Chillin' out during an arduous reverse engineer
Added 2025-06-05 02:54:21 +0000 UTCI had to take a break from the reverse engineering of the solar power controller. So I made some brackets and hacked some solar lights for relaxation.
The openscad script is in the video description on YouTube.

These circuits are ultra low power. Any conformally coated industrial panels I've seen tend to coat up to the heatsink, but not the heat sink itself.

2025-06-08 17:49:28 +0000 UTCDoes the corrosion resisting lacquer cause any issues with heat dissipation? Probably not a lot of heat issues in this circuit, but (extreme example) if I painted the stuff on a heat sink would it reduce its effectiveness? Thanks!
