Question for you, breaktru - in the OP diagram, you have a PTC fuse wired on Vin (this is also the way I wired the Raptor) - if the batts are put in backwards, are they protected from meltdown?For the Raptor, the batts are not protected if put in backwards.
If that is PCB with the tracers, it looks like it is not wired correctly. Like mamu said, only the resistor is in the circuit.Look at the PCB board I show for the PTR08100. The wiring is the same. Just don't add the caps.i want to use a prototype board on my okr build? will i follow this diagram , i do have caps on my build just wondering if it would be the same exact layout and cuts on the board?
The OKR has onboard overcurrent protection, but no reverse polarity protection. So, yes - fuses are necessary for safety.I use these 2x in parallel for a 10A hold current for the OKR-T10: AGRF500-2.You can go to octopart.com and enter the part number and find who sells them and who has the best price.
Hello all love this website soo much to learn. Quick noob question. If the batteries are run in series. How does one run the fuses in parrallel? Ben.
How could I go about adding in reverse polarity protection to this?
so after hooking everything up just like the schematic only thing is the resister is a 200 ohm with .5 watts, i found it at radio shack so should i get the right resister from digikey? the way that i have it wired it is only outputing .53 volts not sure what would be causing this but im slamming my head into a brick wall can someone chime in here and help me?
any thoughts on the possibility of using a 500 ohm pot? if i calculated properly from the specs, it would lower the low voltage output to 2.23.considering this as an option since there is a 500 ohm pot available that could be thread through a hole, secured with nut, and has a metal shaft. think it would be nice with a guitar knob attached.alpha b500http://www.ebay.com/itm/500-OHM-Linear-Taper-Rotary-Potentiometer-B500-Pot-/280672832335
