OK, litle by little

Version of controller in these kits doesn't have a memory. It starts every time from 0.
The reason is if occasionally settings with phantom "on" or high gain stored, it can damage the mic or speakers.
Schematic link works perfect, from my home and work comuters.
It is huge .gif, may not work in Explorer.
Right click, save-as, open with acdsee ot whatever.
10k/ approx. 5ma seems ok for led, except it is not light show...at 20 ma most of led's are too flashy.
Yap, Jackson was Great Personality...never liked this kinda music anyway.
SaMpLeGoD, please let me know if display shows numbers and goes from 0 to 75 with turning the encoder.
Are pushbuttons working? (i.e. lighting their led's)?
Next step check the signals on cs, sdi, sdo, sck of PGA2500 with scope.
Check +/-5V as well.
Be sure 0db jumper is installed.
Be sure "insert" jumpers are installed.
