Lords of the Ring

[joe dirt]

Hello G.K.

Man I am strapped for cash and out of time,   this is a noble effort, burden is
  heavy but I am out of the game...   so to the treadmill for me, hoping the
  chains rest lightly

I,ll check in every so often but R&D has come to a halt for me and doesn,t look
  like I,ll be able to pick it back up for a while...

Good Journey to all
Dirt

Hi gang

Reading some of the notes from way back when they went from tubes to IC they used a specially rated board and the IC?s were raised this was to reduces the effect of noise from
The ring itself.

Sorry for jumping in it seemed like it would help
Keep it up looks good and its been great reading along

Timely and positive. Thanks.

I finally figured out the heat problem on this first little board. Now it runs on 8ma instead of 110ma. By getting the drive signal close as possible to the fet alleviates minor noise triggering. The fet conducts and this increases the current draw. Only by 1ma though. But still, I am the perfectionist here. LOL.
I have to thank the pc hero diatribe that went on in the other thread. It was a great disruptor to my 'target aquisition' focus. I got lost in the forest. The heat problem was because I had soldered the gate signal to the incorrect pin on the Max612 fet driver. Oh the humility and shame of it all... At least my dogs don't scold me. I haven't taught them electronics yet.

So with the board tested I can move on and build the last 3. 4? Fet boards. I have other coils to test. 3 or 4 segments, I don't think it matters. Just different kick timing. Oh yeah...

This one is for the pc heroes. Enjoy.
