I don't know of a way to change a title in something that's already been sent out, alas. I was wondering what you meant, my (wrong) guess was that you wanted a GPS "puck" that retransmitted timing info via bluetooth/UHF/whatever. > I've come to the conclusion that I need to be able to build my own puck > converters, at least so I can understand what I am looking at when I look at > schematics for other people's converters!

Here's one: http://www.coilgun.eclipse.co.uk/electromagnetic_pistol_voltage_converter_design.html <http://www.coilgun.eclipse.co.uk/electromagnetic_pistol_voltage_converter_design.html> I'll point out one of those details that tends to catch people off guard when they first notice it, but seems "obvious" in retrospect. If a boost converter is supplied with power, but the converter itself isn't running, you'll see the input voltage at the output (it flows through the coil and diode). - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
