Who wants a power amp kit for free? **Out of LM3886 kits**

[joecool85]

Did it come in alright?  I would have sent you some solder with the iron, but I'm running out myself.

[SECONDandBOWERY]

Yeah it came in fine.  Don't worry - I have enough solder.

A few questions before I start putting this thing together:
1) Should I seperate the Power Supply PCB from the LM3886 PCB?  There is a scored line between the two and it doesn't look like any traces would be broke it I snapped it.

2) Do I need to heatsink the LM3886 while I'm soldering it?

Thanks again!

Yes you will want to break them apart.  You don't want the power super close to the amp section, you will get hum.  Plus the amp section can be hung off the heatsink via the LM3886 without problems, thats how I did mine.  As far as heatsinking the LM3886 while soldering, I wouldn't bother, it can take a ton of heat.  Unless you REALLY stink at soldering, it won't be a problem.  If you are worried, do a couple pins, let it cool, then do some more.

I have 2 more LM3886 kits available, someone who wants one, speak up!

Are there any kits left?

There aren't any more LM3886 kits, but I do have the 2 more boards and ICs.  So you would just have to get the resistors and capacitors.  If anyone is interested in that I will sell the power board, amp board and a LM3886 chip for $2.50, basically the shipping cost.

[steve_m]

Cool, can I have the boards? What address can I send the paypal payment?

[joecool85]

Fixr1984 and bassman4d521 - your kits are in the mail.
DreamSeller - I'm waiting for your money order to come in still
Steve_m - How many boards/ICs do you want?  I'll do one for $2.50 or both for $4 if you want them.

The address for paypaling me is joseph.raymond@umit.maine.edu
