Hagiwo has just put up another arduino vco …so that is now 3 of the same schematic …only the code needs changed…so any recommendations for a cheap single supply rail to rail opamp in the uk…the ones hagiwo uses are a bit hard to find or expensive. Yes I believe I could reconfigure the circuit for 12v , burt again any recommendations . Thanks
Ta… any other input appreciated …6002 are scarce on eb*y and a bit pricey from uk sellers
Any reason not to use ±12 V and TL071?
Farnell has MCP6002-I/P in stock at £0.414 each. (octopart.com is your friend here.)
An AD8656 runs on 5v, has rail to rail output and good specs for audio
Ok …I will go for mcp6002 surface mount with adapters for stripboard now Ive found an acceptable price. Thanks
What supplier would that be? At Farnell the SMD MCP6002 is only about £0.04 cheaper than the DIP.
Im still to check the postage rates, sometimes a bit steep … not tried farnell. Ive recently got a couple of items from RS in the UK and willing to pay above rates once in a while , and at least its next day delivery.
Edit its £9.95 ouch
Not-so-fun-fact: synth DIY is not necessarily a cheap hobby. Cheaper than buying ready-made modules, sure. But quality parts tend to add up. Usually best to buy larger quantities from big suppliers.
I had the same idea today after seeing the latest Hagiwo video, from what I could fathom the following will be suitable single supply rail to rail.
TLV271 (Sop8) 5 for £2.45 AliExpress
MCP6232 (Sop8) 10 for £5.27 AliExpress
NJM2732E (Sop8) 10 for $7.20 EBay
Sop8 adaptor plates 20 for £1.99 EBay
Of course I have no idea if they fake (recently had a bad batch of TL074’s from EBay) but I thought it was worth the gamble.
Again, if you have a ±12 V supply, you don’t need R2R. You could use a TL071.
Thanks for info , appreciated
