taillight converter - the other way
The other thing you could do, depending if the 4-wire source supplies enough power, is as follows: Connect R1 to R through a NC (normally closed) relay controlled by L. Connect L1 to L through a NC relay controlled by R. Connect B to L, R or running lights (if those are always on) through two NO (no...

stripping insulation from magnet wire
I've wanted to make my own inductors, too - for an analog theremin.
Would you please describe your calculations?
Thanks!

Motor control requirements
The DimensionEngineering motor controllers have many very useful features - worth imitating if you are going to sell these things. I used the SyRen25 ( http://www.dimensionengineering.com/SyRen25.htm ), which was very good, but the price is not fabulous. Maybe it would be worth making separate contr...

Getting Started w/PIC Microcontrollers - advice, please?
gerty, Thanks for the great info. I think I'll mount the board on an insulator first thing if when I get it. Is it the MikroBasic that's giving you problems? I was thinking of using MikroC... Since you seem to be working through the learning curve, is there anything else that I should know, look out...

Getting Started w/PIC Microcontrollers - advice, please?
Hi all, Thanks for the VB advice. I was actually originally asking about PIC development boards. If you read my original post (top of the page), I'm considering MikroElektronika's EasyPIC5 board. I'm wondering: considering the requirements of my project - graphical LCD, 7-seg. LCD or LED, CF card us...

Thanks for the tip. I'll take a look...
Yes, I have back-issues since Nov. 2006.
Do you think it would be easier for me to build my own setups even when using such devices as CF cards and graphical LCD's?

Getting Started w/PIC Microcontrollers - advice, please?
I am designing and building a remote-controlled filming device (similar to a CAMCAT®) as an independent project at my high-school. I have been working hard on this project for many months, and recently finished debugging the proof of concept. This fully functioning prototype has been used now in fi...

variable output switching power supply
I don't know if you are hoping to build the circuit yourself... If you are just looking for a variable switching regulator, DimensionEngineering makes two: the AnyVolt Micro Universal DC-DC Converter , which can regulate up or down, and can source 0.5A, and the 10W Step down adjustable switching reg...
