jdunbar360What got done:
- Soldered in Zener diodes, power resistors, 10K resistors
- Connected MOSFETs to central negative rail
- Created heavily-soldered rail for each MOSFET connection to positive
- Added solder to board to buik up positive rail
Issues:
- Difficult to connect copper pads with solder on board to make a continuous rail; solved by laying piece of solid-core wire across pads to facilitate connection
- Extra length of resistor leads were used to bridge gaps between copper pads
Next steps:
- Solder on more components
- Form work coil
- Create bus for capacitor bank
- Make connectors for interchangeable work coil
- Add power connectors
