Momentary Switch Question
Hi! I'm building a Devi Ever Sodameiser kit right now, and for the chaos (oscillation) mode I need to remove one of the caps from the circuit. I wanted to do this with a DPDT Momentary switch. Do I just solder the cap to one side of the lugs and run wire to the pcb where it should go? I'm confused!
Any help would be really appreciated!

Re: Momentary Switch Question

Re: Momentary Switch Question
You need a SPST NC switch between the .1uf and the 10k/2.2M/.1uf collector junction (or between the .1uf, .1uf/2.2M and base junction). That will leave the cap in and when you press and hold the switch it will lift the cap out of the circuit.

I couldn't read it so I tried to fix the spacing for you. I hope i didn't break it by moving stuff. Dr Satan maybe you want to try a free program like diy layout creator, ltspice, eagle, diptrace etc.. to draw schematic. its really easy and fast. you just take a screen shot of your schematic and post the image. ascii art is cool but I'm guessing that it is tedious work to draw it by hand with text

Re: Momentary Switch Question
I have most of those programs, I had just been working with them all day designing some layouts and needed a break. Alt + 255 and some copypasta is cake. I can even triforce.
