I got what I was looking for, sorta
Well,
I put together a darlington and put it onthe board.
now, I connect the 0.5V test voltage, trim V1 and the led comes on.
then I adjust V2 to get the 1.0V output.
works fine,
BUT
when I trim the test voltage back below 0.5V, the LED stays lit and the board keeps putting out 1.0V.
I also tested the board with the IC removed and got the led to light dimly @ 0.75V.
So I'm now thinking the IC is bad,
miller time for sure
Let me say to those reading this thread; there is no doubt in my mind that I damaged the problem parts myself, I am completely inexperienced at soldering and my issues should not deter anyone from getting Redmeanie's kits, they are top-notch!
