LED Wiring 4 Dlator

Post by UltraHookedOnPhonix »

I've got my Dlator up and running (I'll post pics soon).

There's one issue: the LED doesn't fire up.

I used the LED wiring seen on the #124 schem where cathode of LED meets cathode of rectifier, that doesn't work. Will the schematic below work?

Much appreciated!

The #124 schematic seems to be in error. Yours should work.

remove the 330 and instead use a resistor less than 100 ohms (47R works good) and just connect it to ground, leaving the LED and 1n4007 like your diagram.

Your schematic should be just fine, try switching the wires to the LED in your current config, LED's work on neg voltage too.

Thanks fellas! That did the trick.

I'll post pictures of my new Dlator in a new thread right now.
