Hi,

Thanks for a great project. Looking forward to build it.

I was checking out the designs in Eagle and the parts on the website and noticed some differences:

On the website D2-D4 are mentioned as Schottky diode, but in the design D4 is a zenerdiode (1N5235) which is mentioned nowhere on the web pages.

LED1 on the Power supply is not mentioned in the design. Also the description mentions a 1206 package, but the link points to a 1208.

L5 and L6 in Tuning in the design are Neosid inductors pdf, but on the web site they are 1K resistors.

Any specific reason for this? Which is correct?

Thanks

I believe the L5 and L6 listed on the main board can be resistors of 1k value (1206) and/or you can use inductors (1206) to reduce the noise in the PWM - so one would need to know what the noise of a particular implementation is to be able to compensate for it, hence the apparent ambiguity in the design (most exellent design, by the way). Kudos to ladyada!

1206 == 1208

also, the LED1 is really used on the battery board. page has been updated.

pdf, but on the web site they are 1K resistors.
