Andy Relay TQ2-L2-5V Problem

[Kinski]

Relay is not working. I don't think its switching at all.

Im using a Takamisawa AL5WN-K Relay and CD4069UBE. That should work, right?

[cylens]

No, it shouldn't! I almost made the same mistake, see this thread: http://guitar-fx-layouts.42897.x6.nabble.com/3PDT-circuit-possible-td32201.html

Haha yeah. No this board needs a dual-coil latching relay, the Takamisawa part is super common and useful in most relay switches but not this one.

[Kinski]

Well, live and learn. I have these from using the 1776 Finish Line relay in the past. Guess I'll order the correct ones.

Trying to make my POG True-bypass and click-less.

Thanks!

[Silver Blues]

Click-less is the way to go

[Kinski]

Yeah, I've been using them on a few recent builds. Really nice!

Hi,
I want to try one of the click-less bypass systems. Their are a few here on the site, and also the pcb from 1776 for example. Which one do you guys prefer? Pcb or vero?
Thanks

I far prefer the Andy Relay being discussed here over pretty much anything else. It works well, isn't expensive and is pretty small.

[Kinski]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to getting this working. Waiting on the correct relays to arrive. The only other ones i've tried is the 1776 Finish Line. Its really great, but gets pricey to use all the time. So I've got high hopes for the Andy Relay!

Although, I'll still use the Finish Line for super tight builds, as the board is only 1 inch x 1 inch!

Hi thanks for the replies! So you guys order these from gosh park? https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/NS84RfbW

[Silver Blues]

Yup exactly. They're reasonably priced and very high quality.
