Wiki Scmicky
The resistor has been periferally mentioned before, but I don't think very well explained (OK , because it is so simple)
The resister is in series in the circuit? ie all the amps run through it? perhaps you should mention how many amps this 10 watter can take. I understand that it is low resistance, so can handle a lot of current.
Is it best between the caps or on one end or the other?
Does it do any screwy stuff with the volts depending on location like the coils? (I doubt it, but best to conider every option!)
I finallly looked at the Wiki yesterday and I would like to set up a secton about the power supply issues that have come up again here. As some of you know, the power supply is what gave me the most problems while making the supply for my S of Zen.
I am also pretty ignorant, but I can cut and paste all of these references into it and massage them into a coherent structure.
Then you heavy hitters can come along and tweak it here or there, and viola-no more power supply questions hahahahahaahahahahahahahaahhaahhhh.
Well it's worth a try.
So, I need a suggestion on what to call my contribution and what catagory to put it in? I guess "power supplies" in "solid state"
