Hi Everyone,

This is my first time posting on electro-music.com.

I was wondering if anyone could take a look at the bread board layout I did for Highly Liquid's schematic of a 5 channel MIDI Thru box.

Here are the schematics:

This is what I cooked up:

Am I doing something obviously wrong? I don't have a lot of exp with schematics.

Thank you!

ah. well. i'm not exactly sure.
it doesn't operate.

i'm also not so good at using my multimeter so I can't tell where the exact problem is.

In the version of the schematic on Papareil's site, it specifies a 3.3k resistor going to pin 6 of the optocoupler when using a 6n136, rather than the 10k that Highly Liquid's schematic uses.

I know when I build my x0xb0x, I ended up having to use a much lower resistance than the optocoupler/schematic called for - they can be kind of strange sometimes.
