Rocket layout question

Post by CapnCrunch »

My eyes aren't what they used to be. Do B3 and B4 connect at the junction of R15 and R16?

Yes and no. B+3 connects to R15 and R16.
BUT, B+4 connects to R6 (plates of V1 and V2)

Thanks Ron,

The way it is drawn, it appears that B+4 also connects to R15 and R16. That didn't make much sense to me, but that's what is drawn.

I will connect only B+3 to R15 and R16 and run B+4 directly to R6.

Thanks again.

As you can see, they are different colored wires, it just happens that the B+4 wire is drawn under the R15 / R16 connection point. That will be corrected once I complete a Visio version of this layout.

Hey Ron,

No complaints here. The TW documentation is first rate. Like I said above, this confused me, so I thought I would ask. Thanks for all the work you've put into the layouts, schematics and BOM's. Now, could you make an appearance on the Dumble side of the site and whip those guys into shape? :P

I really want to build a Dumble, but I can't seem to locate everything I need in terms of documentation (in fairness I haven't tried in a while). It seems to be spread over hell's half acre.......
