Please use the e-mail button below rather than post them here. If someone would care to scan them I'll see if I can make any sensible modification. It should be a really quite simple mod...but I could be wrong.

It would be great if you could make some improvements to the circuit. But, I'm sad to say they do not provide schematics with this kit at all. The manual provided with this kit provides absolutely no circuit information. About the only thing I could suggest is to examine the actual circuit board.

If no circuit diagram is available someone could scan/photograph both sides of any PCB along with whatever useful data is in the manual.
The concept of this kit is a good one, it's simple and the end product looks...err, attractive. It's shame that it seems so hit-and-miss operationally. Not a good way to get newcomers interested.

I don't have this kit but if it syncs for some and not for others, the variable factor seems to be either the spacing of sync sensor or whether the sync holes are all 'clean.'
