Yet another Volume controlers and source selections

Still don't get it right
the gain of my preamp is to high so when the volume is 0 there is still a lot of sound
i have the regular board of vicol with 6 relais

want to make the steps bigger to reduce the volume

I have try the calculator of JvE Logarithmic Attenuator Calculator

1.5 dB steps
10k 10k 6.8k 4.7k 3.3k 1.5k
39R 680R 3.3k 10k 27k 56k 10k


2.0 dB steps
10k 10k 8.2k 5.6k 3.9k 2.2k
6.8R 270R 1.8k 6.8k 18k 39k 10k

what do i wrong

if I use the Jos calculator, your board is 10K use 6 relais 1 db attenuation
then the resistor value are;

10k 8.2k 5.6k 3.9k 2.2k 1k
270R 1.8k 6.8k 18k 39k 82k 10k

if i compare it to your value it's totally different
could you please explane

which steps must i do to get it work right on your board

thanks

The values are pretty the same, depends only the reference in/out which is reversed.
For 1dB step attenuation and 63dB total attenuation, you must have:
R30 - 1K
R31 - 82K
R32 - 2K5
R33 - 47K
R34 - 5K8
R35 - 27K
R36 - 15K
R37 - 16K
R38 - 53K
R39 - 11K
R40 - 390K
R41 - 10K


For 1,5dB step attenuation and 95dB total attenuation, you must have:
R30 - 1K8
R31 - 68K
R32 - 3K9
R33 - 33K
R34 - 10K
R35 - 22K
R36 - 33K
R37 - 15K
R38 - 150K
R39 - 10K
R40 - 2M7
R41 - 10K

However I suggest you to go for something in between and choose 1,2dB step attenuation for a total of 76dB, which I believe will be more than OK.
R30 - 1K5
R31 - 82K
R32 - 3K3
R33 - 39K
R34 - 6K8
R35 - 22K
R36 - 22K
R37 - 15K
R38 - 82K
R39 - 12K
R40 - 820K
R41 - 10K

My project is finished now and partially working. Not tested yet the remote control part but so far the most annoying thing is that the LCD backlight is not working. When i'm shorting E and C of transistor that is responsible with backlight i have light. Also on the pic 17 of uC wich is triggering the transistor i'm not measuring any change with DMM. I have tried all software and same result, not backlight. Any ideas ?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
