Reply to "New MTH smoke unit resistor for Super Chuffer"

Well, you won't find that little regulator board on eBay, I made that one for myself.  You can dispense with the 1uf capacitor as a rule, it's there to provide stability of the 3-terminal regulator.  It's frequently omitted, I just put it there as good design practice.

Here's the BOM from the hip, all of this is easily sourced.

  • 22uh inductor (25ma or greater current rating)
  • 1N4003 Diode
  • 100uf (or larger 35V Cap
  • 78L08 3-terminal regulator (TO-92)

Follow the above diagram and you should have an 8VDC supply.

Or you can send me an email and I'll sell you that little module ready to go.
