Hi,
I've just built my first CGS module, the utility LFO :) I finished
and powered it up and it worked fine. I then disconnected it and
cleaned it up in the back (used ties to hold the wires together and
used my roommates blow dryer to shrink some shrink wrap around the
LEDs leads) I then went and reconnected it to my system and LFO 1 no
longer works (LFO 2 still works fine). I've checked the wiring and
replaced the IC's but to no avail.
I implemented a range switch for both LFOs which does work. When I
now switch through the different setting for LFO 1 it affects the
output of LFO 1 but the LFO does not sweep through its range. What
could have went wrong, did the blow dryer destroy the LED and now the
circuit won't work (is the LED even necessary to make the circuit
work) or maybe the heat destroyed another component? The panel was
really hot from the heat of the blow dryer.
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful to me. I'm new to
building modules and don't know a lot about trouble shooting them.
Thank you,
Dave
