Can anyone please tell me how to get this kit to start working at power up.
The diagram that came with the kit shows only a 2 contact switch , my kit has a 4 contact switch
I have tried using two 1uF 50v across the 4 terminals of the switch in several different combo’s but with no effect. Remembering I put the pos leg to positive.
My last attempt , both +legs from diode with one leg to pin 7 (4015) and the other to R12 thus jumping (i think) both sides of the switch , still no affect
Has anyone got an idea how this novice can “fix” this problem
but its NOT “treated” as you say, the person said it didnt work and i have found the same thing.
I’m not being nasty but as a novice who enjoys velleman kits and you being a moderator (who I assume has better knowledge of electronics) would have been able to answer the question better for me.
Secondly on the question of the switch , can anyone please help
,also I can not find on several electronic sites that I have look on a 1uf 16v elec cap, any ideas?
Sorry, as we don’t support modifications, I was pointing to a discussion in which users discussed this issue.
Maybe a user did find a solution.
Regarding the switch, it is a single pole, single throw pushbutton. Each side of the switch has two pins instead of one, but they are in parallel.
A multimeter will reveal how it is wiring internally. pranelectronics.com/pdf/60-2 … switch.pdf
