  • I've got my controller boards working pretty well now with the digital attenuators.  I like the larger one because it has a really nice feel as you turn the volume knob (...yes I see it ). I went

I used the IRC thin film with .1% tolerance.

Here's the actual values and part numbers.

Cool! Are you still able to put me in for 2 bare boards and relays in addition to my two completed boards?

I can do the extra boards. I could also do extra assemblies, but I don't have extra relays only.

Ok, I'll take 2 extra boards only then. These will go to storage in case I have some use in the future. Please let me know how much for the extra 2 boards. Is the shipping cost of the 2 assembled boards enough to include these?

Great news...

I've completed testing on the board. I checked both relay by relay switching and did a listening test using a rotary encoder. Everything was just fine :prettyprincess:

The rest of the boards were put in for manufacturing and once they are back, we can start the assembly process as well.

I'll keep everyone posted as we go.

Perfect! :D

Would you mind telling me how you setup the power supply? Did you have a separate transformer for each 3V, 5V and 12V supply, or do they all tap into a 12V transformer?

I'm using an Arduino Uno board. I'm taking the 5V power straight off of the USB port. The board has an on board 3.3V regulator as well as a 3.3V output.

I supplied the 12V directly to the board making sure that I tied the digital grounds together (not the analog ground).

Here's a quick picture of my down and dirty setup.

The 3.3V on the attenuator board is either 3.3V or 5V

to match the different cpu drive voltages. In most

cases you can use 5V and still drive it with a 3.3V cpu.

Sounds good. One other question though, what voltage does the 4D system LCD run on?

  • Author

4D is a 3.3 volt system, but is also 5 volt pullup tolerant.

the murata 3.3 volt regulator is a single piece 12v or 5v to 3.3v

converter for $4.

yep, thats the part. its on the dynahipower2 board.

Absolutely dead quiet in terms of any kind of noise.

Switches internally at 500khz. At 1.5 amps of output

current, it should be enough to run just about anything

you would need to control relays etc.

Won't run an I5 at 3ghz :D

Innnteresting. Are you planning on using the same power supply for the KGITSOJC? :D

  • Author

dynahipower2 is going to be the supply for the preamp, trimmed

to +/-24V. BIG PROBLEM, no 4PDT relays anymore. Going to

have to change that board quite a bit.

  • 4 weeks later...

Great news. The boards / assemblies have been shipped and I expect to have them tomorrow.

w00t! hope you post pics :)

That's great to hear. Can't wait to get my paws on them! >:]

Got home too late from work to pick up the package. :palm:

They are in and I will pick it up tomorrow AM.

Excellent!

It'll be the first (non-commercial) pcb I have with more than 4 layers =D

Wow... That's a lot of boards :D

Initial visual inspection looks pretty good.

I'm going to say a prayer that they all work. I've got some extra parts if not.

I'll have a chance to test some later this evening. I'll post some results as well.

That is a big stack of boards. I'm already thinking I should have bought an extra pair... =)

I have a couple of extra boards if you need. Let me know.
