Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Your question sounds like one of frustration.
The information you give is a bit vauge.(bit like why didnt my car start last Tuesday??)
What voltages do you read on the outputs of each opamp.
Then what voltages do you get when adjusting the high side. Is there a difference?
What is your battery voltage?

A quick look at the schematic i question if the resistors on the base pin of the BD139 transistor are shown around the right way.
I will leave that to be answered by someone more fluent with this circuit.

Pete.

Sometimes it just works
