I built the kit from silver dog and for the life of me I'm stumped. Below are some of the voltages. With power on it I get nothing from the buzzer unless I move it close to a magnet. Then I get a buzz. I beleive the problem is in the negative voltage. But its not the ICL7660 chip. If I remove the 555 chip the negative voltage jumps to -4.750. I have since replaced the 555 chip and still the same problem. Also the R6 resistor is too hot to touch. If I remove the coil it cools back down. I have set set offset to 0volts also. Any help would be great.
