Thanks for your reply! However each IC seems to be powered correctly. So I'm still at a loss that's why I wrote down my measurements for each and every pin and have put tehm hopefully in an easily readable form below. Any hint where to investigate this issue further?
U1 (CD4046BE)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = -15V; Pin 3 = -15V; Pin 4 = -15V; Pin 5 0V; Pin 6 = 0V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 0V; Pin 9 = 0,1V; Pin 10 = 0V; Pin 11 = 0V; Pin 12 = 0V; Pin 13 = 0V; Pin 14 = -15V; Pin 15 = 0V; Pin 16 = 15V.
U2 (CD4046BE)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = 0V; Pin 3 = -15V; Pin 4 = 0V; Pin 5 = 0V; Pin 6 = 0V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 = 0V; Pin 9 = 0,1V; Pin 10 = 0V; Pin 11 = 0V; Pin 12 = 0V; Pin 13 = 0V; Pin 14 = -15V; Pin 15 = 0V; Pin 16 = 15V.
U3 (LF398)
Pin 1 = 15V; Pin 2 = 0V; Pin 3 = 0V; Pin 4 = -15V; Pin 5 = 0V; Pin 6 = 0V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 = 0V.
U4 (LMC555)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = 3,3V; Pin 3 = 6,3V; Pin 4 = 15V; Pin 5 = 0V; Pin 6 = 3,3V; Pin 7 = 3,3V; Pin 8 = 15V.
U5 (TL072)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = 0V; Pin 3 = 0V; Pin 4 = -15V; Pin 5 = 0V; Pin 6 = 0V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 = 15V.
U6 (TL072)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = 0V; Pin 3 = 9V; Pin 4 = -15V; Pin 5 = -5,5V; Pin 6 = 9V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 = 15V.
U7 (TL074)
Pin 1 = 0V; Pin 2 = 0V; Pin 3 = -15V; Pin 4 = 15V; Pin 5 = -15V; Pin 6 = 0V; Pin 7 = 0V; Pin 8 = 0V; Pin 9 = 0V; Pin 10 = -15V; Pin 11 = -15V; Pin 12 = 0V; Pin 13 = 0V; Pin 14 = 0V. |

If you're only getting constant, unchanging voltages out of the 555, your problem may be there, or right around it. |

Thanks! Yes, I've an eye on the 555 esp. since there's constantly 15V at pin 4 which is the reset input. However, since *the* DIY-rule is 'Take your time' I'll investigate on this at the weekend. |

Hi
does all the potentiometers have to be linear ?

Hey guys. although i'm quit unexperienced with all of this, i've decided to give this a try as my first build.
i just wanted to know if this list is indeed everything needed (apart from everything which goes on the face plate such potentiometers, etc... ?)
i also wanted to know how do i connect the module to my doepfer eurorack ? there aren't such things as 4pin to 16 ribbon cables are there ?
finally, anybody with a solution for a faceplate ? i know there's been some talk on this thread, but the euro related solutions have been cut...
i appreciate your help

There are 2 1uf electro caps missing from that list.
I've got a parts list with mouser part numbers in excel format if that'll help. I haven't posted it here (or anywhere) pending final completion of bug #1 here. Let me know if there's any interest in that. Still waiting for my panel - scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
Dunno about the euro adaptor - but there's a way, I've seen it done. |

yeah i would be really interested in both your excel file and the also how you got a panel done. that would be awesome thanks !
ps: about mouser, do they ship to the uk ? |

Here's the bom, sort of - I just noticed that I never added the resistor numbers- but they're pretty easy to figure out. I don't know if mouser ships to the UK, or if that's the best way to get this stuff - perhaps someone else will know.
I used front panel express in Seattle to make a front panel - did a budget panel, still cost about 60$ including shipping. It's motm format, so it's not much use for you, and I won't post the fpd unless anyone else wants it. It's in the modularsynthpanels yahoo group if anyone really needs it.
Edit - woops, don't use the old file I posted - booboos on both opamps. I'll replace it with a new corrected one shortly if you see a file here, it's the fixed one. FWIW, I finished bug #1 tonight and it works 100%, and is extremely cool!

