Re: Polysix contact strip

2012-07-24 by tonezone020

Hi again,

Should IC31 and IC30 pins 7 be connected to each other ? Also, should pin 1 from both run to ground ? 

As you can tell, I'm a complete novice trying to make sure about reading the schematics !

I'm in the UK by the way. Where are you ?

Regards,

Tony
