Really nice blog, great chronicle of a great project, well done mate.
Interesting to see the new pcb version too, looks nice.

Hi Tony,

Thanx for the board assembly instructions, great value

The pictured one is the 1 piece pcb version which has all power linkages already as tracks, could you also include instructions for the interconnecting of the 4 engraved boards for those that need to do that instead.

Finally got some time to construct all the board coils... sanded them, washed them, dried them and then began the construction 8 units at a time. Assembly is easy, follow the pictures in the tutorials, place a bit of superglue (I used Loctite 406 in the small bottle) in the groove and rotate it so i...

After eight it was down to 25 minutes each and with eight left it is less then ten minutes apiece (with searc...

<envy>

Any indication of when next batch will be shipped??

Looking good, easy to follow instructions...

I assume that the underboard 14v zener diode is facing the same direction as the onboard one (maybe a pic of the underside in that location for orientation purposes.

And is there clearance for a low profile IC socket for the PIC?
