Maybe you aren't the intended target for this, then?

I tried to learn electronics with 555 timers and leds about 10 years ago. Failed miserably- there was a ton of back-knowledge I didn't have. Systems like Pi make it a lot esier to work with and debug systems to gain the level of confidence where you can assemble a 555-based system.
