I do not understand what you mean to do, the 470k / 22k ratio establishes the operational gain, what is the switch for?

I can't upload pictures, I don't know why. So my question is to put switch for turning on and off the all unit. Its better for me to not put additional switch, I want one of the potentiometers to be with switch. Which one is better to be with switch?

Thank you France
I will do it.
Best regards

Hi Kaligula,

It's not a good idea, every time you turn it on, you have to find the right setting. It is better to have a separate switch. Anyway 470K or 22K is the same thing.

Best Regards

To use Franco pcb is best way with minimum risk, but nowhere here I couldn't find display stage pcb with 3 led. Because that l purchase this pcb, so we'll see the results. By the way I want to ask administrators why I can't upload.pictures.

All transistors as BC...C, work, "C" is for very high beta (gain). Probably BC ... B types also work. You can measure the transistor beta with the tester, values over 500 are fine.

BC183LC is in the range 450 - 900

BC183LB is in the range 240 - 500

BC183L doesn't exist, it must be LA or LB or LC

No, it's L, I can't upload pictures. In datasheet which I upload there are L, LA, LB, LC. All of them have same pin configuration. It have bigger range 125-900

Anyway the beta must be more than 500.

I have other question. Is it big consumer of elecric power? I plan to use 4 batteries from cell phones with capacity from 1000 to 2000 mAh

I put two variable capacitors from 5p parallel with 15pf, so we'll see the results

BC549B is low noise transistor via 200 ~ 450 hfe.

The absorption is very small, 20 - 40mA, depends on how many leds are used. I recommend two 9V batteries connected in series.

Great, ill use 4 mobile phone batteries from 3.7v and I'll conect them with 4s electronic board for lithium batteries. I'll have around 15v. I finish soldering today, but I'll try tomorrow or some other day. Thanks Franco for your cooperation. To bed is that I can't upload pictures. Is it there some other way?

Good work, as regard to upload pictures, you must read forum rules, for example jpg no more than 1M.
