Scalar Charger
@JB,
I guess you do not need the power diodes with the scalar charger, would you say that this is correct? If so, I can work on that some more without the power diodes.
The circuit is a lot different with the Brandt TS, JB. Lots of current running around on those parts and traces. Fried my little 4 amp diodes real quick...killed all of them, well one is alive but I don't trust it. Glad I played around with it BEFORE doing the brandt thing. I would not have know what was going on, probably. You must have some serious ground and power planes on the bottom of the board, I did not see any huge ones on the top.
@all
Unfortunately, I'm going to be gone for 3 weeks, so I can not build and test any more because I do not have those power diodes yet. I'm am terribly sorry not to be able to contribute anything for a month. It kills me!
I'll be back though and I'll be able to keep up with the forum while on the road.
