[sdiy] Finally! Working TOGs!

[Tim Ressel]

So I got totally p***ed off last weekend about this little circuit kicking my tuchas. My two jobs keeps me hopping, but enough already. I sat down Saturday and and didn't get up until I had a working circuit. Turns out the problem was laughably simple: the raw PCB had incomplete etch, which shorted the power supplies. 

I built up a new board starting with the regulators and checking for proper operation after each part went on. Once that all worked I added the CPLD and oscillator (which works great with the '04 instead of the '14 -- thanks guys!). The thing came right up and programmed! I quickly attached my other boards: the sawtooth generator, dodeca-vca, cv board and my old kludge Muse board. Aha! It all works! Sounds kinda thin, but hey - no filters yet.

Next: Just Intoned TOG

Pictures and mp3s real soon. Promise.
