Hi All...
placing my ignorance on parade yet again...
I'm trying to finish off an EFM VCF-1e filter, but I'm at a loss as
to where to connect 5 of the lugs on the pots. There are small arrows
pointing up and down on the schematics from two of the lugs on the
pots (http://www.samecoff.com/jpgs/schematic.tiff and http://
www.samecoff.com/jpgs/schematic2.tiff) and I'm embarrassed to admit
that I don't know what that symbol means. (I do know that the one
pointing down from the cutoff pot indicates a connection to ground.)
My guess is that it indicates a connection to the positive and
negative power rails. Given that there are no holes on the PCB for
this purpose, (and assuming that my guess is correct) what's the best
way to go about making these connections? Should I tack solder onto
the backside of the power header, or should I get a really really
tiny drill bit and put a few holes in power buss which runs down the
middle of the board? If I drill the holes, how do I resolve the issue
of no pads?
I know it's a no-no to post the whole schematic w/o permission, but
given that they've been removed from the EFM site, I figured I was
safe posting a tiny little part of the schemo? I'll take them down as
soon as I figure this out. Thanks!
Any and all advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Sam E.
