For some reason though, two of the TL074 op amps got really hot and the sub oscillator didn't work. After some probing I found that the -2.5v source output 13.5v instead. I had my wife solder a second board but the same happened there.
I couldn't figure out what was going on, but it suddenly dawned on me when I tried to fall asleep yesterday - I have mixed up the op amp inputs when trying to make a voltage buffer :(
The fix is very easy in CAD, but on the boards I have to cut two lines and solder a new wire:
Cutting the feedback loop between the positive terminal and output. It should of course have been between the negative input and the output. |
The board is smaller than it appears btw, here is my finger for reference. |
My wife managed to solder this just fine, after that the filter works flawlessly! The tiny diagonal wire is a single copper strand from a networking cable!
