Someone mind checking over this parts list?Want to make sure I got all this right the first time. P.S. I left out the 1s-6s display since ill be getting that elsewhere. Also, the PFET recommended is OOS, any replacements? I may not even use one. And 2 different pots to play with.Thanks
For anyone looking, digikey just received more stock of the Raptor chip. I just ordered two more.
I've been using this P-FET for reverse polarity with my builds - D-PAK size: IPD042P03L3 GAnd these strap fuses (2x in parallel): MF-LR900/20-0
How are you soldering these PFETS and fuses? Thanks in advance.
can anyone help me out a little here please? are we still using the diagram here? http://www.mamumods.com/pics/raptor7.pngnow I've got the following parts in my basket;some of these fuses http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155353817&uq=635434691059434000some of these capacitors http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155317805&uq=635434673485121858these 220 resistors http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155319591&uq=635434673677021801and these 4.7k http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155319633&uq=635434673912408597this zener http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155319897&uq=635434674038627483this mosfet http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155353468&uq=635434689225505673and this pot http://www.digikey.co.uk/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&itemSeq=155324624&uq=635434674197434465could anyone let me know if they're all correct? also does that allow me to use a non rated fire button, but still need to use a 20amp main switch?thanks in advance
thats odd, they all work when i click
I always recommend the tutorials here; http://www.allaboutcircuits.com The texts are really well written and there's plenty of depth for anything you would want to do with mod building.Welcome to the forum BTW
I understand the whole "risk damage" part, but it seems that in my experience the raptor wont even allow itself to exceed 6v / 20A.
I think I'm going to give the Raptor a try. I previously built an OKR-T6 and really enjoyed it until I fried it out. I found out why too. When I build a my atties for a mech setup I tend to shoot for about 40 watts. I like the flavor I get at that rating.I am also struggling through some of this and will also be reading up on circuits since I only studied what the Navy thought I needed to know for working on computer mainframes many years ago. I think it covered much of this but it was for memorization purposes and didn't get much into theory. Also, it was almost 30 years ago and I can forget my own name if I go more than a week without using it.I recently got a (hopefully) decent soldering station and a good Dremel. A lot has happened since I built the OKR and I have to practically start from scratch.I'm still not sure if I want to try this circuit out or go with another chip like the OKR for now. I have another thread I need to read through before I decide.
Thank you all for your comments on this post and help finding parts! Here's my box! P.S. I actually like that it looks a little "messy", rockin the DIY look ;-)
Brother that looks fine, I hope my first one looks that good. Can you share the info on the clear box and firing button you used?
Can anyone recommend a volt meter for my raptor, preferably one thats in stock and not in china:-). Doesnt have to be the cheapest one or anything special for that matter, just one that works and has the wires attached already?
The diagram for the nfet shows the zener connecting to both the Vin and On/Off pins. Is this correct? And a 47k resistor between S and G pins on nfet as well?Just got all my parts in and will be wiring it up this weekend.
