i have not failed until i stop trying, however its not enough only for mr to believe this i have to get the result from this, please help, is there anyone else you can ask to check over your drawing, like you said sometimes you need someone else to check it over to spot if something is not right, I looked at the page you sent that is only for the step up circuit and to me it doesnt look anything like the 1 you have on your component drawing, but then again i am not a specialist, also that has a different chip in it a max1044 and yours is different but i know theres a logical reason that, i just cant seem to get my head around this, i cant help but think there must be something small not right that I/we missed.
