DIY Printed Circuit Board With Solder Mask – Part 1

I’ve been working on a project and needed a prototype printed circuit board to get the project looking a little more finished and less of a mess of wires on a prototyping board. I decided to use the photo sensitive method for the PCB as well as for the solder mask with reasonable results. I […]

Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Project Log 2

Things have been moving along pretty well with my giant switch mode power supply project since Project Log 1. I sold a bunch of surplus items I’ve had sitting around in order to buy a bunch of the components I needed for the build, but there’s still a lot more I need. This selling is […]

Web Based Circuit Simulation

I’ve been working on a project lately which involves building a large switch mode power supply in the range of 220 volts at 35 amps. Because components are expensive at those power levels I decided to go searching for a simulator that was easy to get started with, offered the basic components I needed and […]
