Welder simulator

12/27/2007 Welder simulator
I built myself a welding simulator as described at http://www.cgs.synth.net/other/arcwelder/arcweld.html

I ordered all the electronic components from mouser.com

Since I did not have the printed circuit board I had to map the circuit layout onto a 1/10" prototype board. I then drew where the connections had to be on the back using a pencil.

I found a plastic box that was a perfect size and I cut the board to fit

The power supply to the simulator will be switched with a K84 module to that I can switch the welding on and off from the computer.

Update: video of it working is now available.
