mini maraca cracker

I recently locked in and did a tonne (kinda forgot to post a bit) But I started designing a case in fusion 360 (FreeCad stinks) I also put screw terminals on the side with a DC barrel jack for power input

I’ve kept myself busy! I’ve soldered in the socket and part of the right channel, the rest of the circuit’s parts have been pushed in and I will solder them in the morning. additionally I have soldered up left / right RCA jacks and a volume knob out of two trimpots vertically mounted and attached with a board at the top.

This is all going surprisingly well considering the complexity of building a dual-channel amplifier with just the datasheet’s schematic to go off of!

My goal for this project is to build a small high power amplifier that also doesn’t look trash and start fires. BUT STILL PLAYS SCARLET FIRE

I just dropped $50 NZD at jaycar for parts for this project 💀

somehow I managed to perfectly assemble one channel just out of following the datasheet’s example schematic, I know I’m amazed too but miracles happen! attached is the schematic I was using and a picture of what I built
