So usinf a 6v supply, instead of getting 6v high 0v low. I get 6v
high,
5.99v, 5.98 ... 5.89, (there is a small slope at the high)

5.89V counts as damned close to 6V if you ask me. You're lucky to get
that much with silicon, a 0.6V drop is more typical (and you'll find it
under a stiffer load).

I don't know why it would drop. It could be real, some effect internal
to
the 555, a power supply issue (is +V varying by 0.1V as well?), or
something with your meter, or how you're measuring it.


Ok I put up a web page to show what I get on the scope:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/lerameur/

Everything is supplied by a 12v battery

I am using this cicuit:

except for the resisitor to change the frequency.

Its staring you in the face right in the photo. Put the scope into DC
coupling and check back.

oook , thank you
I feel dumb enough now
