However, I then decided to add an output indicator off the negated output of the AD8561 comparator chip I was using. After adding this, both outputs of the comparator remain low and the LED is on all of the time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;When I drop out R6, the 10k resistor to the pnp transistor base, the circuit starts to work again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Anybody have any ideas what I am doing wrong? The only thing I can think of doing is to increase the size of R6, I had originally calculated this as 14k for a 1mA base current, but from my limited selection, 10k was the closest I had.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;I also find that when turned on, the MOSFET has a resistance of 780 ohms, which seems a little high to me?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/620x427/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/223/2671.contentimage_5F00_104518.png"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/discussions/components/files/223/2671.contentimage_104518.png-620x427.png?sv=2016-05-31&amp;amp;sr=b&amp;amp;sig=79H%2FiFVU4IMZMd2m2ejFk1q6EoQf%2FdfFYmPU%2BFa724E%3D&amp;amp;se=2026-05-17T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;amp;sp=r&amp;amp;_=QECpi9JFGI6wDELrCLh5qA==" style="max-height: 427px;max-width: 620px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/616x411/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/223/6866.contentimage_5F00_104519.jpg"&gt;&lt;img loading="lazy" alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/discussions/components/files/223/6866.contentimage_104519.jpg-616x411.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&amp;amp;sr=b&amp;amp;sig=BAhj6lJuKYdvJxJo8eSnPVl9kivoCSu4bb%2Fe6Iv0I5k%3D&amp;amp;se=2026-05-17T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;amp;sp=r&amp;amp;_=oZszOIt8Oh9vAF0LOknQNw==" style="max-height: 411px;max-width: 616px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;Kind regards&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>BK1103A Switch Help</title><link>https://community.element14.com/thread/9261?ContentTypeID=0</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Oct 2018 17:53:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7d0a4a16-613c-4c4d-b4f3-ef554d45f274</guid><dc:creator>kas.lewis</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://community.element14.com/thread/9261?ContentTypeID=0</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/test-instrumentation/f/forum/9261/bk1103a-switch-help/rss?ContentTypeId=0</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;I recently bought a second hand function generator and after checking it out it all appears to work well except for some of the switches. I was therefore hoping someone may be able to help me identify the make and model of the used switches. If I can replace them then I will have a perfectly good function generator, well minus the calibration (1993...)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;padding:0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.element14.com/resized-image/__size/1200x900/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/223/contentimage_5F00_103106.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="https://community-storage.element14.com/communityserver-components-secureimagefileviewer/communityserver/discussions/components/files/223/contentimage_103106.jpg-1200x900.jpg?sv=2016-05-31&amp;amp;sr=b&amp;amp;sig=BjWFmPYN%2FPYolpJC1AArznJMWVjeBVdEt6nSLjmkwDk%3D&amp;amp;se=2026-05-17T23%3A59%3A59Z&amp;amp;sp=r&amp;amp;_=u7jgA+FX8IHSYby46z+arw==" style="max-height: 900px;max-width: 1200px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin:0;"&gt;This is a picture of the switch I &amp;#39;m looking to replace.
