Hmmm I think I posted it many moons ago, but it is probably lost in he long thread. Here it is. I have an improved version, but this one works just fine.

Thanks!
On first glance I think there may be an undefined variable or two, though I didn't really look that hard. I'll have to reboot my computer into Windows to really go to town on this. All I really needed is the code to write data to the PGA2311 so I didn't have to read through the datasheet and figure it out. Timing diagrams give me a head ache.

Re: "Perch" layout
that would be great !
I'll be awaiting your tests

Russ White said:Ok so I created a perch on which to nest up to 8 kooks. Hre is the layout. I will make one and test it with a stero channel and a subwoofer amp. Lets see how she flies.
Anyway if it works I may be willing to make a couple (self etched) for one or two people if any of you guys are seriously interested in making a go of it.
board size is 1.5" x 4"
Cheers!

Hi Russ and Brian:
Here I am, still waiting for the TX's to arrive.
While I wait, I want to ask you a question (I'm sure I saw the answer somewhere but can't find it now).
To connect Kookaburra to My-ref the output buffer from Kook could be obviated, right?
If so, where do you connect the outputs or where do you put jumpers?
Thankz
Mauricio

Yes it can, You really only need the output buffer for loads less than 600ohm.
I will post a photo of where to put the jumper as soon as I get home where I have them. I am at work right now.
Notice that on the PCB silkscreen there are two white lines between two pins on both sides of the output buffer. Just use a piece of wire or discraded resistor lead to jumper those two holes on each side.
Cheers!

maxlorenz said:OK, Brian, that helped too.
Can I let the SMD opamp in place?
Sorry
M.
No you should not leave it in place.
:EDIT: unless you want to cut the power supply traces at the buffer pads. Which would eliminate the posibility of using the output buffer later.
Re: An idea gone wild
hi,
how are those tests going with the multi kook perch and power supply?
i wonder if I can use different values voor those pots, how much effect would it have if i put 20k pots instead of the 25k pots?
the reason would be: to find motorised pots of 25 k is a pain, but 10k and 20k are easily available by alps
greetz
PS does anyone know where i can find more info on the panasonic motorised pots? can seem te find the available values
Russ White said:So for each pot header you would attach a 25K pot. And for the mast volume you would use a 10K pot.

Russ White said:The value of the pot are not critical, just need to be high enough so that when in parallel they don't overload the buffer. A buffer after the "master" pot is important. 20K should be just fine.
What about the Kook as is NOT muti, can a 10 or 20K motorized pot be used? Because I sure can't find a motorized 5K!!!!!
