yup. start teaching your kids or grandkids chinese... they have more honor students than we have students, it's coming.

Heard from Louise Wong that both of my boards have shipped!  I got both the 01 and the 02. (The entire boards this time)

All of my garden light Chicom JT circuits are of the black blob variety.  A single resistor and the black blob....that is it.

This should be fun since you guys seem to know how I can use these boards.

2 bifilar Jule Thief coils twisted into a spiral air core torus will output inverted A.C current from the secondary coil at twice the voltage of the pulsed D.C input to the primary. Two skiens of Radio Shack 2 wire speaker wire works well for this kind of A.C. Jule Thief Quadfilar.

i heard from the company yesterday so it looks like i will be getting one of the 3002 boards and a bunch of other stuff i didn't need.. the more the better i think..

Thanks guys for posting the lead to the sample TS3001/TS3002 PWM boards. I plan to interface these to the joule ringer circuit with the fuji transformer to see what extended battery time can be added. Next, I plan to use the "Yellow Transformer", I found in an old RAY-O-VAC Magnum flasher/lantern, in the circuit to see how that works. Thanks to b_rads for posting a link in the Joule Ringer thread about using that transformer config. I think LaserSaber's idea of a bifiler primary on a transformer and wiring it in a joule thief configuration might have possibility?

I'm new so I have a thirst for input and it's like a sponge.
