Dear Steve,

yes - another good option. I personally use the services from schaeffer-ag.de
Any news about your new location - profile still shows London? Timezone? :radar:

BR, Toni

Sorry I completely missed this. We are still camped out in Vero Beach FLorida while we search for a house in Miami. Our household shipment arrived and cleared customs at Miami port but alas will go into storage for awhile.
 
Dear Steve,

good to hear from you! Hopefully you will soon find a house to be able to finish your SA2014 amplifier 😀. Think this will be the first known SA2014 build/finished in the USA!

Nice. The external supply could power the MCU as well. When are you going to integrate the MCU into your back panel? 😉
 
Thanks!

New "mains inrush control" pcb: I2C library ported to pic16f1829.

Prototype is working:

  • able to detect and feed data to LCD display
  • able to detect and read up to 8 additional LM75 temperature sensors
  • WIP for MCP23008 and MCP23016 port expanders

Hi Toni,may i ask a question?
Is my housekeeping board compatible with this one in the LCD usage?

Dear Thimios,

unfortunately not but is no problem because the LCD variant is only a proof of concept. currently of no use.

Toni,

are you sure you'll have access to the fuses on the lower board after this stacking? I suppose there has to be a clearance of 35-40 mm between the upper edge of the empty fuse holders and the upper board (for 5x20 mm fuses, of course).

Best regards!

Low profile capacitors gives the opportunity for stacked power supplies.
A lot of room saved for other boards.
Good work Toni!😉

Dear Kay,

thx! Maybe never a SS relay because of added nonlinear distortions. Here I use Panasonic JJM1a or JJM1 with high current contacts with very low resistance.
