5V rail changing to 7.5v with accent pot
Posted: Jan 31st, '18, 10:28
Hey dudes
So I’ve started my build. I have the done the accent and the bass drum.
I’ve noticed that when I turn the accent pot up all the way, the 5V power rail increases from 5V to 7.5V.
With the accent pot closed or up to 50% I get 5 volts everywhere on the 5V rail.
At the moment I have nothing built that uses the 5V but I imagine turning up the accent pot and sending 7.5V to the sequencer chip when it’s soldered would not be good.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Cheers.
