Yes, my friends, instead of share the hapiness of a working cicuit, I share (and shame...) the fact that I put the 9V in the opposite way that should have been...Holy protection diodes...I'll try to change it tomorrow...It should work then, am I right?!

It'll work if you're lucky, but transistors, op amps and polarized caps don't usually like that sort of thing, so don't be surprised if you have some cleanup to do.

Hi

Why not put that diode in series with the circuit, instead of parallel ?

Works for me.
cheers

what's a fist diode?

OmG, didn't notice that!!!

My freggin sylicone keyboard...Darn it...

Seems that having a bunch always ready is a must...isn't it?!

There's a reason that IN4001s are so cheap. Economy of scale. We're all burning them up by the boxload. Good thing they give us price breaks for ordering large quantities!
