Summary

1) Power supply design is coming along

2) Final design will require an embedded Arduino Nano

3) Final design will use a laptop (or desktop) as display


Random Status

A lot of little things are happening with the project but nothing of special note, so I won't post this to the feed.

My DigiKey order came in, I'm working up the various device interface software, nothing exceptional.

I'm looking into generating Hydrogen on a small scale, and collecting plumbing for the experimental setup.

I've resolved the safety issue using a lasercut holder for the transducer with rubber feet so it doesn't skitter across the table when energized, and a sculpted-foam parasol to catch the ultrasonic energy. (Which looks vaguely like to the starship enterprise.)
