- This is a Mosfet Based Spot welder made using IRFB7430 mosfet paired with a OLED display, rotary encoder and ATMEGA328P IC. This is a projet inspired by This Project
- This is a two PCB Design and made such that one can order the PCB as a whole and has to separate the PCBs by Cutting manually to save cost.
- It has two Aluminum parts that attach to the PCB since the circuit will be dealing high current of about 400A in a single pulse
- The pulse timing can be adjusted using the rotary encode and is very simple to use.
- It has a onboard programmer for the ease of programming the board
- Flash using Arduino IDE with ATmega328P bootloader and 9600 baud rate
- The Code is not tested yet on my design
- IRFB7430 Mosfet
- Atmega328p as the MCU
- 0.96 128x64 oled display
- ABR-PR-12APBTX90 Amaron 12v 9Ah Battey for high short pulse current
- 6AWG wire to handle the high current
- 4010 fan
- 2mm solid copper wire
We need to connect the GND of the Battery from the IN sign and connect to the U shaped aluminium portion followed by the rectangular aluminium block as one of the probes the other probe will the positive terminal of the battery.
