Default Re: Homebrew transmitter project (Frank vs. Oskar :) )

Hi all!

My problems with the test setup were likely (obviously? ) caused by bad layout / wiring. I have tried to put down a sketch of a better layout. Observe that the layout is for the chassis intended for the "real" transmitter, not for the test chassis. I am not sure I should waste more time messing with the test chassis. Maybe I have learned all of the most important lessons.

Here is the chassis I will use:

The placement of the components shown in the above picture is still valid. Given the size of certain things, this transmitter will not exactly use space in this chassis very efficiently.

Here is my layout sketches:

Ok, now it's submitted for "Frank-approval"

Edit:
The obvious "bad" about this layout is safety, unless the chassis topside is covered with some kind of hood, it is leathal!
