Burst Generator problem?

Burst Generator problem?

2006-05-26 by thealisonproject

Last night I finished the Burst Generator, everything seems to work
fine except sometimes when I am switching pulses my Burst Gen will
automatically set off a series of pulses, this seems to only happen
once if the pulse rotary is switched after the manual trigger or trig
jack have been applied.

Anyone have any ideas, the one thing I was unsure of is I used a
Shorting Rotary, should I be using a Non-Shorting rotary, could that
be the problem...

Thanks
Chris

Yes, use a non-shorting rotary. As its, you are causing a connection between
a high and a low at the point of chaninging, and anything could happen. As a
rule, always use break before make switches.

Thanks Ken, I will pick one up today... None the less has a great time

I replaced the Shorting Rotary with a Non-Shorting and I still get the
same thing....

Anyone have any ideas??

Actually, now that I think about it, when you move the switch, you release
the hold line, so it's free to continue. Mind you, the switch needed
prelacing anyway. The wrong switch could damage the chip.

Alright so is that normal, sometimes when I switch the rotary it lets out
one pulse, sometimes up to 5 or 6..

I expect the higher number of pulses you have selected before moving the
switch, the lower number it will give upon moving the switch, if you move
the switch downwards. If you move it upwards, it will probably pulse once
per step you have moved upwards. (if that isn't totally confusing)
