Just doing that post :)

Look like they all turned out really well!

Just got my bench PSU out of the workshop , need to solder some resistors on the boards, but then going to power them up make sure I get 5V & 12V output before going any further!

I have released some older projects in the PCB section.

Some of the schematics of been on my website for many years and I know people have copied them sometimes with and without credit unfortunately :roll: . In any case, the PCB files I have released for these old and now discontinued projects. If I find any more I will upload them.

Pink slab came from @Icky :thumbup:

I need to redo the rear post as the PCB and stencil will get clamped together, so need the PCB removable easily, but not the stencil. Will do that later.

Busy doing another batch of PSU boards currently.

There is a lot of pinkness going on there @exxos. The slab is bordering on salmon pink.

I'm still looking for cartridge connectors. Though its pretty clear they are going to have to be custom made :( I've spoken to some companies for quotes to see what they come back with..
