Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Log 5 – Cabinet
Work continues on the cabinet for the large switch mode power suppy (SMPS) for the big argon laser I’m working on. In the last couple of weeks since my last post I’ve done a lot of work in getting the old HP cabinet cleaned up, painted and new equipment installed. This is a mega-update for […]

Large Switched DC Power Supply For Argon Laser Project Log 4
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 […]

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 […]
