Title: Ruby Question
Post by: Wild Zebra on August 17, 2005, 09:18:39 AM
Well I was gonna wait and try and debug after work, but I'm here so thought I'd ask.  Made another ruby last night and its squealing, oscillating real bad.  Sorry don't have any voltages(didn't plan on asking till I had it another go).   Only sub was a 1.2M for the 1.5M resistor.
It'll work for a second and then start squealing.  My pot leads are pretty long(about 4-5 inches) on account of not being sure what to put it in yet.
Could that be it?

Thanks

Try shorter wires.  There's a good chance that is it.  Also make sure your power and ground planes aren't too close and far enough away from the input/output connections.

Do you have Krystal?  Its the same as White Castle, but better they put mustard on theirs.  We don't have em here, but last time I went to Nashville, ohh boy.  Mexican, I'll tell you what, we have these taco carts popping up all over and I can't get enough of Soft Corn Carnitas tacos with alittle cilantro and the radish and cucumber on the side.

mmm mmm mmmm mmmm

I haven't seen any Krystal around here.  Whataburger is probably the best around here, when it comes to the fast food chains.
