8 Amp. Power Shield Load Test (Video

[@Mark-cj8bk]

Hi, great work! I enjoy following the presentations. If I may have one suggestion: please correct the slide supporting the 8A setup. The values are different from what you are explaining. And the explanation is making sense (so the slide must be off). Looking forward for the next vid! Kind regards, Mark

Thank you. Yeah, copy and paste ;-) Unfortunately it is not possible to replace the video, so I added it to the corrigenda in the description.

Could you help protect the chips from overheating by adding heatsinks to the board? Also, I noticed that you had a couple of lines wrong in your 8amp setup at 18:36 Looks like you had a couple of lines from your earlier 5amp slide :)

It would be possible to have a cooler at the backside of the board, but I am looking into other options as well. I did a detailed voltage loss analysis and it shows, that a good amount of the power loss comes from the connectors, even more than from the FET's. Certainly some more stuff to look into.

The slide at around 8:57 has incorrect column headings for Rds on, referring to mA, rather than the correct milliohm.

Thank you. I have added a note to the corrigenda in the description.

Can you get 6 dc district working please and dcc so you switch find way on your board

[@IoTT]

I'm waiting for the next version of DCC EX. Once the DC district support is finalized, I certainly will play with it.
