    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Coming from your neck of the woods, I'll assume it won't be until this weekend or next week before I see anything.
 
Nothing yet. I would not expect it here before next week.
Will let you know when it arrives.
 
Mine came today!

Looks nice. Any suggestions for drilling the holes? or is it just straight forward?

Duck into an electronics store (Radio Shack for you guys maybe?) and they should have drill bits perfectly suited to drilling PCB's.

Use a hand drill and you should be laughing...

Arrived this morning. Thanks a million!:)
It is professionally done and really a good gift from your side!
 
I only today saw this thread for the first time. Excellent. Any chance you would make up another run of these circuit boards?

Kokar, just some feedback. I have installed the parts and wires, just need to fit some standoffs for the heatsink, as I am "folding" it back under the PCB making it thicker, but resulting in a smaller footprint.
I have not tested it yet.
Thanks again!

Sorry forgot the unwritten rules :cry:

Here it is. The idea is to fit the heat-sink parrallel with the board on the solder side, with some standoffs or an insulator strip. This will keep the size down. Once tested I will add some silicone to the high components.

Your circuit work is nice and neat there Andre, my hands shake too much doing fiddly stuff to get things that neat... wish I had your steady hands!
 
@Matchless
i think that the capacitor ( the blue ) is not for 400v
after the final test, don't forget the risin......

Pete,
The trick is to keep the left and right hand shakes synchronised and heavily rely on the following, these fit over my glasses! ;)

Kokar,
I hope they are as that it says so on the marking. They also looked physically a bit small to me.
