Hi, Using posted schematics can be a challenge. You have to know what the schematic means. It is just the electrical part of a project. They don't usually provide any build tips. It is expected that anyone working from just a schematic would understand typical building methods. I run into folks fairly often that build something from a schematic and have no clue why it doesn't work like it was supposed to. When I post a project it usually has photos and text to assist in the building of it. Experienced builders can look at a schematic and envision how it has to be built. Novices unfortunately can not. Worse even the best of intentions can lead to errors in schematics. It has happened to me on occasion. That is what forums and blogs are for... posting fixes until such time as the project can get updated.
