oh lmao - that isnt even supposed to be there - must have been in the folder when i uploaded - that was the very first version that I was workin on
Ok, time for a clean up, me thinks.
fixed.
Good man !!!
Built:
Pro tip: No need to fret if you don’t have any 9mm pots available:
The range pot is a little fiddly, basically either very fast or very slow with a small sweet spot somewhere near the top. Would work better with a C1M pot, probably. In any case, it’s nice
Hell yes
I will try it with c1m’s on a build I think I have some or maybe A1m’s?
Well, A1M would make the problem worse
gotcha lol
Hmm I wonder if any other value changes would resolve this.
Does yours do the same thing? I’m using a cheapo potentiometer, so I wouldn’t rule that out as the issue.
I haven’t had a day off to finish my build lol.
I will be finishing it on Tuesday most likely.
I can design at work but can’t solder there :’(
Well… I could… Im just to lazy to bring everything with me lol.
I’ll experiment with some values and such and report back when I get it all finished up!
Curious, on the other transistors, did I label them incorrectly?
Yours seem to both be opposing their silkscreens
They’re different pinout, so your labeling is correct. But only for the 245 transistor :). On the diodes, let me know if your substitution doesn’t work. I have extras of the 759 as well. Should have thought of that when I mailed the transistors
Btw… @ChristianBloch LED’s still not working… I might just build another lol
What transistor are you using for the LED?
(Also, is that 270 ohm? That’s pretty tiny for driving a LED with 12 V…)
That’s what’s on the original schematic
2n3904’s - didnt have any BC550’s - I initially had them in following the silkscreen - but then i flipped them around as per suggestion - sigh -
It flickers when i plug the power cable in but doesnt come on after that.
funny thing - @ChristianBloch 's works fine… lol
I reflowed everything and such - am simply stumped… but it sounds neat lol.
Did you use new transistors after you took them out? Not sure how easily they would die from incorrect orientation. From what I understand, transistors are pretty sensitive to heat, though, so maybe the desoldering fried them?
