Title: DIY Bench Power Supply #6
Post by: retiredcaps on September 16, 2014, 01:39:04 AM
Hi Martin,

When I see this, all I hear is blah blah blah!!!  :) 

I think I have only used a maximum of 2 multimeters simultaneously so far.

I've played with simple circuits where I've had many multimeters set up.

You can never have too many multimeters!  ;D

LOL...retiredcaps...I think you have a problem with meter addiction! ;-)

You'll have to be careful Martin, or people will start thinking you have all the gear with no idea ::)

I for one don't expect high level, professional explanations from Martin, so from my point of view there's no "blah, blah, blah". To be honest, the reason I follow his channel and videos is the simple and exhaustive explanation he provides for everything. So, Martin, my message to you is don't listen to these guys. :D

I think something is lost in translation with the blah blah blah for non North American born people?

He knows I like learning more about multimeters and when I see 5 high end ones in one shot, my mind wanders and I don't pay attention to the content or what he is saying.  Thus, it all sounds like blah blah.

Don't worry, Martin knows exactly what I'm saying.  ;)  He and I have many PMs regarding multimeters that would bore the rest of you.

And I'd like to add Martin will know that I'm just teasing him, I'll bet your fun to work with birbert, if you didn't have light hearted teasing where I work , you wouldn't last long, I can tell you. Lighten up dude lifes to short. blah blah  blah    ::) Retired caps well done on the win,yet another meter to confuse the issues.

Yes, yes! In your opinion why did I put that cheesy face at the end of my post? I understood yours, so I rest my case. :)

Hi Martin

I don't think you have said in your videos. How stable did you find your old bench power supply under different resistive and capacitive loads ?
I guess it must have been fine if you used it for so long and are building another.

Maybe a video testing how it performs against the TTI with all this types of loads would be useful.

Thanks

Good question Glenn, I have not done any extensive testing of the old power supply...and I'm sure it will have some short comings.
As soon as I have the last error in the test circuit corrected I'll place the power components on a heat sink and start testing to see how well it holds up...and yes a comparison with the TTi is a good idea.

Cheers,
Martin.
