a new characteristic of this thread.  Are you trying to regress this back to the 'gossip' columns that you enjoy?  Related as it is to allegation, insinuation and general malignment of both my name and our work?  If you guys want an uninterrupted discussion - then I recommend that you keep 'on topic'.

Rosemary,

So how did you deal with the need for a negative voltage at the source of Q2/gate of Q1 when you performed tests with your circuit using the 555?

Rosemary:

Do you have a plan or a circuit for having a 555 support both the positive and negative oscillation modes?  Or are you listening here to try to learn how to do it?

MileHigh - it is well past my competence to put a 555 switch together.  I have never done this.  Nor could I.  I am learning NOTHING except for the way you guys tackle a problem.  It's circuitous but interesting.  And I'm reasonably certain that you'll eventually get the point.  And picowatt - I would not disclose how the guys put the circuit together - even if I could.  It's not my circuit. 

Regards,
Rosemary
