Re: Antuino manual
Ashhar and all, I found the problem and fixed it. It was not completely bad soldering on the DC connector, it was also the 1N4148 diode in series with the incoming 9 volts being OPEN. After re-flowing

Re: Antuino manual
I had the same problem. Mine was a bad solder joint on the negative battery to switch area. As Farhan says, just reflow it and you should be good. -- Dan, NM3A

Re: Audio pre-amplifier for microphone?
I bought one of these to experiment with, thinking there may be an op amp gain stage between the electret and the A pin (audio out). Unfortunately, there isn't. So unless you want a VOX, this module

Re: Antuino manual
OK, I'll check that. The series 1N4148 on the battery line could also be open. I found the schematic. Had trouble downloading from github but finally got it. Thanks, Jim

Re: Antuino manual
Jim, The SMD parts are assembled on a Panasonic pick and place. No chance of a reversed diode. What is, however, possible is that the DC connector, which is hand soldered, hasnt been soldered

Antuino manual
This may not be going to the right group. Is there a manual available for the Antuino? My unit arrived today. I thought I joined the Antuino group but I see the last posting I received was on 8/17.
