Hi, I got Jim's sstc board today, and was wondering whether anyone has 
assembled it yet. I don't really understand how it all works, This will be 
my first attempt at a sstc.Has anyone got it working successfully? what 
What is the purpose of the 2 big variable resistors? IT seems to me that 
one of them is connected right across the supply, so if was using an 80 amp 
5 volt supply and st the pot to minim resistance itd be impressive to say 
the least. ANy tips would be much appreciated.

thanks,
