Arpit,

I sent you full instuctions as well as a parts list.  If you did not get
them,  I will send them again.  The Pots are used to adjust the start up
signal frequency, as well as the resistance between the 555 timer and the
MAX913 input.  Remember, this is only the DRIVER board,  you need to make
your own bridge.

Regards - Jim Mitchell
