Arduino PWM code and voltage sensing
Arduino code is hosted here. This code is far from finalized and represent only one of many possible design approaches. Post as many variations or improvements as you can as long as they have advantages.
Design buck/boost converter circuit/module
Volt-second balance on the inductor means that the average voltage across it over one switching cycle is zero
Discontinuous mode is when current through the output inductor is zero for part of the switching cycle
Figure out ways to salvage or build transformers
Investigate ways to use high frequency for more efficiency in power transformation as well as smaller inductors.
With new Silicon Carbide MOSFET technology, maybe feasible to use flyback transformer at high frequency as described here. A suitable MOSFET for this application costs around $15 but could be offset by smaller transformer.
A flyback transformer would most likely be operated in continuous conduction mode, so transformer size will be limited by core saturation. A toroid with powder core could be a suitable solution.
