AP PCB, Genny, Mouser
Thursday, October 2, 2008, 06:00 PM
Finished the layout and sent it to AP Circuits in Canada. I made A change so it would accommodate a push button switch so that it could be used on Genny as a generator controller. I'm also looking into using this as a crawl space vent timer possibly tied into a humidity sensor to fine tune crawl space venting. I spent some time putting together orders on Digikey and Mouser. I ended up using Mouser but found out they don't carry Maxim parts. I ended up requesting samples from Maxim for both the A/D battery converter and the RS485 transceiver. Mouser will supply the resistors I don't have and the Max202 RS232 transceiver. I found that I have some surface mount LED's from my IBM days that I can use. The RED one was an SOT23 package which I tested and also tried on the LED pads and all looks well. I don't need the RS485 transceiver from Maxim yet and the Battery Monitor is for a photocell circuit which I haven't worked on yet. Dinner was the Trader Joe's Eggplant Parmesan which was very tasty. I programmed John's controller card and it ran away to 78 degrees C before I shut it down. |
