Hey DIY friends! I'm a bit new to DIY without instructions and so on. With that said, I bought an LED holder/LED with built in resistor.

Is there a way to connect it to this F2UEE switch? The other threads were a bit fuzzy answering this question.

The unit works flawlessly other than that.

Thank you!
Mike
I bought the DPDT version of that switch (You have the DPST) and I just bent the last 6 pins legs to fit on the board, then I could use the extra throw to send power to the LED. You can see it here:

Hey gang, would someone please post a link to a toggle switch that's suitable for the frequency selection?

From what I've seen it seems to be working with a double pole switch for both hi and low switch?

All the best
 
wow! how cool is this, did your friend actually made it? i want to for sure!
but the files on adjusting the filters and such to my own likings can;t be found anymore :(
any chance in re-uploading those?

would be highly appreciated :)

All info that is needed can be found in this thread. You need to read all pages. I've spent hours reading through this thread and learned so much. Part of the fun!
 
Dumb question but I'm brand new to this hobby. I'm currently building two of the Studer 169 EQs and it calls for a 1k6 resistor, all I currently have are 1k5 resistors. Would this be fine to substitute without causing potential problems to the circuit and/or functionality?

If you're not trying for Swiss precision, 1K5 should be fine.
 
I was looking at the BOM and it lists C21 and C22 as 100nF, but does not say whether they need to be excluded if you are using a DOA. I know the other parts that fit into the DOA slot like the 22p capacitor and the IC socket are only to be used if you don't plan on using a DOA. My question is do I need to install the 100nF capacitator even if I plan on using a DOA or is this one of the components that can also be excluded if I'm using a DOA. The BOM wasn't clear on this.
 
I think those are on the power rails and should be included. Check the schematic. I don't think there are any parts that need to be excluded to run the DOA. You can have everything installed and run either type
