I had faith you could & would make it work. The method you used to create the circuit is very similar to dozens of my early prototype creations. Even relatively high power can be achieved this way.
Printed circuit boards were so expensive when I used to do this in ~ 1985, to get back 6 prototype PCB samples cost around $400 a large part of the cost was photo tooling. So it paid to get the circuit working on perforated board first and only then make the PCB.
These days you can send out a PCB design and have a 100mm x 100mm prototype returned for less than $8 delivered to your door in ~ 10 days, things have certainly changed.
Congratulations on getting it working, the satisfaction of achieving that lasts for a long time. Now you too have the bug, may it never leave you... |
