OK, this is starting to make sense.Well, am I using the wrong capacitors and resistors then? Or maybe my mentioned 900 hertz is wrong? Either case with that chip and those 2 parts I can only get 15 clicks per/s max.
Using 555 in astable mode:
10K Resistor
1K Resistor
4.7uF Capacitor
Yes those values are wrong. How did you determine them? Here's a calculator that will help you with that.Well, am I using the wrong capacitors and resistors then? Or maybe my mentioned 900 hertz is wrong? Either case with that chip and those 2 parts I can only get 15 clicks per/s max.

That should work OK. However I'd connect the bottom of the LED to ground instead of to the output because it's probably flashing too fast for the eye to pick up, so it will look like a continuous glow anyway. If you can see the flicker, it will just be annoying/distracting, IMHO.So this is the same schematic I made before, except this time I added an LED to the output, so if push-down button(mouse button) is pressed down, the circut runs, outputting that frequency and flashing that LED at the same speed, correct?
At least it let's you draw neat diagrams unlike some of the garbage that get's posted around here.Edit: found this online editor called circutlab, I have no idea how to use the simulation.
