Hey Everybody,
Since my last project in November (which failed horribly), I haven't really encountered something that I think I can handle in terms of my skill level.
Anyway here's the idea:
It's essentially a balance pedal for Guitar, as you rotate a potentiometer the position of a dot moves depending on if the sound is moving left or right.
The problem is that the LM3914 drives 10 LEDs...which means that when the pot is entirely open that the 10th one would be on. But I want it so that it only drives 9 LEDs and the 5th one would be when the pot is in the center.
Any ideas? I've attached what I have so far. I believe that the power supply doesn't have the proper "automatic" battery takeover that I want but I'll most likely just be using a wall-wart for power.
UPDATE: August 8th. New Schematic uploaded. (smaller image too). Still not sure about the trickle-charger but I made an educated guess that that is how it works.
