Hello Zigis,   This is great. I actually had a similar idea, but different. The link is here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/557103/new-power-supply-design-for-cmoy The difference is, using Li-Ion. I have not included the charging portion, of which is based on USB. I have already made an...

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. It is great everything is "working", albeit slowly. As for the popping, it may have to do with jitter. Not sure how you can get around that, maybe a different driver to make it work in async mode? Just a wild guess.   Btw, thanks for the follow-up.  

Hi Avro_Arrow,   Thank you for the links. Just found the second link going to archive.org. Here is a direct link: http://web.archive.org/web/20101216133643/http://greygum.net/sbench/sbench102/caps.html   I have saved them for later reading.   I have finally been able to try the...

Hi qusp,     Quote: They are actually axial. On eBay, they are anywhere from a couple of $$ each to a very nice sum :-)   I got some of them yesterday, and actually found some others while I was there.   I will be posting pics soon, and commenting on what each one is - except...

Hi wakibaki, I have a suggestion for you, if you would like to try it out. Once you get your new one in, if you have an old PSU lying around, then that is perfect. Here are the steps, this is to make sure that everything will work ok. Make two simple linear - only because they are easier...

Well here is something I found, and since this is the D.I.Y.'ers area, I thought it might be of interest for those that have Pi's.   http://www.electronics-lab.com/blog/?tag=smps go to the centre of the page :-) and follow the link. It seems an interesting read and mod. The direct link is...

Hi everyone,   Just thought to ask everyone about the... yep, you guessed it, the Cap question.   I have found a surplus of the aforementioned capacitors. The Met. PolyCarbs from: WIMA (MKC-10), Roederstein & PHILIPS.   The Met. Polyester: Wima (MKS-2)   The Tantalum...

Hi, Not sure if someone else has posted previously for using the TC962, but I find it a very convenient item to do a lot of things :-) I have posted a few different versions in a blog I have so I would not have to take a lot of premium space here in the forum pages.   The link is here:  ...

Hey Martioz, As da_burl mentioned, you can use the Fisherman's Friend tin, but it is smaller I think than the altoids. It measures apprx. : 6cm (max) x 5cm x 1.2cm. I got mine from Safeway awhile back. But be careful it is very "flimsy" (delicate). You can always go down to your local chemist...

Hello all, after waiting for some answers etc etc over at headwise, I thought to come here and ask for opinions, help etc. Instead of posting everything again, I will just add the links in here. Well, I hope you like and enjoy and maybe even be able to help. The first link is of some...
