  • hammerhead d stuck on whats wrong

    hi carl

    im trying to build a hammerhead rev d ,
    ok i built the board with vco opt one made the links ( two) middle pins and bottom left and right , anstable mid and right pin for the link and the link for single coil , building as per instruction went ok apart from tp 4 was around -1 v to 1.5 aprx
    i first tested it with 9v battery then built coil 550 uh apx before fitting coil i tried it without r5 every thing seemed ok but quiet tone out of speaker i then removed 9v battery and put my 12 volt supply on ( opps 13.8 power supply ) ive now got 12 volt reg after the power supply and before the hammerhead pcb i noticed a smell burning from r41 vol then realised i was using a 4 ohm speaker ok now 8 ohm fitted tried again ,
    burnt out q11 replaced that i can adjust r31 and r35 and get differant tone in speaker , q7 getting hot , and with coil fitted q3 gets hot , now tp1 0.4 v , tp2 -10.15v , tp3 -0.93v , tp4 stays at 4.31v , tp6 -4.85 , tp 7 -4.78 , tp9 it varies from apx 0.1v to 0.30 v ic7 p6 1.5v p9 0v if i put scope on tp1 the trace is like the lower trace (bottom trace is high freq (~2kHz).) and is adjustable in width if that makes sence

    sorry too ask but its like im going round in circles trying towork out what is wrong

    9v will work, as will 13.8v. You need to post pics. A good photo of the PCB to look over for component errors will help, and a scope shot of TP1. Q7/11 should not get hot, and Q3 will get warm but not hot.
