<p>The new pcb for the power supply filter arrived.</p>
<p>I assembled the components ( after finding the whoops ) and connected it to the bench power supply for nnaida2.</p>
<p>nnaida2 functions just about the same as before but the power supply filter results seem amazing.</p>
<p>I have measured the signals on the power supply before and after the filter.</p>
<p>The 'scope is referenced to earth on the filter board and this earth is connected to earth through the +5v@10A supply.</p>
<p>Before the filter the average noise on the rail ( AC coupled ) is 33mV and after is ....... 5mV pretty exciting stuff.</p>
<p> I have attached the two 'scope pictures.</p>
<p>The same measurements on the +7v, -6v and 0v rails give similar improvements.</p>
<p>The choke on the +5v rail measures 34 degrees C so care will need to be taken.</p>
<p>Next I will measure the voltage drops across the filter and decide on the correct voltage settings for the AIDA switch mode power supply.</p>
<p>Then install the filter into the supply and check ..... and check ......</p>
