when i wire up the 1st ckt with the 4 diodes, and connect my osciliscope to the out put pins... (no resistor or caps ) just to the scope... it doesnt come out with a full wave rectified but only a half wave, which i get if i just use 1 diode in series...which is the 2nd image
whats going on?
im using a variac to supply 12v AC down from 240ac...
All i want is a fully rectified signal... i dont even know where to GROUND my caps... if ground it to the EARTH LEAD it sends my signal down to zero and 1 diode gets VERY HOT...
HELPPPPP
