Clear £7.05 £15.30 £10.45 £10.45 £5.60 £15.30 £8.05 £7.05 £8.05 PCBs for most recent PE/EPE constructional projects are available. From the July 2013 issue onwards, PCBs with eight-digit codes have silk screen overlays and, where applicable, are double-sided, have plated-through holes, and solder mask. They are similar to photos in the project articles. Earlier PCBs are likely to be more basic and may not include silk screen overlay, be single-sided, lack plated-through holes and solder mask. Always check price and availability in the latest issue or online. A large number of older boards are listed for ordering on our website. In most cases we do not supply kits or components for our projects. For older projects it is important to check the availability of all components before purchasing PCBs. Back issues of articles are available – see Back Issues page for details. 68 Practical Electronics | August | 2020 Double-sided | plated-through holes | solder mask PROJECT CODE MARCH 2018 igh ynchronised nalogue loc river ....................... 04202171 o er otor peed ontroller art + Control Board ................................................... 11112161 o er oard .................................................... 11112162 JANUARY 2018 igh o er uild the otor peed ontroller art .............. 11112161 mplifier odule ..................................... 01108161 DECEMBER 2017 recision oltage and urrent £16.45 OCTOBER 2016 £12.88 £12.88 £15.30 £12.88 £12.88 harger ontroller ......................................... 11111161 lasher mm ......................... 16109161 mm ......................... 16109162 hono nput onverter ...................................................... 01111161 £12.88 £8.00 £5.60 £8.00 SEPTEMBER 2017 ompact igit requency eference ingerprint ccess ontroller ingerprint ccess ontroller £15.35 attery icropo er eter..................................... 04105161 eter..................................... £12.88 icromite ased ouch screen oat omputer ....... 07102122 ridge/ reezer larm ......................................................... 03104161 £10.45 £8.00 AUGUST 2017 JULY 2017 icromite ased uper loc ........................................... 07102122 ro nout rotector for nduction otors ........................... 10107161 JUNE 2017 ltrasonic arage ar ing ssistant ................................. 07102122 otel afe larm................................................................ ................................................................ 03106161 d tereo udio evel/ eter ......................... 01104161 PRICE £10.45 £12.90 £10.45 £8.00 £17.75 ain oard ...................... 03109151 itch oard ................... 03108152 £12.88 rduino ased lectrocardiogram ............................ 07108151 W itchmode/ inear ench upply art ............. 18104141 £9.79 £20.83 SEPTEMBER 2016 arty trobe............................................................... trobe............................................................... 16101141 peedo orrector .............................................................. 05109131 AUGUST 2016 o cost esistance eference ........................................ 04108151 o er onitor ........................................................... 04109121 JULY 2016 rive ay onitor etector nit ...................................... 15105151 rive ay onitor eceiver nit ..................................... 15105152 harging oints......................................................... oints......................................................... 18107151 £9.80 £12.00 £5.36 £12.00 £11.80 £7.50 £5.00 For the many pre-2016 PCBs that we stock please see the PE website: www.electronpublishing.com PE/EPE PCB SERVICE Order Code Project Quantity Price ......................................................... ......................................................... ......................................................... ......................................................... .........................................................
