Hello hello,
OK - so here is my attempt of recreating the schematic on the breadboard (it is not the work I am proudest of 
)...There are couple of things which are puzzling - for example on the original schematic ( http://www.enactiveenvironments.com/wp-content/uploads/SmoothFade-Circuit.png) there was no connection between the 12v and LM317....for some reason I cannot make it in fritzing not to be connected, so there is a bendpoint...Also - on the breadboard image I connected all parts to ground, but I noticed that even when only R1 was connected to ground, the schematics remained "unbroken"...Not sure whether that good or bed...Anyway - I would love to know whether I did the breadboard translation correctly - if you could have a look - that would be beyond fantastic :). Thank you so much in advance! Kasia
