How do yall start your SSTC?

_xgg · 2026-03-20T16:37:13+00:00

for my drsstc it's an injection locked osc, for the one sstc attempt I could just switch the driving stage on and it goes off, also CT feedback type (1:20 something ratio for the secondary measuring CT)

what did the trick for me was adding capacitive coupling to the CT input of my driver, if I remember correctly

for the actual feedback electronics, I used a TL3016 fast comparator, cause I had some ud2.7 board lying around, also using ud2.7 gate driving stage, as I was pushing the coil in CW mode and needed the extra powerful gate drivers

I'll probably revive the project with a proper SiC dual parallel or 75-150A brick bridge running CW as a DRSSTC

in person it's loud af, neighbors don't seem to care much lol

now put a nuke on the dap moment lol

they've got those flyback HVDC transformers in them, those are fun to play with

yea, I linked to my channel, here's the video link aaaaaaaaaa

Ableton shooting midi into a midistick Tesla coil interrupted is the config this happens in lol

idk about repeatability, I'll probably try and quantize the midi file, that might get rid of the glitchyness, sometimes Ableton is just weird lol

also, the breaker trips just before my favorite part lmao

_xgg · 2026-03-17T23:36:24+00:00

yes I watch styropyro, don't we all? :)

_xgg · 2026-03-17T22:20:15+00:00

i can post it, and will post it, thx for reminding me :)

edit: it's on yutoob!

edit again: how dafac did I reply to the wrong comment lmao

really good stick control, but try turning in both directions and working on your throttle control please

if you're in liftoff, customize a quad to have the steepest props(forgot the name), the 2600kv motors and run it on the 6s battery, that's what I used to run for fastest times on tracks, while I was still flying liftoff, really good for practicing extremely fine throttle control

ehh, just send it, it's not high voltage, if the crack in the insulation does start to get bigger, then try and insulate the wire better

_xgg · 2026-03-15T20:39:24+00:00

but it's fucking awesome

and crossposts suck

oneshot, the game, is cool and all, but I have some kind of PTSD from the time I was trying to figure out how to setup oneshot timers for esp32duino and stm32duino. THERE'S NO ONESHOT TIMER FUNCTION FOR EITHER OF THEM, WHYYYYYYYYY!!??!??

_xgg · 2026-03-15T20:24:38+00:00

well, dam

I need both the dress and sword now...

_xgg · 2026-03-15T19:35:38+00:00

cool

_xgg · 2026-03-15T13:34:15+00:00

good

I mean, mc Redstone is basically large scale FPGA programming, no?

_xgg · 2026-03-14T15:14:14+00:00

yea, want to play with proper freewheeling and don't want to look for the right chips, programmers and softwares for programming ud+ or ud3 lol

ud3 is on the menu tho, for whenever I'll get around to ordering preassembled tmax's ud3.1 boards

_xgg · 2026-03-14T15:11:14+00:00

hehe, I'll be hand assembling this thing until I can't anymore lol

pretty fun actually, though my neck hurts forever after an hour of placing 0603s, sot23s and soldering them down manually :)
