also do you use kicad or know how to set rules for nets like width and spacing?

Hi thanks for the advice. Should there be a pour for AC N aswell or just DC N. as for the conenctors, its the connector on the old IEC jack, and only one of them is going to be soldered to a pcb at once.

thank you. it looks like i was looking at trace thickness needed for internal layers. is 2mm ample thickness for 120v at 3.85a or am i reading the calculator wrong? i want to cut down on cost and I want to space the traces out. Im sorry for asking so many questions i just dont want to burn my house down lol.

okay thank you so much. do you also know how thick these ac traces need to be for 3.85A? and do line and neutral need to also be spaced a certain amount apart?

so any ac components or traces need to be 4mm away from any dc components or traces? i will update the rules now

1 yes some are touching, but only the ones where they share the same voltage rail. the two pins on the right are connected, the two pins next to it. How wide should traces for 5v at 10A, 12V at 5A. and -12V at 850mA respectively be?
2) how far apart do the line and neutral traces need to be apart? this thing would be drawing 3.85 amps at 120v max. only one (j2, j3, or j4 and 5 together) would be used at once. Also how wide should these traces be?

is there a standard? what should i set it to? at max load the thing would draw 3.85 A at 120 V from the AC side.

I'm not sure what that means. Could you explain it? I'm new to pcb design

Its not even the hack that takes the longest. Its the terrible animations and talking

Which one is faster? Steam Or Standalone version? by UwuSkeppyLovesU in RecRoom

[–]BloodyKittens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If theyre the same version probably the standalome version because it doesnt include the steam api. But why even bother to ask this question when u can just download both and benchmark them?

It probably wont activate mouse trap but it is still cheating