Yep, Mouser will ship to Europe all right. I've got a fair amount of stuff from them over the years. They sell pretty cheap, and the US dollar is at what it's at right now, so on paper it looks like a good bargain. In reality though, their shipping is fairly steep and customs are sharp about packages from America - so it mightn't be worth it in the long run. I've found that orders around $50 to be the golden mean; not enough for customs to be interested and not enough for large shipping prices. Having said that, I've been taxed on at least one order for less. I think it's just pot luck sometimes. Is there a specific component you can't find? Have you tried Farnell or Maplins?
QUICK EDIT: I just read your previous post, I see it's your first build. Good luck with it.
Pretty much everything on the BOM is run of the mill stuff - with the exception of the VTL5C's (vactrols), to a lesser extent the SMD capacitors and to an even lesser extent the 3.3 uF bipolar capacitor. If you have a local electronics shop they should have everything else. No need to be ordering from America, really. I've gotten vactrols from Banzai; a little pricey perhaps, but it's a specialized component, and the postage is minimal. Most of the rest should be available locally or at least from the above sources... hope this helps a bit. Someone else from the UK might jump in and point you in the right direction.
As for the power, you *could* just solder three wires from the power distribution board to the module... |

thanks for your help, i've now got a big array of options which is definitely what i was looking for.
To answer your question, i am indeed thinking of going to my nearest maplins, i was simply looking around to see if there was a place that would have everything, to make things more simple...
it seems i've got it sorted on finding the components, its now just a question of getting the right ones and not messing up...
as of now, i've not actually purchased anything yet, because i've decided from experience, to first make sure i can get everything, evaluate the total price, add an 'unexpected costs margin' and then go for it.
being a student i just have to make sure this is actually possible money wise, and also it seems you can't do something properly if you rely on getting the rest while making it.
as for the circuit itself, it seems pretty straight forward (i'll probably strangle myself later for saying that), as long as i respect the polarity, place the components in the right place, and check with a volt meter that the current is going through, i should be fine... |

3.3uF electrolytics? |
|
|
Does anybody have a source for these 3.3uF non-polarized electrolytics? I didn't expect them to be a problem, but I can't find them anywhere! I guess they don't need to be electros, if there are boxed film caps which might fit. Where did you people get yours?
Everything else is in place now. The SMT caps I bought were a little too small, but they just barely fit. Also I used 35v tantalums instead of electrolytics. Almost done!
Thanks to all involved! |

Been meaning to ask the same question.
I have a stock of 2.2uF NP electrolytics, would it be possible to use them ?

Is mouser out of them? The part number for mouser is in that BOM I posted, and I've also gottne non-polar electros from digikey. |

Thanks for the replies! I did web searches at Mouser and Digi-key which didn't show anything, but I know that those don't always include all of the details. I'll find my BOM and try the part numbers.
I was checking out Dr Mabuse's Wogglebug mods at the Wiard group on Yahoo, some neat ideas there. |

i'm not sure what the application is here, but you could get really close with 2 6.8uF in series: - to - this is a bipolar arrangement with a value of 3.4uF.

I finally built a couple of these - one works perfectly, but the other one's 555 is too fast and the speed range is too narrow ...between ~80-160Hz.
However, the 555 on the good one goes from ~0.01-100Hz.
Checklist:
- both have the identical 1% resistors
- no solder bridges
- I swapped 555's and it made no difference
- I tried swapping the BC560 and it didn't make a difference
Is it worth swapping the BC550's? That's the only thing I haven't tried.
Notes
Here are the voltages I'm getting at the +/- terminals on the LED side of the Vactrols:
(Rate Pot CCW / CW)
- Good Wogglebug:
12.8V / 15.6V
12.9V / 15.6V
- Bad Wogglebug
16.9V / 17.2V
15.3V / 15.4V _________________ Sneak-Thief - raw electrofunk |

now that i have the great #3 wogglebug pcb on a nice bridechamber panel - is there some smaller 'blue lodge' type order for half ass wogglebug owners?

If you use the BOM I posted earlier, and sub alpha pots, it'll make a huge difference in the price. Not much you can do about the vactrols and that one ic - but together from allied they were still less than 10$. Also bridechamber sells jacks that are almost identical to the switchcraft ones at a much lower cost - try those. |

For WB panel, i'll go for something like that, although i'm not sure i've understood everything |

YOU UNDERSTAND NOTHING !
I guess I've mixed up our project and "Richard Brewster’s Synthesizer » DIY Wiard Wogglebug"
Doesn't anyone put the STEP input on panel ?
with a suitable resistor set or input buffer
and the two red LED (NE555 internal lfo and CLOCK IN monitoring) ? |

hey, i've been very interested in a woogle bug unit ever since i saw it in action on youtube.
I've seen pcb designs for it, but i have not attempted to make my own pcbs yet, dont really have the space for a chemical lab right now
so i wanted to know if theres a good resource on the circuit, listing parts, and maybe a link that would sell me a printed pcb? or maybe one of you experts could do it for me and i'd pay ya for the costs.
To be honest, i did not look through all 11 pages of this thread, only about 5, and most the links i found were broken, so i might have missed exactly what im asking about, but thought maybe i'd ask anyways. |

hey funky
im designing my panel at the moment and didn't include step in
to be honest i missed that option completely
the only thing im adding is the disturb input as i have had some people tell me i it is very useful.
ill post some designs once i finalise _________________ problemchild
