RE: Neovibe. Hoping for a little help?

[mjones1992]

So I've pretty much put together my entire Neovibe build but when I was ordering parts, I somehow forgot the Diode Bridge. I tried picking one up at Radioshack but it ended up being a mess of leads because the pinout was wrong and even after I got it oriented correctly, the leads were too thick to fit in the PCB. And of course, as luck would have it, my wallet got stolen last week and I can't order anything lol.

I was reading that I can put jumpers across the where Diode bridge would be if I'm running DC (I'm going to be running 24VDC), but I'm not sure what I'm doing. 

Could someone explain how I would do that? Do the jumpers just go left to right over DB1? And then do I have to ground the DC jack? And if so, where to?

Thanks so much I've asked in a few other communities and I haven't gotten any replies. I really want to get this thing working.

For reference: http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/univibe/vibeupdate.pdf <--that's the build doc. Has the parts list, schematic, and pcb layout.

You would jumper from the k diode bridge pad to the square pad to the left and the j bridge pad to the round pad to the left. The k will be your voltage and j is ground. Or you could solder the wires directly to the square and round pads.

Awesome! Thanks!

I think it might be time to bust out the soldering iron despite it being 3AM here. I'm so excited

[Shrtyska9]

Nice! I'm sure you wouldn't be the first guy around here to break out the iron at 3am.

Btw Welcome to the forum!:D

... I've been working dayshift too long, and leaving for work at 6am. If I'm up at 3am these days, I'm utterly shagged.

I've had a few builds that I finished at 3AM, but I don't think I ever started at 3AM.

The only time I'm up at 3:00 a.m. is if I can't sleep and I'm tossing and turning.

Actually maybe I should in fact get up and crank up the iron !
