Of course

If only this driver weren't so expensive >.> Otherwise I'd be all over these. XD

The components are about 20$ the PCB's costed me 150$ for 30 ( I ordered other PCB's too) in the end came out to about .20$ a PCB, its not too bad

Considering that's more expensive than the BlitzBuck's RETAIL price... I think I will stick with my own buck Especially because I know how it works, so I am comfortable pushing it and modifying it for my own builds.

Yeah I understand exactly how you feel

My boost driver is finally ready hopefully it does ok I put a couple hundred into making it & testing it :crackup:

I like how this buck-boost that Laserluke made is fully adjustable I like adjustable drivers better

How does that math work out? :thinking:

Lol I ordered hundreds of other boards with these

Just other ones

There's a reason it's called mathemagics.

Well when I have a total of 650 PCB's then the cost is 150$ then it's 0.23$ each that's why I said around .20$ per PCB even though I only ordered 30 of these

Seems to me like $5 a PCB for him, not 20 cents per.

3rd time I'll say it, I bought 650 in total

Just 30 of these buckboosts. In the end it was 0.23$ per PCB for all 650

Hey Anthot,
my optical head for combining two beams is finished. You can find the post here.
Let me know what do you think

 

[Kizdawg]

I ordered parts today and have a couple boards coming so I will give input as I can.

 

[tsteele93]

Hey, let me know how you guys end up doing with the TPS chip. That some small surface mount work there!

 

[foulmist]

I use hot air station.

It doesn't blow the ics off the pad?
