Lab power supply with DPS3005 module

This is a lab power supply I put together back in 2018 with one DPS3005 module. It is easily the most used piece of equipment in the lab, so much that it is permanently on.

The module itself is nothing but a DC-DC converter capable of 30 V and 5 A, providing a simple user interface, and isolated USB control (which I've never really needed). The output is pretty noisy as one might expect, see discussion here. An LC filter reduced some of that noise significantly. I'll have to come back to it and re-do it with smd capacitors, yet I have no real need. My other lab supply has way lower noise.

I first used a cheap swithcing supply to power the module, but it lasted a mere week or so. I later substituted it for an unregulated dc supply using a transformer I bought at the local flea market. The case I made for it being wood, I added a small fan in the back. I quickly added a simple two-transistor temperature controller because of the noise. With all fans running (power supplies, scope, a fan to blow soldering smoke...), noise becomes quite bothersome.

Split-ring compound epicyclic/planetary gearboxes

A while ago, I came across this strange thing called ‘split-ring compound epicyclic/planetary gearboxes’. They seemed really nice, extremely high gear ratios in compact, stackable modules. But the already existing models were not enough. I wanted to be able to design my own, and due to the lack of information on the subject, I had to do a little research and some math. Here is most of what I would have liked to find on the first place: 1. What is a planetary gearbox? Planetary gearboxes, as their name says, resemble planets orbiting around a “sun”. They are composed of a sun gear, in the center, two or more planet gears around it -and often fitted to a carrier- and a ring/annulus gear on the outside. As an image is worth a thousand words: Source Their main feature is a high reduction ratio in a small, flat space, and also, it is easy to couple the output of one gearbox to the input of another one, getting a two or more stage gearbox with such a high reduction ratio. But where is the i...

BFO Metal detector

Just a simple BFO (beat frequency oscilator) metal detector based on this one . It is comprised by two LC oscillators, a fixed or reference one and a search one. The coil of the search oscillator is located in close proximity to the ground. When a metal object is close, it changes the inductance of the coil, changing the frequency the search oscillator works at. In this case, both oscillators work around 200 kHz. Both signals are added together, and that results in an AM signal, which can be demodulated. The audio tone resultant happens to be the difference of the two frequencies. This way, changes in frequency of the search oscillator can be noticed as the sound frequency changes. Testing and modification of the original design. Notice that AM signal and its demodulation can be seen on the scope: The frequency adjustment was modified and an audio amplifier was added. Here is the schematic for my version. Capacitor values are marked as they appear on the physical com...

FlatCAM 8.994 Beta Tips

I'll be adding here some tips and how-tos on how on FlatCAM 8.994, an Open-Source PCB CAM tool. This is a work in progress and it's mostly for my own reference. I'll be updating it as I discover new stuff. Note that procedures shown may not be correct or the most efficient. This is provided "as is". FlatCAM's website: http://flatcam.org/ Installation: https://bitbucket.org/jpcgt/flatcam/downloads/ Create and save new project: Load Gerbers & Excellon: Single-sided isolation routing: On the left pane, double-click your front copper gerber, and you'll be taken to a Properties window. Choose Isolation routing. If the left pane somehow disappears, you may go to View > Toggle project/Properties/Tool. On tools & tools library: From within the isolation window, delete default tools and choose the tool you want to use, or create a new one. See the screenshow on how to do so. Here is how to configure a traditional V bit. To be continued... Soon (TM) Don...
