Thanks for all the reply guys, much appreciated! I know I need an oscillosope, It's just that I can't afford one as a student. Saving for one for a while now.. I'm gonna test it tomorrow with a friend's sope and tell you how it goes.
As for the components, they are not from a kit. I bought them separately from ebay. I don't know the current for the inductor (asked the guy, he only knew the wattage - 1W). It was this one here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330452969986 And the diodes are (I hope UF4004, at least I hope), these here http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330553568765 Hopefully I will test 555s tomorrow and let you know, gotta go now Thanks again!
