I did, only thing left is to recheck the wires for broken ones (i had one that beep on continuity test but didnt work) and breadboard itself i see nothing else that can be an issue, since my circuit is correct | |

It may seem a silly question, but have you double- and triple-checked all your connections? | |
| Apr 25, 2016 at 13:58 | comment | added | Predrag Beocanin | I just figured 6v safe, but I'll increase it to 7. I did start with 330 and went all the way up to 1k resistors without results. The pots are 4.7k trimmers, original design said 10k, but I had none at hand. They are hooked to A5 and A6 which are initialised as inputs yes | |
