Re: Searching for IC

If you want momentary led'ing then just add some leds via limiting resistors to the keypad column lines. If the keypad has a built in diode matrix for key selection then you could (laboriously) substitute leds for them.<p>If you want to toggle thenI would either use the microcontroller to switch led...

Re: Please help - UK Electronics Student

Righty 'O',<p>I assume you are allowed to use 'black box' technology - esp to stay within the regulations, so for your tranmitter/receivers use one of the ready made modules from RF solutions www.rfsolutions.co.uk or www.bitztechnology.com or www.radio-tech.co.uk or www.ratiometrix.co.uk. <p>OK so t...

Re: Need Thermal Cutoff (Fuse) Source

A thought just struck me, you are definitely sure it's a thermal fuse? No chance it's a miniature PCB/axial fuse as they can be purchased as 2.5A with a usage temp 110-120@ 230v.<p>bodgy

Re: chip resistor?

Well I thought he was thinking about SMD devices 1206/0805/0603 etc.<p>OTOH if he is talking about SIL/DIL resister arrays then I would think most proper suppliers would have them.<p>Sorry I tend not to think of Tandy/Radio Shack as proper component suppliers.<p>bodgy

Re: chip resistor?

Or with the way the A$ is to the US$ have a look at www.rockby.com.au all surplus but a very good price in 10's for some.<p>Also normal retail www.jaycar.com.au in 10's not a big choice. However including the postage it could actually work out cheaper than Digikey.<p>

Not that Mr Williams is any way minded to a particular setup ;) <p>You could also look at the Atom from Basic Micro - though I haven't used this, or possibly the setup from Melabs.<p>But to get myself back in favour with Mr Willaims, the Stamp does have plenty of 3rd party books and programs etc.<p>...
