Hey Grendel !

Running out of options here. I just put a 555 timer circuit together using a 10 micro farad capacitor, a 1 k resistor on R2 and a 500k potentiometer on R3. For some reason, I'm getting a kinda double blink ; first, it lights up but barely, as if I was not feeding it enough power, and then it goes on full power... changed the capacitor, change the value of the resistors, added a diode to the led, but still, double blink. Check out the video. Any idea why ?

Thanks !
