9 pounds of copper clad printed circuit board ordered.

 

nine pounds??? jeez, you making enough for all of yotatech?

 

Works for me! Just want that spark cut option lol.

 

CNC experimentation is using up a lot of it.

 

Schedule for the next couple weeks.

•Test circuit in actual vehicle (checking for microcontroller stability and no spurious resets/odd behavior)
•Print out PCB on paper and ensure all connections are there
•Verify that components will fit on PCB
•Mill PCB
•Solder components on board
•Figure out an enclosure
•Figure out a display for the LEDs

 

Maybe adding a protection diode for the microcontroller and some noise filtering capacitors for the power stage.

 

Correction, not 9 pounds, it was 9+ pounds.

 

Wow, thats a lot.

 

Where did you get those from?

 

My uncle got them off eBay.

 

ahh I will have to start ordering stuff off of there ahead of time... I keep needing parts and not having them, so i end up running to Radio shack... That place is a freaking ripoff lol

 

If you need a part in a hurry it's nice to be able to run and grab it in town, but yeah they are over priced.

 

Guess I'll start a new page with a picture.

 

Endurance testing, hasn't burned up yet.

 

I thought I was following what you were doing. I guess I'm seriously confused. How are you going to shift with sprinkler valves? Was that part of a valve body upgrade or something?

 

He's using his breadboard (the thing with all the wires and capacitors)
To make a circuit that will flip on and off solenoids using the paddle shifters..
The sprinkler valves are just similar to the style solenoid than what's in the trans.

And i felt so accomplished designing and implementing a full subtractor with XOR gates D:, until i saw this beast of a circuit.

 

Thanks peow. I guess I didn't lay on the sarcasm thick enough. However I really love that someone on this board will always answer your question, no matter how dumb you think it might be. It really is an excellent place to ask and learn without feeling embarrassed with how much you don't know(no sarcasm implied. I really mean it. Thanks!)

 

>.> I couldn't even tell it was sarcasm..
If this was pirate4x4 theres a 67% chance you would have been berated, though.

 

I think 67% is being a little modest.

 

67% of threads on pirate have flaming in them. I DONE THE MATH.
