Hello. Somehow my last message didn't go through, so I'll try
again. I just finished building a dual analog shift register mounted
in a Stooge panel. An interesting module and a lot of fun, but I
have a few questions.
1. On the Stooge panel, an led for the clock speed (I assume) of
each ASR is provided, but I'm not sure where on the board to hook
these up to, or is additional circuitry needed to drive them?
2. Since I made a dual ASR, that means two boards. Is it ok to
jumper the power from one board to the other through the bus on the
board, so I only have to use 1 power connector? Will the jumpered
module suffer from lack of power for any reason?
3. I've been mainly playing around with just one of the ASRs, though
I did try both of them out to make sure both function. I noticed
that I have to retune the VCOs I'm driving with one ASR when I
switched all the cables over to the other one. Is this normal, or
could it have something to do with the fact that I didn't match all
the resistors on either board? I did use all 1% metal film
resistors, though, which the text notes should be pretty close.
4. Is it a good idea to normalise the clock jacks and the input
jacks between the two ASRs?
Thanks
Kevin
