Super Simple Oscillator Build - Help with audio out, power and earthing

[Dud]

Welcome to the forum

@louisjamesbanks

is ground the same as the negative from the battery?

yes connect all the GND points to the - of the battery

@louisjamesbanks

(for example attaching to the metal chassis I am building it in?

if your panel is conductive, yes you need to Ground it too

@louisjamesbanks

where do i connect the audio out, the ground and, the positive and the negative in the circuit

the signal wire to the Tip of the jack and the jack Sleeve to GND.

There’s also a lot of thread about the SSO (you can search with the engine search of the forum)
This one maybe can interrest you

Getting the SUPER SIMPLE OSCILLATOR to oscillate

The SUPER SIMPLE OSCILLATOR keeps causing headaches, because while it’s a SUPER SIMPLE CIRCUIT (and SUPER CHEAP; the active component costs you a couple of cents) it’s not necessarily a SUPER SIMPLE BUILD, as can be seen in the recurring “oscillator trouble” threads in this forum. So I thought I’d post some suggestions for how to build the oscillator step by step, in a way that will at least tell you if you’ve managed to get it to oscillate. I’ve tested this with a variety of transistors, and h…
