I’ll be sure to post the wiring diagram when I have one lol. Currently the whole project is just this breadboard. But, if you want to follow along, I’ll put a parts list in the description!
Hey! I’m also a bit of a newbie electronics hobbyist myself, my area of expertise is more with digital components. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but grounding the circuit won’t make the 170V safer for me necessarily. I also don’t think I’ll use it in the final design, I’ll just use a regular 12V barrel jack AC adapter. It works without a separate ground already, so rather than make it more complicated I’ll just keep the design as is.
@@Waluigi4Smash2018yeah “grounding it” doesn’t really mean anything here. You want to ground components that might accidentally carry charge i.e. metal casings, housings, etc. That way if they accidentally encounter live wires they have a path to ground and shouldnt build up charge that could harm you
@@ggeoffk2228 Yeah, that’s what I thought. The housing is either going to be plastic (acrylic?) or wood so no chance of getting shocked there. But there will be metal standoffs holding the two halves of the boards together, I’ll have to remember not to connect those to the circuit when I do the PCB design

I demand a walkthrough of a wiring diagram!

hi there, newbie electronics hobbyist here, shouldnt you ground the circuit somehow? 170V sounds dangerous
