nope, havent had time. probably around stephens day.

this is proving so far to be easier to make then i anticipated, hold out for the frustrated insomnia laden dire needy posting about 3am though.

ants installed. if the transvestities arent on the studio floor i'll go mad. probably try the next stage of instructions tomorrow. the ants took me over three ours to sort and solder. i'm pretty much beginner.

Funky - are you about?

 

[theoootini]

did you get yours built over the break aob?

 

[aoboa]

No - Christmas = too hectic.
Gonna start tomorrow night though.

caspers instructions are very easy followed, i would say aswell as the tools he recommends, i've needed a decent overhead light and insulating tape (so when you sort the resistors you can tape them to the counter).

 

[ann post]

just to clarify here, i'm on the flux capacitors now, so C5 is going

LONG LEAD -> ROUND HOLE??? yes??

will not burn it in till i hear back...

 

[theoootini]

yesh. long leg is positive. square hole is positive.

cheers

Yeh sorry for the delay aoboa. Holidays were mad for me. I'll be able to pick it up at weekends or after 4 during the week in town.

these last three diodes, (the ones that look like resistors, do the mind what way they go in??? the first 6 had the 'opposite to capacitors' warning on them, these diodes have square/circles on thier sockets. whats the story therE??

anyone??

Go back and read the instructions. It's in there. To answer, yes they do very much mind which way they go.

 

[ann post]

please tell me where, there's nothing i can see between page 35 and the end of the diode section. two of my diodes have one end marked red, one has no tape. their legs are the same lenght. (the zetor is unmarked)

 

[ann post]

i cant read the manual another time and find anything without making something up.....

anyone?

There's a line at one end the diode that matches a line on the board.

drone lab, part 2....


WHEN CAPACITORS EXPLODE!!!

 

[theoootini]

really? ouch.

 

[Space]

How the fuck did you manage to explode a capacitor?

I have a fair idea but still....
