Hello stimer and people who are interested in that kind of topic!
I want to leave a little tutorial to build a kind of simple estim stereo device because this forum is still lacking a bit of useful information about that topic. An own build device is still the cheapest way to get into that "hobby" and those devices are really powerful and can handle all kind of signals.
This tutorial shows my own device which I'm very happy with... possible that there are more smarter and better designs out there. Just want to share one more idea because when you search for that stuff and have not very deep knowledge in electronics, a lot of posts/tutorials will blow your mind.
So I tried to keep this very simple.
I will also add a shopping list for all parts you need, I'm living in Germany, so all those parts are linked to German online shops, but everything are basic electronical parts and should be available all over the world.
This tutorial doesn't offer the easiest way for a DIY unit, you should have some basic knowledge in electronics and be able to soldering some cables/components together.
But you don't have to been an electrician for this! I also have only very basic skills, you can see on the pics attached.
For your own safety only follow this tutorial if you feel safe to handle some electric DIY stuff.
Lets start with the shopping list:
1x Case to fit everything inside - 12,94€
1x 2 x 35W stereo AMP - 28,26€
1x Cooler for the AMP - 4,36€
2x 100V voltage transformers - 12,28€
2x 1k Ohm high load resistance - 6,80€
2x 10k Ohm Pots - 3,02€
2x Volume buttons for pots - 7,26€
2x Power switch (power + triphase) - 2,62€
1x Power connector for power supply - 3,18€
2x Cinch connector - 6,98€ (choose two different colors)
4x Ports for electrodes - 8,92€ (choose 2x black + 2x different colors)
2x 5m 1,5mm² cable - 8,14€ (pick red + black)
1x 12V power supply - 29,99€ (120W is maybe not needed, but can recommend this one)
For safety reasons make sure to pick one that is double insulated and has some good quality, don't buy cheap ones without any declaration about that!
Looks like Leicke changed there production and this one isn't anymore a class 2!
Of course this device could also be powered by a 12V battery which is also a safe way.
---------------------------------------------------
Total: 124,75 €
Symbol for double insulated power supplies, square inside a square.
Next you only need to know how to wire those components up... here you go, I have created a hopefully simple plan.
(the resolution is higher if you open the pic right click -> open picture)
Don't forget to add the triphase switch, trust me you will like it and this will save some complex external wires.
Here are some example pics of my box... as said I'm not expert in this topic and this could look way better but the important part is that it's working.
Top left = Left channel
Bottom left = right channel
Top right = Cinch stereo computer audio input
Bottom right = Triphase switch
Maybe that will help someone who is looking for a device at the moment.
Feel free to leave some feedback, infos or questions.
