Mag-Loop Controller - Part 2

Monday (my day off) was a very productive day.  The controller is mainly complete, with just the SWR bridge (still to be ordered) to add, and three more buttons related to that.


The focus will now move to the stepper motor and the Loop itself.  I bought a very cheap stepper motor from Jaycar to try with my existing QRP loop with its duel gang capacitor.  The motor is 5v so I will need to make allowances for that but worth a try! I may also need to use the end stop option.

Watch this space.
