OK good luck with the uTracer build. Four at least of us have built one maybe more than four? So call out any difficulties.

Love the name!
The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

I have been using this since I started PC communication in '90s, though I am not a member of J.S. Bach's family.shane wrote:Love the name!

Glad to know precursors here. I have finished board assembly and test. Housing is on the way.Paul Barker wrote:OK good luck with the uTracer build. Four at least of us have built one maybe more than four? So call out any difficulties.

I hope so, too.Paul Barker wrote:You're nearly done
Actually, I had a trouble in the final test and spent a week to find out a solder bridge. I am ready to start wiring, but have some difficulty to spare time in my laboratory.

Built mine as a "present to self" (aka retail therapy) for Christmas 2012 - love it to bits...
Added bluetooth to it to get galvanic isolation to protect my laptop...

Don't forget to use the correct ferrite beads and always use Ronald's/AVO's recommended loop wiring scheme...cpu_bach wrote:I hope so, too.Paul Barker wrote:You're nearly done

My Bluetooth implementation was detailed on the Google uTracer group at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/utracer ... ZKY80qNyIJ
Big advantage of using Bluetooth is full galvanic isolation - useful if you want to protect your expensive laptop - and its very cheap & non destructive to the uTracer board...

Thank you for your advice. I used Amdon FB-43-801 beads and completed loop wiring for all the sockets. I have no time to go further, but hope this works.nickds1 wrote: Don't forget to use the correct ferrite beads and always use Ronald's/AVO's recommended loop wiring scheme...
