Today we debugged our circuit. Remember that positive trajectory of we were moving on? Completely derailed. We are deep in the weeds trying to understand the 555 Timer. The oscilloscope does not have a sinusoidal or square-wave or any wave besides a DC offset voltage line. This is a problem. The Timer basically creates a function. We took our timer out of the circuit, and tried with new resistors to wire it up completely, to see if a signal would be produced, and then time was over for the day! 

We plan to work on it tomorrow during our 3 hours of lab time.  Our next steps include deciding to either rebuild the TV jammer circuit or to build a timer circuit and then adjust our current TV jammer circuit.
