so, not quite finished yet.. but the balsa proto didnt work out like i wanted, i ended up scrapping the whole thing in a fit of rage....
no, but i did scrap that.. went back to the computer, and had some guys print me out a prototype that looks like its going to work.
all i need to do is connect the RCA plug to the BMS and the RCA plug to the heater driver (going to use some spade connectors wrapped in heatshrink) and measure and drill a 5/8" hole (maybe 11/16") for the heater glass tube to sit in and it should be ready for its maiden voyage..
couldnt find my stepped bit over the weekend and with Easter holiday, never made it to the store to get a new one. so thats on the agenda for tonight after work, maybe get that hole placed and drilled.
