Would that not blow the fuse?

Not necessarily.
Fuses are mainly in there to minimize the risk of a circuit literally going up in flames - there is no guarantee that they are fast enough to protect a semiconductor.

But we're talking in general here - I don't say you have blown up anything - how could I know from a distance?
You will only find out bydoing the usual test routine: check supply voltages at every IC, then trace signal from input of the circuit to outputs thru every stage.

Yeah I'm really sorry I must come across like a total pain with all these questions!
I'd like to reiterate I'm certainly not expecting you to fix it for me I guess I'm just hoping for some ideas when I throw this out there.
I've got my multimeter back but there seems to be no power to any of the chips.....

Ok, then you should check the path of the AC (transformer secondary winding(s) ) into the circuit: fuses, rectifiers, voltage regulators.

Strangely enough, though the fuse didnt look blown, replacing it seemed to do the trick. Bizarre. This phaser also sounds great JH, thanks for four amazing projects so far.
Only one little niggle, though it's not a catastrophe: no sound comes through in bypass mode...
Better than the otehr way round, though, eh! I'll have a look again at some point, but for now I'm gonna have a breather from DIYT for a couple of months and actually make some music...

Glad to hear it works!

Can't bee hard to trace that fault - there's aonly a couple of components in the signal path, when the relay is in the bypass position.

hi

im finishing up populating this pcb but having troubles getting 9k1 resistors
would combining 2 4k7s in series be ok (9k4) ?

No.

Better use a parallel connection:

10k || 100k = 9k09

(As a rule of thumb, if you don't have an E24 value, use the next bigger E12 value and connect 10 * that value in parallel.)

ok well im about to finally wire this baby up

Posted Image, might have been reduced in size. Click Image to view fullscreen.

is there need to isolate the lamps from each other if they are within an enclosure. i only really ask this as my panel mount lamp is not enclosed and the bulb is close to the other lamps / ldrs

Beautiful!

What's the 5th knob?

FP lamp goes on when LDR lamps go off, so you must put some shade between them.

Hello,

Whilst building one of these phaser into a rack recently, I was stumped by what to cover the lamps with as the case was not totally light-proof, then at work I found some neon sign caps in black silicon. I didn't want to use tape, as it might make a mess, and though I do have heatproof tape at work too, it has aluminium in it, and I was worried about creating shorts... So if you can find these (maybe from a local neon sign supplier?) they are ideal, as they are also heatproof, and just slip on and off as needed (though they wouldn't 'fall' off when moving...)

I said it before, and I'll say it again - nice Phaser Luka!

Charlie

Hello everyone, JH,

I finished a Krautrock Phaser some time ago, but I've just realised that I may have installed the wrong relay...

Instead of the 12V relay (Finder Relay 30.229 12V-360R )
I've installed a 5V relay (Finder Relay 30.22S 5V )

The circuit works with no problems that I have seen. Will this cause problems in the future?

Also the 12V one I should have used, is that the correct type (30.229 12V-60R), or would Finder Relay 30.22 12V work - I'm looking at this page at Banzai:

http://www.banzaieffects.com/Relays-c-276.html

Sorry for so many questions - this mistake has made me lose confidence slightly!

Charlie

It may become hot, or the resistor that's connected in series with the relay will.

Just re-calculate the resistor value.

Get the nominal current of your 5V relay: Inom
The resistor must take 15V - 5V = 10V
i.e. series resistor value Rser = 10V / Inom
Power in the resistor: P = 10V * Inom
Choose Resistor Wattage at least 3 times that calculated power.

JH.

Thank you Jurgen,

So, I've looked at the Datasheet for the relay, I've found the rated coil consumption (I guess that is Inom?) it is 40mA,

So that means a 1.2W resistor, I think (10*0.004 = 0.04, *3=1.2W

Or, more than likely, I've got the wrong end of the stick!

Well yes, the closer the relay voltage is to the PSU voltage, the better is the efficency of the whole thing ... that's the reason why I chose a 12V relay (15V is not so common, and 12V is close to 15V).

Lower Relay voltage means higher current (for the same type of relay), *and* higher voltage across the series resistor, so the power consumption of that resistor is increased dramatically.

JH.

Thanks JH,

I knew it was wrong, and I shall have to replace the part, but now I know why it is wrong, so, again...

Thank you Very Happy

Hard to tell. If there is enough demand - yes.
Orders for this came trickling in, until suddenly I noticed the last board was gone - I don't even have a single spare for myself.

If anybody is interested in a re-run, send me an email (no PM, please). When I have enough, in a few months or so, I'll do a re-run.

JH.

Just in case someone is curious how the original Schulte was designed... Wink

No. Never use a 072 in a circuit where the input can swing near the supply rails, or where its output can see a heavy capacitve load.

thanks J
probably why it isnt working right now

any other decent substitutions?
i ordered 1458s and i got some 16pin IC, no other 1458s from local vendors.
i noticed mention of 4558s earlier in the thread, i have some here and might try, but if you can think of anything else im all ears
