Title: Neptune Delay questions
Post by: octa805 on February 27, 2013, 03:47:47 AM
Howdy,

Board is about done.

Just realized I don't have another 22k for R12. Matter if I go down to 15k for this one?

Also, the LDR & LED, do they need to be under some magic hood of some sort to work? I've seen builds with and without them?

Thanks!

Do you have a pair if resistors that add up to 22K? You can install them in series, creating a sort of teepee.

For the vactrols, not really. However, they won't work correctly if they have any light shining on them.  Use a black cloth or something to cover it when testing. Or an enclosure.

I just found a 20k. I think I'll just use that and risk it.

on the vactrols, looks like people like bend them towards each other and cover them with some heat shrink. that sound about right?

20k will be fine!

hey uh, how do you wire this thing?

Mostly the warp really. thanks

Warp is just a normally open momentary. The order of the lugs doesn't matter -- it just completes a circuit.

All other wiring is standard bypass wiring.

That's why I ordered that switch, building so many things gs right now, but I couldn't remember which one took the switch.
