Modulated Frequency Circuit
Hello and welcome to another episode of "why doesn't my shit work?!"
Today, we have the Modulated Frequency circuit, found on page 146 of Handmade Electronic Music, 3rd edition
It's beautiful, and it has clear instructions!
Where did I go wrong
I had to go out and buy the right capacitors (thank you to today's sponsors The Micro Center), but I didn't pick up the right potentiometers.
The recipe calls for three 100 kOhm pots. I substituted two 10 kOhm pots and a 1M Ohm, hoping it would taste the same.
But, alas, nothing happened!
It may have also been the speaker that didn't work - maybe it needs more power than a 3V coin cell battery can give.
I'm going to find the right pots and see if the circuit works.
Will I ever get a ciruit to work at home? Stay tuned...
