Egodriver Clipping modes

[teknoman2]

I finally finished my egodriver and I believe its ok.

My voltages are 8.50v on pin8, 0v on pin4, 4.30v on pins 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and between 4.15v on pin3.

I measure my dc and it is 9v.

If my dc input is 9v I believe I should have 4.5v, not 4.30v is there something wrong?

Also what is the best led for clipping?

I use red water clear with MCD 8000-12000.

Should I increase led MCD ? Something like MCD 12000 to 20000?

R12 drops a little of the supply voltage, so your measurements look fine. If you socket your LEDs, you can try different values/colors/styles to find what you like best.

Does anyone use BAT41 for clipping?

Also both leds should light or only one of them?

Mine when I use leds only one (D4) light, is that correct?

[oldhousescott]

I would expect both LEDs to light.
