Well I successfully figured out what my problem was with the touch sensor. The pin outs on the sensor are not in the order of Ground VCC the I/O the I/O pin is in the middle and I had reversed the VCC and IO pins. After this correction everything function just as it was described in the directions....

...After the board was powered up all worked well for me, I did connect via Bluetooth to my laptop and opened a terminal window to the Bluetooth module. I sent the commands as outlined in the advanced user manual, however, I do not get a flash on the yellow LED. But the green LED does pulse slightl...

SkyRaider, Thanks so much for your reply been super busy this past week and managed to get in a car accident Friday (lady crashed into the back of my car going 70km/h) any way I finally got back to the clock project. Your explanation was immensely helpful, I do not know assembly at all. I have only ...

SkyRaider that is so great that you finished your kit. I am in the process of finishing mine things have been going pretty well, I ran into some problems with the base it just stopped working all of a sudden and turns out it was the crystal oscillator replaced it things are good there now. You made ...

So looking for some feedback on the levitating base part of the build. I have finished the PCB up to the point where testing is required. SO the mag coil PCB has been mated to the control PCB at the solder pads as stated. I had a few questions about the touch switch. Seems as though in the pictures ...

This part of the kit has gone together great, at first, it did not power up and I realized I had forgotten to solder in the fuses. After the board was powered up all worked well for me, I did connect via Bluetooth to my laptop and opened a terminal window to the Bluetooth module. I sent the commands...

Been a pretty easy build so far really enjoying it. I have been using solder paste and heat gun method for soldering the SMD components sure makes it easy compared to using a soldering Iron, especially for the IC packages like the pic controller. I ran into one hiccup in the process when I plugged t...

Excellent! Everything is replaced and all is working again. Thanks for the help. Good to hear. I had the same problem with mine. However mine seemed to be a problem with this one particular tube. I have not gotten up the courage to try it again on the board dont want to have to replace another comp...

ah so the caps arent doing anything then. I was looking at that the other day wondering what they were there for. I was thinking to myself I just must be stupid or missing a trace or something but could not figure out why they were there if they were not connected between. Guess I will start the pro...
