Man those are cool panels! So you are building groups of modules with each (group) its own panel. What are the dimensions of one of those panels? How do all these fit together? Nice work, very interesting. Chris

Great help, thank you! A picture of your finished panel would be great as a reference. Also the reference of the product you used. I'm not shure if I get it: you was able to install and remove a couple of times the sheet on the panel? That is great, aligning must not be very easy

You are looking for low RDS on and high switching speed. I regularly use a less than optimal FET in the VCOs without problems though. 2sk30 has been known to be used in VCOs so may be a good choice. Ken >could not find one of these. >what specifications should i consider when cho

You should be able to find aluminium sheets or cutted to size. Look in to normal-life shops in the city. Beguin with shops that make aluminium windows, etc. If they can't do it as you want they can tell you where to do it. There are simple methods to label your panels. Ray Wilson

If you swap the opamp inputs, the output would be a +ve normally and fall briefly to 0V when the gate signal arrived. The result is a negative going trigger pulse. The pulse voltage never goes below 0 volts though, so if that is what you mean, yes. Ken >If I were to reverse the o
