Usually they come inside a couple of weeks, depends on what else is being made and how much as they fill a panel before running it. Then once it’s done they have guys separate everything and they ship immediately after that.
I know the feeling, I ordered mine on Dec 28th, shipped Jan 8th so hopefully they’ll be here soon.
It’s sad having all the components on hand but no boards in sight.
I just got my shipping notification. 3 each of the 20mm and v06 17mm. Exciting stuff! I hate the look of all the 7135’s stacked, so hopefully this will be the solution. :party:
You say you hate the look of stacked chips, have a look at this board and tell me which ones are stacked….one is the moon mode, the others are the rest of the modes. Wights PZL driver.
Love how this looks in the tube when changing cells!
I’ll take a guess! The top left corner is not stacked.
a deeper pill with a retaining ring like the x6 makes it look fine, but sticking out the bottom of a P60 is ugly to me.
I sat there and looked at it, very pleased with how well the stacked ones blended in. Really it only shows in that center leg that isn’t soldered. The stacked ones show the center leg bent down.
I hear ya, whenever possible I used to do all the stacking on the inside. Seems like I had 22 chips on a board before. Chips everywhere. No Coke, Pepsi….
Don’t forget that you’ll need to significantly drop the PWM freq for this thing to work correctly. The last test I did was at ~1khz I think. I switched the firmware to Phase Correct PWM and used the :8 divider as per post #51 in this thread.
With the PWM frequency at 1 Khz, what do you see on the output? Is it still pretty smooth? I still find it intersting that the 9.4 kHz runs so well in the M6, but it's got to have something to do with the component network that feeds the 7136 its PWM signal.
I also have not found the parasitic drain to be objectionable.
