​

​15th November 2007 - Construction night.

Members were given a project to construct: the Gizzmo 1.

According to its designer (Graham Dicker, VK5ZFZ), the Gizzmo1 ©  produces:
 1. Two x the dc voltage input + (1 x negative), ideal to power op amps or produce higher output voltages than normally available
2. second use is as an inductance bridge to measure inductance from 2-200 henries
3. a variable frequency squarewave generator from 10Hz-1500 Hz for testing purposes.
4. fourth use to drive a 2n3055 and reverse connected transformer as a 12v DC to 240v ac inverter for portable use.
5. plus many more ideas that people will come up with.

Many thanks to:
Graham for running the project, creating 65 complete kits, with circuit diagrams, and providing help and explanations to club members as their constructions progressed.
 Also thanks to Terry Knowles, of Force Electronics at Holden Hill, who made up the PCB's.
