I can see where my rather crappy circuit diagram might not have made all that clear. Here is a picture of the...- harmfulcow

I have limited circuit expertise so this...- harmfulcow

I have the circuit assembled (sub-par diagram pictured here: https://imgur.com/a/PXR6dtH) but when I flip the switch the resistor fries. Did I get a way too small resistor? A little insight on what I did wrong in this circuit would...- harmfulcow
