LED does not blink in Experiment 11 (Make Electronics, 2nd Edition)

Electrical Engineering Asked by czheo on December 8, 2021

I couldn’t make the LED blink building with my breadboard.
So I tried out the experiment with an online simulator.
The LED does not blink in the simulator as well. Is it because the simulator does not reflect the reality, or I connected it wrong?

The article has 470K resistors and you've used 470 ohm resistors, that's off by 1000:1 (too low). I can't really see what your values are on the breadboard.

The simulator may or may not work, oscillators sometimes need a bit of a whack to get going.

Edit: In this case, it does work when the resistor values are changed.
