Hi,
Bit confused with the placement of these diodes.

The finished board photo 1.jpg (attached) shows black bar on diode
pointing to the left.

But the silkscreen placement 2.jpg (attached) shows that the diodes black bar should pointing to the right , doesnt it ?.

Thanks.

Yes, the diodes are installed backwards.
But maybe the symbol on the silkscreen is backwards instead.
Double-check with the schematic.
 
Yes, didnt think of looking at that schematic.
Seems like the placement is right , (finished photo is wrong).

Part of sch is attached (3.jpg).

Looks like they photo'd a finished board ,that wouldnt have worked anyway.
Ah well , the joys of electronics eh.

Thanks & regards.
