Has anyone here wound their own components?
I'm experimenting by winding my own inductor (and eventually a transformer) by using a ferrite core and a reel of enameled wire.
Obviously winding by hand is pretty slow. How much does it matter if the coil isn't perfectly uniform and 'straight'? Like if the wires cross back and forth? Would it affect the inductance?
Any thoughts welcome
