Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 So my mostly completed Beta 22 arrives tomorrow and I'm taking the day off to see if I can get her finished. What does that mean to you lot I hear you say? Funny you should ask.. I'll need all hands on deck guiding me through the precarious operation to bring life to my baby. I'm still not sure what's connected and what's not or how much work is left to do so I'll need some guidance on how not to blow it up Stay tuned... tomorrow will bring pics and questions
Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 I'm jealous!= Of my beta or my l337 diy skillz?
Voltron Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 "It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open . . ." -Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Whatever the LED color, good luck bringing your creature to life. I can't help your efforts at all, but I did get those cell phone charger thingies and will send you one if you PM me your address. Good luck Dr. Frankenstein!
tyrion Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I'll be right there with you Smeggy. Oh wait, I'm good at breaking Beta's not putting them together. Never mind. Good luck with the build.
spritzer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Is it SE or balanced and have the boards been tested? If they are all functional then there isn't much to wiring it up but it is better to know which wire goes where.
Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 no idea to all above! I don't know if anythind has been tested or what. I assume so but don't know for certain... It's se 3 board with a big-ass transfo Volty, great news! I'll shoot you a pm
spritzer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Do you know if the large sub-board is included which was designed for the 3 channel amp? That makes wiring a lot easier and much neater. As for testing the amp, always start off with the PSU without anything connected to it.
deepak Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Glad you're finally going to hear it man!!!
Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Nope, doesn't have the sub board, I wish it did as they are very neat and tidy.
Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Glad you're finally going to hear it man!!! Heh, yep it's been a while I'll need to search back through the old posts to find out where it was left at.
Duggeh Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 You should video the process of your Frankensteinian electrical experiments for posterity!
Voltron Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 You should video the process of your Frankensteinian electrical experiments for posterity! Yeah, and if you burn off your fingertips we want to see it!
Nebby Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 I have a spare sub board somewhere, I'll go try to find it.
spritzer Posted April 20, 2009 Report Posted April 20, 2009 Win!!! Smeggy needs some Molex connectors then to make the build ultra clean and easy troubleshooting.
Smeggy Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Posted April 20, 2009 Ooh, that is so cool if you could find it, Nebby. It'd make life much simpler. I wonder if Rat Shack sells molex connectors. I have to put in parts Express order anyway.
inukage Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 last i went there, Rat Shack did sell molex connectors. They are about 20x overpriced, but whatever haha. Dont quote me on that though, each one is different.
Smeggy Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 Here are the pics I got of previous progress... Might be quicker and easier than I thought (fingers crossed), from a prior message.. "all that is left: case up the transformer. Build umbilical for power. Wire outputs. Power and test".
penger Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 I don't think your case will be big enough.
naamanf Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Holly transformer batman! What size is that? If you need any help shoot me a PM. I just happen to know some of the tricks to blow it up
Smeggy Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Posted April 21, 2009 (edited) Holly transformer batman! What size is that? If you need any help shoot me a PM. I just happen to know some of the tricks to blow it up Eeeexcellent *rubs bony hands together* I don't know what size that transfo is, just to be safe I did buy a 160Va one... just to be sure it had enough juice to really blow the shit out of everything. Didn't want to take any chances The transfo I have here has a whole bunch of wires hanging out of it... no idea what they're for will post a pic of it tonight. Gah!! the one in the pic has a load of wires too Edited April 21, 2009 by Smeggy
swt61 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Posted April 21, 2009 Sweet Smeggy! You have to post on the Beta22/K1000 combo. I'm sure the gurus here will get get you squared away.
