- As the semester winds down, there are two final build sessions — Monday, Apr. 28 and Mon, May 5. Both sessions will be 2011 Coover and will start at 6:00 p.m. (to avoid any conflicts with scheduled labs). During these sessions, you can:
- Build the revised version of the Temp-Time project. There are a few kits available. Recall that the original version had a problem with temp sensor being two close to the voltage regulator. The new version fixes this problem and adds an optional 9-V battery holder. Here are the updated bill of materials and build instructions
- Build the Class-D amp. Several people built amps a couple of weeks ago, and there are still a few kits available.
- Build a box that can be used for the Class-D amp or the small desktop amp (or both). There are ample supplies of parts for building boxes.
- I will bring tools (a drill, bits, wire strippers, pliers, etc.) to facilitate building the projects.
- Contact Andrew on the Discord or send me an email if you would like to build any of these final projects.
- Finally, I had discussed building a sub-woofer as an "un-official summer project". To build this, you would need to buy the driver, port tube, and connectors from Parts-Express, and I will supply wood panels. If you would like to do this project, let me know ASAP (gtuttle). I will cut up the panels and have them available for you at the session on May 5.
To get an idea of how the sub would look, you can see this kit from Parts-Express. The driver, connectors, and port should cost around $75.
