My whole draw to specific Superguns was the ATX PSU compatibility. I've only used one Mean Well and it generates too much noise for my board. Just my personal two cents.
Edit: There was a glut of low-quality fake Mean Wells for a few years. You should be able to check the serial number to be sure on their website: https://www.meanwell.com/serviceReport.aspx
For the record, do you remember where that power supply came from? Maybe add a picture too. Others may unwittingly be using similar fakes.I did not see this reply initially. I pulled out the supply to check and there is no serial. Guess it's fake.
I've already decided to go forward with the single-rail supply, FWIW. It will reduce total purchasing cost and eliminate the variable of poor-quality ATX PSUs. If the end result is unsatisfactory in testing I'll go back to ATX, but I am optimistic.I’d leave the ATX connector on it. If you don’t want to use an ATX PSU, a high quality PicoPSU from
Mini-box can be used. I’ve used it on my parsec for several years without issue.
Heya! Curious if this was still an on-going project. It's been a while since the last update. I took that zip and sent an RFQ through to JLCPCB and included a note about the note.The order finally completed. Strangely, I was only charged $50. Here are the files, enjoy!
If you use them and can afford it, please consider making a contribution to share the cost. You can do so via Paypal (link). I will remove the donation link if I receive a total of $40 (the $50 I paid minus $10 that I will contribute myself).
Important note about the gerbers: Some of the through-hole pads use the board-outline layer instead of the drill layer. This is not an artifact of the conversion process; it was done that way in the original files too. This causes the holes not to be rendered when previewing the gerbers, and means that there is a potential for the boards to not come out correctly if the manufacturer and their software doesn't notice. I contacted JLCPCB and they said there would be no issue ordering through them, but that orders should contain the note "There are slots and holes in the outline layer, please check it".
Another edit: The pick-and-place (CPL) file is missing. I'm going to have to call Pad2Pad tomorrow and determine why. I might have to make the file by hand (god forbid). Also, some of the footprints in the actual file are not configured as footprints, so I might have to re-do the conversion anyways to fix it. I kinda wish I had the schematic so I could just remake the thing in EasyEDA.
