OH that's a whole lot tidier than mine! I must admit I'm enjoying hacking something together rather than trying to be perfect on this one, but yours is awesome!Quote:

Now I have to wire it up, copper tape and test again

A quick and dirty calc indicates about 150mA for 12 hours draw on an AA alkaline, so worst case should be 300mA if the batteries are in parallel, not series (unlikely). So you’ll be fine with the 2A output.
You’re almost there and it’s looking good.
Thank you Simon!Quote:

Looking very good there, and at least you didn't have to cut all the way through the body to fit the speaker. And you have a built in effects unit. :)
This is great!
enough for tonight, the wiring is all done and tested, I just have to squeeze it all away tidily!
