Can u tell me the amp draw for this?
Under 2 Milliamps.
Stupid me, it just clicked what the CV1 and 2 were for. I want to know how to use the CV on this board though, and what those extra pins are for.
Sorry, the positive and negative pins between the pot and resistors. Didn’t make that clear in the last post.
Hi
do you still have the previous version of apc instruction left?
I must have lost mine :/
Sincerely, Richard
can you send me the schematic of the apc 2.0?
This was my very first kit, and even my first time sauntering. I burned-out my LED, but otherwise everything went smoothly; it just took me a while since I’m new to it.
I have a question though: I see quite a few open spots on the board. Could anybody give me a few basic ideas of what else can be added to this? Can I add more photocells to affect different things?
Too bad about the LED, did you not follow the polarity of it? If it was not clear please let me know, I’ll update the instructions.
The open CV spots are for eventual Control Voltage operation of the APC, no good documentation on that exists yet.
You are probably right, I didn’t much consider the polarity of that LED. It might not even be burned out, but it at least doesn’t come on. I just thought I wasn’t using my heat diffuser correctly (this was my first build, as I said).
So, I cannot hook up an extra photo sensor to the current design?
I have another question: I plan to buy Bleep Labs Pico Paso version of the APC soon, and house it in this same box just to make two sounds at once, but I started wondering if it’s possible to daisy chain the pulse waves to make a single signal? If not as is, then could it be done with an extra chip?
I just wanted to say thanks. My buying experience has been uniformly positive. The APC 3.0 kit is great. I’m a total beginner when it comes to DIY electronics. The circuit board is so clearly labeled that I had no problem figuring out what goes where. Additionally, the customer service has been excellent. The shipping was fast and when I emailed with a question, getlofi got back to me right away. When I’m ready for another kit, I’ll get it from getlofi.
