OK, when comparing the layout to the schematic I noticed that the layout only has space for one IC, where as the schematic calls for two. i am a little confused at this. here is the link(s) for the item:

and heres the PCB in case anyone wants to build.

thanks in advance.

Each triangle symbol on the schematic is one opamp, the OP275 is a dual package so it has 2 opamps in it, so you only need one IC.

Pins 1,2 and 3 are one opamp, pins 5,6 and 7 are the other one.

 :icon_eek: Thanks for that reply! I was so confused, but knowing that and looking at the schematic again it makes so much since! Thanks again. I do kind of feel like an rtard though... ???

ayayay!

It's also important to note:  Each amp has 2 inputs.  One is inverting (-) and one is non-inverting (+).  You need to know that little tidbit.  ;)
