Hello to everyone! I've been reading this forum for a few months now and finally decided to join. I watched the TGSL grow from a spark to a full fledged project involving a whole lot of very smart people. I recently decided to build one myself following Ivconic's details.
I built the electronics and then the coils but upon potting the coils the whole thing warped and I need to start the coil process all over. I got fairly poor results before I potted the coils but I figured it was my first try and chalked it up to that. Hopefully my next set will be better. One thing I noticed was the battery test when powering on was not a long beep as I've seen described but a rather short one ( less the 1/2 a second ) and something I haven't seen mentioned (or maybe I just missed it) is upon powering off I hear more tones 2 "beeps" and a "boop" like caps disharging? Any thoughts on that ??
Thanks to all. This is a great forum!
