West,
Your intentions are clearly altruistic, for which I thank you profusely, but that vestigial reptilian part of my brain which should have developed along digital lines has, sadly, regressed. I now spend most of my nights roaming the streets eating rats, dreaming of a fully analog world, sad but true......
I have about as much idea of how to use your code as a garden snail has about painting a Monet......
I spent the afternoon yesterday at a small factory which specialises in surface mount repair and manufacture. I came away very impressed. This is brilliant, clever technology, and I will be using it to assist with the drudgery of hand assembly of my modules. My top quality modules I will continue to make myself in my workshop, but starting with some lower power modules I hope to use for a HT amp, I will increasingly use smd. After set up costs are paid, it's cheap, so cheap, and highly reliable if design is well done. I tried my hand at some smd pcb design recently, and the EE at the factory was very impressed, and said it was commercial quality, and well designed from a layout standpoint. So there's a skill I've picked up OK, a good sign....
The website issue doesn't worry me, I will fix the links soon anyway, I spent a day last week updating the SB3 power supply and Lifeforce 100 links, and remarkably, they are now up and running perfectly.
Cheers,
Hugh
