Beefing up the Bakin' and Leds

There have been a couple of incarnations of the Lab Led Lighting project (alliteration for the win).

• The original project
• The soft start

Some time ago the original DC/DC converter fried itself, and so I replaced it with an MP1854 module which hummed along for a few months before self destructing.

So now I want to play with this project again, the main thing is to put a "beefier" DC/DC module to start with, but also to maybe spin out the voltage and current control knobs to the front of the 3D printed box for easier access.

It didn't all go my way - stand back for popping sounds as I further my reputation as a "trial and error and error and error" type.

A long time between drinks

I've been missing for awhile and in this video I explain the reasons for my absence, as well as dig out an old friend the AO3400 N-Channel mosfet, not for a few drinks - but to blow it up!

Take care of yourselves and please leave a comment and a like for this one.
