  1. I'm looking to add an arduino to control my dac.  I'm not worried so much about writing code as that's already done and proven to work for others.  This whole platform is new to me.  I can see that the initial scrpt or program is the .ino file and that will contain commands as well as references to libraries but I'm not sure how to put this altogether in Arduino IDE to upload it to the Arduino Due.


    I purchased this display for the project
    https://www.buydisplay.com/5-inch-tft-display-arduino-touch-shield-ssd1963-library-for-mega-due


    There is a download with examples in it here
    https://www.buydisplay.com/arduino/Libraries-Examples_ER-TFTM050-4.zip


    I want to test the 480x272 demo.  I see the ino file and have downloaded the UTFT library and added it to Arduino IDE.


    Do I open the ino file in sketch then include the UTFT library and complile then upload?  Or am I missing steps?

    If adding features to the board might I suggest a fuse?  Not sure if this is a one-off and not worth bothering, but sometimes a chassis just doesn't lend itself to the somewhat monstrous integrated IECs that have both voltage switching and fuse provisions.  That's what made me think of it anyway. 

    For me it'd be cool to do the voltage switch.  I have enough room for an IEC inlet with a fuse.  Let me measure to see how long the board can be

    if you rotate the left transformer 180 degrees, makes the high voltage wires a lot shorter.

    My only thinking was to have AC in on the left so the wires are very short to the front panel switch and then the secondaries are facing the AC in on the PSU boards.  Basically just keeping the wiring as short and neat as possible.  Is that creating more of a problem with noise the way it is?

  3. Ok, excuse my crude drawing but this is my idea for a basic dual side by side layout.  The AC in and out would just be the normal terminal block we all use. 5.08mm pitch with a 1.3 mm hole.  I use 4-40 stand offs so the holes would be 3.26 mm or there abouts.  Not sure what size hole is usually standard for that.

    For the transformer pin spacing and hole size I circled the 25, 35, and 50 VA models, the specs are in the chart.  I was looking to do those three.  Let me know what you think.

  4. Does anyone have or know where I can find a board that would let me mount a single or side by side Amveco PC mount low profile toroidial transformers?  I'm just looking for a board that would have AC in and out going to terminal blocks and allow the use of standoffs.

    If not, I'd gladly pay someone for their time to lay out a board for me.  Something like the pic in here
