A dang copper gave me a ticket a while back. Some people think copper is an element. It's actually made of doughnut grease and pork.

Here's some more pictures of the progress for the power board. I finished soldering the capacitors. It was super easy with a 250 watt (I think) soldering gun from Radio Shack for $30! ya!


This is a picture of it temporarily and partially assembled.


And a side view.


And with an old diode on display. The silver things attached to the copper heat spreader press the diodes/mosfets against it to keep it cool.


The bars with all their dang holes!


With a layer removed.


And another layer removed.


Bottom of capacitor board, with capacitors soldered in place ya!


Little plastic things to keep the bolts isolated from the bottom of the board. They are to hold the M- bus bar in place! ya!
