Ok, so I`ve made the suggested changes to my circuit as per page 9 of the data sheet so lets assume I got it right this time. I wasn`t aware the eg8010 data sheet was the egs002 and had the circuit everyone was coping from. I missed that 1st time around. I won`t bother posting an updated one as I have enough bad ones posted and don`t see any way of removing them. Just don`t want to junk up forum space for nothing. Now I`m still confused on the current limiting/sensing resistor and maybe someone can explain its purpose and how I would arrive at a correct value for my use.  Nick... has made some suggestions and I have "Ohmite current sense"  0.05, 0.1 and 0.01 on the way.  These are only rated at 10,  50, and 100, mOhms. and @ 5 watts. I don`t really know how to determine the amp rating or what  I need to achieve here, so a little more help would on this would be appreciated. I would seem to me the entire circuit, including the egs002 and pin 1 are expose to the high voltage/amps and only the ground is limited. Can you tell I don`t understand this part ? Thanks guys
