F5 Turbo Circuit Boards

[Nikitas]

Can we have the traces in some kind of format with each layer separate for us poor homebrewers?

 

[Nikitas]

What is going on with this thread?

 

[AudioSan]

not much. we are all waiting for the store to get the boards for sale

 

[Nikitas]

But there's no reply from variac or toecutter since two(?) months ago...

 

[AudioSan]

i know. i'm waiting for the new outbut boards.
but i am wondering if i just gonna cut the boards i have.
it is time to start building soon

 

[Nikitas]

Exactly! I'm also waiting the parts from Buzzforb's gb. Currently trying to decide on ps/transformer and enclosure. Have you decided yet?

I hope they release gerbers for the boards, or a pdf with separate layers....

 

[AudioSan]

yes i have 6x33.000uF CRC supply and 2x32V 600VA transformer pr monoblock.
chassis i will build my self. with 2x 10.080" profil pr side from heatsinkUSA
i allready got the sinks and caps.

 

[buzzforb]

The GB parts are ready with the exception of the Fukushima resistors and Nichicon Caps. THe Fukushima should be here in about 2 weeks. NIchicon have me worried. If they get here at same time as Fukushima, then all will be ready just in time to go with fets.

 

[Nikitas]

good news buzz!
So, the only thing left to wait are the toshiba fets. do we have any word from them?

 

[buzzforb]

There coming as well.

Awesome, it is nice when a plan comes together! Thanks Buzzforb and others to make this happen.
GB's rock!

I guess Toecutter just got tired of all the advice. On the other hand I know he is a really busy guy so maybe he just had to stop DIY'ing for a while.
Too bad as I thought we had a real nice set of boards. Haven't heard a word from him and I've tried to contact him.
Since there were some that didn't have confidence in the PSU boards I suggested we just start with the 3 amp boards, but again, no response.

All I need are the files to send them in.

But still....it's been two months. I hope he is alright!
As Rom-a movie character said: We hungry.....

 

[buzzforb]

Most folks do not know what goes into pulling together a GB or designing a board to suit all.

I thought DIYstore had F5t boards being done ...?

Also Toecutter had test boards made up and they were sent out, has anyone finish testing boards , I guess boards were taken with no return info..

Toe may be frustrated over this .... No return effort !!!!

 

[Nikitas]

Buzz, don't get aggressive, and don't get me wrong.

I was just making fun/talking.

Also I noticed what a.wayne said, no feedback(NFB hehehe), unless of course that was done via pm or emails.

 

[Variac]

We were ready to go, then someone found an issue with one of the boards, which Toecutter fixed, then there was an ongoing discussion about the PSU boards.

 

[buzzforb]

I was not being aggressive at all and I am not upset at all. I am happy to do the GB. Just pointing out the fact that a lot of work goes unseen. Just trying to be encouraging to ToeCutter's efforts. NO offense intended and none taken.

I understand the "backstage" work required, I just hope this project sees the light of day.

Cheers to all the participants!
