ya, i've been tied up partly messing around with the DIY controller and mostly working on A/C. My gf isn't keen on the idle table-o-electronics chilling in the living room either.
I've received all the necessary parts to do this up again. Now that I'm confident in the design, I've worked a little on optimizing layout so it's smaller. The power board should fit on a 4x6 PCB. A new heatsink is cut down so it's 4x9. So, overall, should be 4x9x6, or so. I'm also trying mosfets and diodes in an iso247 package so we don't have to worry about isolating them from the heatsink. This should result in better heat transfer.
Hopefully I can get the new powerboard goin within a couple of weeks.
