  Code won't load onto my luna mod. Here's what it says: "Error-hardware not found". Anyone else have that problem?

• LunaMod goes into beep mode
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  Hello, I've finally finished my LunaMod and have a weird problem. The Picaxe code loaded correctly once I selected the 08M2 models number. When I turn it on it will work for a little while, but then goes into a beeping mode. Just "beep" "beep" "beep" with about a 1 second interval.If I fiddle with the knobs it will start working again for a while but then go back into "beep" mode. Any ideas? I've checked the circuit board for shorts. I'm guessing something with the capacitors.

• Minor typo in the schematic

  FYI: It appears the labels Tempo and Sound are reversed on the schematic.
  
  It's not a bit issue, but if you were hoping to replace the Sound pot with an photo resistor, for example, you might not get the results you expected.

  I found a link to a schematic that doesn't include the programming input: http://www.instructables.com/files/orig/FGE/IKDL/GAKTU7C8/FGEIKDLGAKTU7C8.pdf

• Luna Mod program file

  When I went to get the program file off the link up there ^ I realised that there wasn't as much writing there as it shows in the original article and it only used 60 bytes out of 256 instead of 81 in the article. Should i be concerned?

  Heres a link to my Luna Mod made via these plans. Great build, had lots of fun. Repackaging it to fit into a new, very cool, enclosure now. Thanks

• 08m2 chip instead of 08m?
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  I'm new to picaxe and just got together all the stuff for this project. I have a 08m2 chip though instead of the listed 08m. Will the 08m2 work? If it needs different code does anybody have it?

• Toggle Switch
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  If I'm not mistaken, you only need a Single-Pole-Single-Throw switch for this project. So whether you have the switch with 2 contacts or 3 doesn't matter. Just put them in the right place. I can't remember the horizontal, but the vertical will have contacts at 2 and 3. It's been a while since I've worked on this, so you may want to look at the circuit to make sure. Either 1 or 3 goes nowhere.

  The radio shack toggle switch I got only has two pins. Should pin 3 go into 14,1 or 14,3?

  article says:
  pin1 to 3,5
  pin3 to 3,3
  
  what about pin2? am i supposed to cut it?

  I also just got done soldering and putting together my board, and when I loaded the software, got the same error:
  
  "symbol Sw_Write = pin3 ;write switch
  ^
  
  Error: Unknown symbol - pin3"
  
  Does anyone out there know what this means?

  my compiler bombs out on the first line of code:
  "symbol Sw_Write = pin3 ;write switch
  Error: Unknown symbol - pin3"
  Any hints?

  What voltage do you need for the 10nF and 100nF capacitors?

• Luna Mod to External Speaker?
  You must be logged in to reply.
  
  
  I modded the mod a bit and fit a single 8ohm 0.5 watt speaker into my case and would like to have the option to listen to the luna on this speaker in case i don't have the opportunity to plug it into a proper amp. I used a 2 conductor mono jack that shuts off the speaker when it is plugged in and this all works fine... however the speaker is way too quiet. How can i add a super simple and cheap amp to my speaker that is powered by the same 9volt battery? It would be nice to have some volume control but I would settle for just 'louder'. Thanks!

  What voltage/amperage would you suggest so you can plug the Luna Mod in to the wall?

• Luna Mod Audio Jack

  Does the audio output jack have to be mono, or is there a way (without doing it the way it is in the design and getting an adaptor) to hook it up to stereo headphones?
