where to get phr 803t's now? seems there are not GB's at this time. i have my drivers assembled here and nothing to test them with. poop =(

btw 6v input should work fine with a phr803t with this driver right?

Yes... it looks like an 8th grader made these boards.
It was almost worth loosing $42 to a looser (some people can afford a good laugh).
Suggestion: Take an SMT class.
Sent-Gland.. oh wait... Sent-Scak ( look it up).
oh, wait.
You're an Ausi girl right?
Sorry, I can't help it, after seeing the work you've done, I can't help being ashamed for you (church tells me i must be more than I am. ;).)
My first job was with NSA, you're first job must have been with your grandmother (sucking your grand father).
WHAT A BABY.
First you try to jab me, then you put out a "product" that looks like you belong in the first year out of of soldering school.

Please tell me where we can meet to talk about this ( ;) )

PS: I looked up your name and found NOTHING, try mine (A_HOLE).

I'm thinking about offering a "re-flow" repair for the folks "stuck" with kits from this this post.
US mail charges (what...($0.35)?) could apply.
But Sent-Skat could ruin it.
Waist.... and his awful (and most nasty) mind, could sway it for you.
Look, I'm busy, and don't need people like Skat-Cat bothering me (smell alone), but just to "chaff his ass" I might "DO IT RIGHT" (SMT resistors and all) (((My God says, Scat-Kat, they have smt resistors???...((armature)).
(((Scat, says, The other guy) bought SMT IC's but used through hole resistors and the design will not allow the use of SMT resistors... Blame it on the teenager, SKat - Cat.
If you're able to build SMT (and you're not Sent_SKaT), offering eight cents in resistors would (a) make more friends (LOL) (b) cost $1.36 for 80 boards (teenagers don't make much folks).
Why do "some of you folks" pet this A-Hole?
He's just a nasty A-Hole that thrives at being a nasty A-Hole (repeat ... nasty).

I agree that these boards would be way better if they were designed with all surface mount components. The boards would be easier to assemble, smaller and probably cheaper too. I can't understand why they were designed with through hole parts at all.

I cannot get this to work.

I have tried a dummy load of a dead open can and could not get a reading across r1 and it didn't even light up as an led.  I then just tried to hook up a new open can nothing.  I thought well maybe it died during extraction so I tried an lmc317 worked great and hooked it up to a rckstr driver agian it lit up.  Though I am not very good at eletronics so I am probably just missing something simple.

Only thing I would recommend is go back and make sure all of your connections are correct. It appears as if you've got the lm385 hooked up correctly so that's not an issue. You also have the bridge for the resistor (mode selection) The only thing I see it could potentially be is the opposite side of that pot, but it's hard to say. It looks like the one pin on the lm385 might be a bad connection as well. There are two really weak points in this board. 1 being the pot. The doggone thing is just too small and easy to break. The other is the orientation of the lm385 (bad board design in making it with wrong pin connection) and then the bad marking on the capacitor. it's not an easy board to build sadly. I've only had limited success in building these. Oh and be careful the traces like to come loose easily.

GOOD LUCK!

Having purchaised 4 of these kits from StoneTek and subsiquently read the info about them on his page, i thought i'd look up the history of them. Theres alot more history then i thought!

I'd like to thank SenKet for helping out with this, even though i had nothing to do with it i just felt the urge... :eek:

These boards are excellent for the price, to the point where i was wondering how SenKet could sell them so cheaply (sorry, inexpensively ;)). Although they could of used all smt's i did find that by soldering the components directly to each other it's possible to squeeze them into a Aixiz module. Alot of pressure and very short LD pins help so i wouldn't suggest it to an amateur.

p.s. Just noticed...
"LPF Members save 10% at : shop.stonetek.org and ALWAYS free shipping ! Use code : LPFROX!"
I shall remember that for the next purchaise (and the many thousand that will inevitably follow it)

Blast from the past.

I have a 16x diode hooked up to this driver. When i turn the pot, it will go from 115mA to 350ma, then back down to the minimum of the pot...Is this normal?

It's a single turn pot with no stopper, so you're probably over-turning it, and you might wear it out. I'd find that "maximum" and then set it a little lower in case the pot drifts from heat, etc. potentially frying your stuff--then stop touching it.

Your post really should've been a new thread in the Help and Tutorials section, not in this months-old thread.
