First Cmoy!

[mustang]

Yay finally finished my first cmoy!! huge shouts to meat01 and thrice for their help

and of course, tangent for his awesome guide.

Learned how to heatshrink (albeit with a hair dryer), read a schematic, solder effectively, and learn on a basic level how this thing actually works.

Nothing fancy--just the TLE2426 rail splitter, OPA 2227, and a 10k pot w/ switch

So, after countless hours, I present you:

Part of the protoboard is cracked because my dad thought that by cracking that part off, it might fit. Turns out it's still too big...lol

Congratulations!

Maybe it would fit better if you turned the board upside down (solder side up)

built in switch in the pot?

cool

What pot did you get and where from? I really want one of those for my own cmoy...

Nice job, thanks for posting pictures!

Looks good -- your case definitely looks a lot better than my first few Cmoys did, and working in the TLE is pretty impressive for a first go

I wonder if you can slide the board underneath the jacks? Put down a layer or two of electrical tape on the bottom of the tin to prevent shorts if you try that, of course. I've been playing with axial-lead caps for the power reservoir myself. Radial-lead caps just stand up too straight, like you're seeing.
