--- Quote from: gdewitte on November 11, 2018, 05:59:33 pm ---Correct: only milled through the copper on the ground plane side; the line on the pad side was for reference. --- End quote --- I must laugh... I know myself... I would have way over-thought this... Designed a custom PCB, paid for it, waited for it, etc... When all I needed was a positive and negative plane. Simply excellent, pun intended, on your part... A single piece of copper clad, divided, and a few holes... Quirky, on mine. lol |

When all I needed was a positive and negative plane.[/size] [/size] [/size][size=0px]I have to admit that a custom PCB was my first thought and I was considering a cutout for the Powerpoles, including a fuse holder for the positive plane, getting a right-angle PC mount 5.5 mm jack, silk screening spiffy labels, … And then I thought "Or, I could just mill the copper off the middle of a copper clad PCB and solder some parts on."

And, clearly, I need to work on the correct method for inserting a quote :-// |

Neat :-+, I would just add maybe a micro USB connector for completeness |

I thought about using an LM234 as a constant current source over a wide voltage range (certainly the 2-30V I use 99% of the time). It would also be protected up to 20V of reverse voltage which would help keep the circuit simple. --- End quote --- Yes, simple current source (LM234 or opamp) |
