The assembled circuit should look something like this. Be sure not to bother with the black lead from the transformer; it is not used in this circuit. The cap of the pill bottle (to the right) has two holes drilled in it for the LED, which I just got from a solar patio light. Make all the connections with alligator clips FIRST to test it, then solder it all together when you know it works properly.

hey i love this project but im having trouble after connecting all the parts of the transmitter. When i add the power the light does turn on, but the light doesnt blink after i connect the mono jack into a source, it just on on but not blinking. I was wondering "do you know the problem?

the laser blinks too fast to be able to see, it might look a bit dimmer though.
