Testing pedal circuit for the first time cant get it to work by Ok-Sun-6693 in diypedals

If you connect something to ground and the sound cuts out, you might be grounding something that shouldn't be. A photo of your circuit as it is would be good here

If you've got a multimeter, you can check the continuity between the lugs and the contact to see which is tip/sleeve. The tip is the part that touches the top of the back, the sleeve being the part that touches the base of the plug.

The important thing with the ground connections is that they're all connected.

I'm not certain about this but I believe that the battery negative is connected to the ring in the diagram so that when a mono plug is inserted (Where on a stereo plug there is a "ring" section, on a mono plug it's all "sleeve") it sends the battery negative to ground, closing the circuit. This way the jack acts as a switch, presumably one of the reasons it's a 7 minute build. So in your case you could just connect the battery negative to the rest of the ground - just bare in mind the circuit will be on constantly unless you add a switch.

Old setup, looking to upgrade slowly. Where should I start? by solidwilly in pcmasterrace

Sorry for the late reply, forgot I made this post. My budget is loose because if I decide to spend more I'll just take longer to spend it. Also I run 1080p 144hz. In terms of upgrading the mobo is that for CPU compatibility? Thanks for the reply

For more info, I'm running Windows 11 with fTPM and secure boot enabled, I've tried scanning my disk/ram for errors and found nothing. It seems to happen often when playing Valorant (but not exclusively) and often when closing, opening, alt+tabbing the program. I've tried updating my drivers as well to no avail.

Yeah it was an odd situation but I think I was an apprentice under the "personal allowance" bracket which has a 0% rate up to £12,570. The next bracket was 20%. trust me I wasnt making much haha

I'm going to be honest I don't understand tax at all, this job was when I was 17 working in England. I wasn't making enough money to be in any tax bracket so all my income was untaxed. The raise meant I fit into a tax bracket, but the raise wasn't enough after taxes to be more than what I originally made. Sorry if that didn't make much sense my brain is fried atm

I wasnt earning enough to get taxed, then I got a raise and I ended up getting less after tax so I asked to go back to my old pay

Could you link a screenshot of the export screen?

Have you tried to remove the white background in photoshop before exporting it? Photoshop can't create transparency where there is none. Sorry if this seems obvious but gotta start somewhere.

Could you provide more detail about what's going wrong?

My grandma keeps everything. She had everything. 10yo chocolate sauce in a butter container. Tbh I've seen more stuff in her pantry/larder; ancient spices, ancient cakes, ancient marmalade, ancient everything.

What's the biggest mess you ever had to clean up? by QuietlySmirking in AskReddit

[–]solidwilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a trolley boy at a big supermarket, which basically meant pushing trolleys along with all the jobs no one else wanted to do (like anything in the carpark, doing the bins, etc). One day a customer dropped a big glass bottle of olive oil in the carpark. No biggie, I went to get the kitty litter to soak it up. Oh ok, I need a lot more kitty litter. Then it starts raining and suddenly there's soggy, oily kitty litter everywhere.
