but here is the link that I should have included the first time
https://www.electro-tech-online.com/attachments/combo-hot-png.44892/This is so small that it is unreadable.
after several hours of the project just sitting w/o power it will still sound as it should LOUD.
I must have maybe discharged the mosfet??
Anyway it works now
The input is a PIC and the output is connected to a piezo tweeter horn.
would love to know why the dang project now works just by placing a DMM probe on the Source pin on the N mosfet.
