Slope Detector component question

Slope Detector component question

2006-11-13 by Andrew Scheidler

On the Slope Detector PCB, there are three spots that have the resistor "graphic", but the label says RLED.

Does a Red LED go here, or something else?

And if so, is there any specific size of LED that would be best?


thanks :)
Andrew

RLED = Resistor LED, e.g. the respective adjusted Resistor Value for
the LED.

from Ken's page on the Slope Detector, near the bottom -

"The LED resistors can be selected as needed. If you are using common
LEDs, 1k to 2k2 would be appropriate. If you are using any of the
super-bright modern LEDs for their unique colors, the resistors can be
much higher, 10k to 33k for example, so that the LEDs don't dazzle you"

cheers

Read the page!! please!!!

RLED = resistor for LED:

The LED resistors can be selected as needed. If you are using common LEDs,
1k to 2k2 would be appropriate. If you are using any of the super-bright
modern LEDs for their unique colors, the resistors can be much higher, 10k
to 33k for example, so that the LEDs don't dazzle you.

Sorry for being dim... I had read that 20 times, but my brain never made the jump from "LED resistors" to "RLED". Still learning :)

BTW, I built a pair of Lockhart wave folders and they work beautifully! I especially like running the triangle wave thru a VCA before going into the folder, and feeding the VCA a cv from an EG or LFO signal. Produces some very interesting sweeps!
