Re: Foxy's Latest Project.
Breaking News......
After completing the soldering and installation of all the components to the circuit board, it was time to test the circuit.
Carefully applying the voltage in steps and watching power consumption (any faults would show up as either short circuit or open circuit as the amperage increased) I reached the working voltage of 9 volt DC with a consumption of around 100mA.
After offering a metal object to the coil.......It worked!....
There is still a lot of work to do, and this was just the first preliminary test. An enclosure needs to be made now to house the electronics, and the coil tidied up and modified. I saw no point in spending time on streamlining the coil if the circuit didn't work.
To say I was delighted would be an understatement.....I get so much pleasure from constructing these projects, even though I could have bought one much more efficient and professional, but what would I have learned?....
