Hello all,
I have been diagnosed with poly neuro pathy, witch means the nerves in my extremities are dying, witch comes sadly enough with a constant pain in my toes. Using a TENS does help allot against the pain. The problem is that all machines turn themselves off after a while. I have experimented and came to the conclusion that if I would have a machine that would work 5 minutes every 30 minutes I would be mostly painfree, therefore my interest in this topic.
In almost every schematic that I find concerning this subject I see that a trafo is used. I have been looking online intensely but have not found any of those small trafo not the parts to wind one myself.
Is there anybody that either has a schematic that doesn't require a trafo, or otherwise a source online where I could find this part.
Also, does anybody know if the output voltage of these circuits would lower then 300Vpp, so that I can safely connect the outputs to my oscilloscoop, witch is brandnew and I would like to keep in a good working order. I have ordered a convertor so I can measure the current with my oscilloscoop, it has a BNC output.
Thanks to everybody for any help offered in this matter, I am on disability partly because I am in constant pain.
