Muller Dynamo

[Scorch]

Completed building one of the main sub-assemblies.
Decided not to use hot melt glue, as suggested by the manufacturer, because the capacitors kept coming loose.
I secured capacitors simply by bending the tabs over; resulting in a much stronger attachment to the mounting plate.
Also decided to hard solder the connections versus the twisted/crimped version as suggested by the instructions.

That is all.

hello Scorch,
do you can check your's MP, thank you, Marc

Hey all. I haven't been doing much lately due to other distractions.
But still moving forward with the current two projects of the Q2 kit and mini dynamo.
Word has it there is about to a 'Q3' but I don't know what that is going to be.

And I have, recently, discovered jnaudin's Arduino Pulsed Motor Controller.
Which could be very useful considering it does appear to have parameters for changing pulse width, and/or timing, based on rpm.

Now that, is a very nice video.

I just picked up a Mega board the other day. They dont carry the lcd with the buttons in the store, just checked, but they will order it for you.

Radioshack is not going to carry this stuff any longer. The guy says nobody is buying. You can order, but it was convenient to get 'today' when you need something. So all the stuff on the shelf is all there will be in the stores.

The stores do carry the 2.8 color touchscreen. Just under $50. Just picked one up. Maybe I can substitute it for the lcd/button board. The touch screen module stacks on the platform the same way. Picked up an SD card module and a Arduino Micro for other things. And finally the ARDX kit. It shows basics, but it has some useful parts and wires with encased ends and seem of decent quality. It has a clear case proto board that glows when the Arduino Micro is mounted in as the blue led is in the bottom and a small green led on the top.

Not saying it will just work as a substitute. Programming will need to be adapted.
