Hi all

having problems with an Easy Vibe - cant get the LEDs in the Opto Couplers to light ( the Biasing ones do light up !)

Please can any body confirm the Orientation of the fours leds from R.G.'s  Layout - So looking at the component side of the board should the anode (+)
be on the left or the right ?

Also what voltage should I be reading across the LEDS please ?

Many thanks

Axeman.

I had the same question as Im working on one right now. I also noticed that the pdf doesnt show oriention + or- for the electros. Does anyone have a schematic as well as the info above?

I can help with the elec. caps.... on the PCB the +ve side of the cap has a square hole on the PCB, rather than round.

Hope that helps !!!!!!
