Lockshot said:Wow, thanks alot! So it should be 47-100ohm resistor 0.5W ?
IanP said:Your 5k potentiometer can conduct current of up to 10mA - absolute maximum - and here at the very end the current exceeds that value ..
With additional small resistor in series with it, it should work fine .. see attached picture ..

Keith, no, I am not sure, I/we can only speculate and try to point out the likely reason or reasons ..Ian, are you sure that is correct? That was my first thought but then I had doubts.
Cool down, have one half working then do the other half ..If i try it with ~<3k omh resistors. They just blow up.
Lockshot said:Yes, on breadbord. Im a bit confused now, i replaced R1 and R3 with 240ohm resistors, and one half seemed to work good. Tried with different resistors to see output voltage, then tried with potentiometer. Everything worked fine. When i tried it with other half, i had the same problems as before. Rechecked schematic like 5 times and everything was connected correctly...
Yes ..Lockshot said:Nope, wiring is correct. Could it be that some part is burnt?
.. i'm lost here ..Lockshot said:When my pot smoked, i saw sparkling between pot pins, and there were still 30V output, even if i unplugged it.
