Yes I understand . Thanks for the input
I will definatly keep that in mind when I test it in the amp
I'm still in experimental stage. This is the first time I am using a regulator IC strictly as a current limiter.
This is just testing..... nothing is set in stone...nothing is put in the amp.
But things are progressing in the right direction..
I can have a regulated voltage.
I can control current .
Next step would be to see exactly what its doing and how its functioning
I don't have any variable resistors that are the right value and size right now unfortunatly, so I am using fixed resistors. Once I have the pots then I can adjust as needed.
I think I might just try testing it in the amp next......hook it up to the amp...run it for a bit while watching what its doing on the scope. I'll just monitor bias current draw and voltage while I check out the waveform. Then at least I will have more info as to how its presently functioning and what it needs before I do anything else.
I really need to see how this thing is functioning before I make changes.
I need some parts and more time to do it also.
I will let you know what its doing when I finally get around to testing it in the amp. Your probably right about raising the limit though...I just need to check it out whats going on first before I do anymore changes.
Thanks for the input Crusher and Bob... your opinion and thoughts are always welcome.
