Brilliant. I think you are the first person that I have seen on this forum who has actually built the unit and made the associated comments about various parts that need to be changed or put off the PCB.
Did you suffer from this 0V adjust problem with the original cct or is it just...
redwire - thanks fo ryour feedback.
I prefer not to auto-route on Eagle as I dont like the way it places tracks. A double sided is fine for me as I just use jumpers for the top layer, adjusting the via diameter for current.
Noted on your heatsinks and wire sizes, and diode and ECB...
Holt - many thanks for your response. Points are noted. Keep me posted on your developments.
As I said I have not even got around to routing the PCB but I have managed to do the schematic in Eagle 5.0. At least that is a start.:)
redwire - thanks for the tip. I saw the additional options but didn't open it. I was looking in the icons above the message box.
You presumably have built this PSU. When I eventually get around to routing the PCB and buying the TXs are there any points to look out for ?
I noted in the list of...
Exactly.That is how i do it all the time for making prototypes. You just have to remember to keep the top layer "jumpers" straight else you will be soldering in some weird looking wires. If you have to go around a corner then use top-straight, bottom-angled and the top-straight again.
Also...
shoaibasghar - i am busy making the PSU myself. My suggestion, if you have not got the facility to make DSPCB, is to route the board in Eagle on the copper side only and to use top layer tracks as "jumpers". This works well. They must be straight however.
audioguru - thanks for the reply. must be a mistake in the forum as i read every page on the lab psu and one article mentioned D15. Perhaps a different project.
I have just started with this project and am reading up on all the alternations/changes that have been made but I can't find "D15". Am I missing something in the schematics ?
