Hi all,
Thanks for continuing to check in once in a while! I'm still plunking away but you don't need me to tell you progress is slow - you can see that.
Right now I'm tweaking the test circuit to work with surface mount components. When I breadboarded the new circuit with huge discrete components everything worked just fine, but when I switched over to tiny SMD components things don't work the same. A lot of it is due to increased resistances in the smaller parts so I'm just experimenting to see if I can improve efficiencies.
I have made note of everyone asking to be added to the interest list but would just like to caution you that it might be a while before I'm putting anything in the mailbox for you.
