Using electrolytics in parallel can create oscillations at several harmonics, I discovered this when making a headphone amplifier on a breadboard and testing with RIAA.
Photonicinduction is my favourite youtuber he's a highly qualified electrician with over 20 years experience on live high voltage lines and I was thinking...
He has a 30kW xenon lamp that was made for simulating daylight for high speed video capture for stuff like crash tests...
I meant if it were through hole with a stacked pot they would share strips which would make it tricky hooking up the one closer to the edge of the board, solder lugs may be the better option.
10k is far too high it makes the intensity control logarithmic I wouldn't go higher than 5k even that...
Thanks and FYI by checking "show power" in the options menu, components consuming power and therefore generating heat will glow red this can be tuned with the power brightness slider on the right.
You make it sound as if double pots are expensive?
How about this with a 2 way pot and emitter followers on the output: circuit
I wont get full output but it reduces the part count and the heat is divided between 2 transistors.
Hey is there any way to hook up an NPN along side the emitter follower so it enters saturation when the PNP is fully on so I can get a higher max output at which point efficiency is also increased?
