Wow, things have been going pretty good with this SMPS project. A lot of things are moving forward. I picked up a cabinet that I can use to house the power supply. I also received the 3 printed circuit board designs back from OSH Park this week and started building the PWM controller, drivers and primary […]

If you’ve been following along in my previous post on my Large Switched DC Power Supply (Log 1, Log 2) then you know what has gone on with the project so far. Progress on the argon laser DC power supply is slowly advancing, any good project can take a while when working under budget and […]

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 […]

Arduino Inductance Testing
In yesterday’s post about the progress on my big switch mode supply I mentioned that I was going to try building an Arduino based inductance meter based on the basic and straight forward design from Shadi Soundation. I built the meter later in the evening. It seemed to work okay, but the numbers seemed odd when […]

Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Project Log 1
I’m in need of a large DC power supply for an argon laser and other projects. Argon lasers require tons of DC power to produce minimal amounts of output power, thus the power supply needs to be pretty beefy and durable. I also like building things and having projects to work on to help keep […]
