I am taking the output from pin 3, and the output voltage is pretty much maxed out at the voltages at the max voltage on pins 2 and 6, which is about ~3.6, the Vcc is 5 and I think that's interfering with my decade counters.
I've got a 555 timer wired up like in this picture
and my output is going to 2/3 Vcc instead of Vcc. This is leading to problems as I have hooked into a decade counter down the line which gets the low timer output and it's output shrinks as well. Any ideas on what I should try?
