What are CoreWeaver/W8BH LC meter builders using
for LED's?? Are the 3mm or are they 5mm?
Also,? has anyone had trouble getting the CC capacitor to fit the
footprint?? What did you do? Did you just spread the capacitor
wires more?
What are you using for the M1 and M2 pins?? What are you using for
the test leads or test sockets?
Has anyone laid out a 3D case for this and made it yet?
Thank you.

Hello Jim WA7DUY,
I guess I was lucky to find the relays in stock.
I have ordered from Newark before, although it was many
years ago.
You just have to go with the distributor that carries the
part.
I suggest that you order as many parts from one distributor
as you can
to save on S&H.

Both Mouser and Digikey list the NA05WK 5v DPTD relay as
obsolete and no longer available but their searches gave no
alternatives.

was an odd value anyway but thought it might be a standard
1% value but apparently not.? My guess is that the 540 ohm
value is the mathematical calculation to get the desired
3.3v out of the LM317LZ with the 330 ohm that they used in
the divider and just verified that with the LM317 calculator

at 330 ohms and R2 at 560 ohms then LM317 should deliver
3.7v.

CoreWeaver's github page.? Thank you.? Now I have a few
other questions for you and Bruce and anyone else that built
it.

to set the LM317LZ output voltage?? I can not find that
value as a standard value for 5% or 1% resistors.? Only
Digikey listed a single 540 ohm ? watt 1% resistor and no
stock and required 1000 minimum order and 90 cents per
resistor at that quantity!? Should it actually be the
standard 560 ohms?? I also question why he used an LM317LZ
instead of one of the 3.3 volt LDO regulators. Does anyone
know?? I assume (yes I know what they say about that) that
it was because that was what he had in his junkbox but that
is only a guess.? Did anyone happen to use one of the TO92
footprint 3.3v ldo's there instead of the LM317?

same but the datasheet does not help me with orientation.?
The relay is symmetrical? and datasheet does not indicate
polarity but with a diode across it I would think it would
have to follow the correct voltage polarity.? What did
others use?
