Videogamecollector123 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Hi, I am having a little trouble with the modified Vectrex lightpen,all the options just flicker on the screen when I put the pen up to it. This is the parts list, I wanted to know if there is anything wrong with it, I'm using the Playvectrex circuit 595-SN74LS132N Quad 2-inp pos-NAND 660-MF1/4LCT52R222J 1/4 WATT 2.2K OHM 5% 660-MF1/4LCT52R103J 1/4 WATT 10K OHM 5% 512-2N3904TF NPN 40V 200mA 594-K103M15X7RF53H5 .2LS .01UF 50V 20% 647-UVZ1C470MDD1TD 47uF 16V 20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Videogamecollector123 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 any help on making this would be appreciated, I've spent a while putting it together and I really want to be able to use it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Videogamecollector123 Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 jpg Those are pictures of the circuit. On closer inspection the lead that connects the Phototransistor to the resistors wasn't soldered on right and was only making intermediate contact, so I'll try soldering it tommorow and see if the results are affected. I also sawed down the tip of the marker to put the transistor closer to the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
