Default Simon Johnson is a **nt!!!

Now I know you all think the word is 'c*nt' but in this case its actually 'gent'!!! Wow, I can't believe I have posted that!

Anyhow, a few days ago I was asking on here about regulating voltage to 9v for a little project I was working on and Simon took it upon himself to offer make up to send me the electical gizmo It arrived and works fine

This is what landed:





And it fitted within a little space I had spare on my 'thing':





So thankyou Simon, I guess I owe you one

He seems to get a bad rep for the way he ran his buisness, but looks to be very clever when it comes developing products. I wonder how many of the ecu upgrades/addons that seem to be so popular were originaly developed by him.

Martin, (and most others) thanks for the positive comments

I made it out of stuff that I just had spare. It isnt an ideal desgn but does the job.

I am just trying to work out what the gadget is ... Mmmmm !
Looks like some kind of amplifier/modulator or maybe a stepper motor driver.

Oh well, hope it all works out what ever it does..

Not when it's martin, everyone knows martin is a popular guy on here, so by doing him a quick favour simon can feed off the good feelings that people have for martin, just like he latched onto mike rainbird years ago, its only the little people like you that simon fucks over in an instant

Simon isnt stupid
