Re: driving glow-starter with very low voltage

Thank you very much for this suggestion. I am in North America and the transformer specified for the calibrex project is very difficult to find. I was able to use the existing circuit to turn on the EL “inverter” and the modifications to the program were very straightforward Happy to share details i...

UVEX is complete and I have been testing it with some discharge lamps and comparing my spectra with the results for an Ocean Optics spectrometer - very comparable! I am waiting on a few parts for ...
