(audioguru) @ www.rapidelectronics.co.uk i am unable to get a 30pF capacitor the ones they have are 27pF and 33pF. i am also unable to get the 5-36pF capacitor the ones they have are 5-30pF, 5.2-30pF and 5.5-65pF which should i get?
thank you

30pF isn't a preferred value, you should be able to use either 27pF or 33pF in it's place. As for the preset, either of the two lower value ones will do.
 
I stole some small ceramic caps from old radios and telephone answering machines. Anywhere near the values I used will work OK.
I was lucky to buy some ultra-miniature ceramic trim-caps, but the normal small plastic ones will be OK.

Try making it with very short wiring. Another guy reported that his didn't work. It looked like this:

im sorry to keep being so anoying
but i cant get LM2931A5.0 and i really dont know what alternative to use
sorry and thank you again.
 
All semiconductor manufacturers make low-dropout 5V positive series regulators.
 
Here are the specs and datasheet. I used an LM2931AZ5.0 and the "Z" is the small transistor package. Its max current is 100mA.

100mA fixed voltage regulators – 78L/79L series
Miniature fixed voltage regulators with internal overload, thermal and short circuit protection.

this is okay isnt it?
 
A 78L05 "ordinary" voltage regulator needs at worst case a minimum input of 8V to regulate properly. A 9V battery drops to 6V over its life and would be too low for the "ordinary" regulator.
My "low-dropout" regulator needs at worst case a minimum input of 5.6V to regulate properly so works fine until the battery is dead.

Aren't you in the UK? I checked Farnell and they don't have the one I used.
 
im not too botherd about battery life but would it still work for a litle while atleast?
last question i promise
