Background - The MOOG Schematic |
Here's the Schematic Diagram from the Mini Moog manual - click on the image for a larger version. It's set up for 10V power supply and it has a mistake in the PNP diagram. Here's the adaption for 15V and our correction of the PNP diagram. Here's how we laid it out on the MUUB3: |
Construction Phase 1All the stuff in Phase 1 gets soldered using "Organic" Solder. At every break in the action, we wash the board off to get rid of the flux. |
Jumpers |
|
Resistors & Caps |
Semiconductors, Sockets, Power Stuff |
Bottom Jumpers |
Construction Phase 2All the stuff in Phase 2 gets soldered using "No-Clean" Solder and the PCB doesn't get washed off from here on. |
Wires |
Mounting the PCB |
We decided to use a little plaque we found at a craft supply store as a base to mount the PCB on. We put finishing nails in the base to make easy contact points for our Test Meter. |
Done with Construction |
Set up / Testing |
We Used our Digital Test Meter to test the thing. It has + and - 15V in the right places. The Voltage across the test points is 7.5V and without a test transistor in the socket, there's .100 milliamps (that's 100 micro amps or 100µA) across them - perfect! Sometimes you win. |
Use Notes |
We started testing with PNP transistors and switched to NPNs. Works great! |
