I have a large Optrex graphic LCD, model DMF-50840.<p>It doesn't have a controller.<p>I'm still a n00b when it comes to a lot of aspects of electronics, so I'm asking if someone can look over the data sheet and tell me if a SED1330-compatible controller could be made from a PIC? If it can be done, I...

With current draw, I think everyone's overlooking the point where current draw is the maximum on most cordless drills.<p>The brake. You take your finger off the trigger, the electronic brake engages, current is used to stop the motor.<p>Does your battery have a mAh rating stamped on it? If so, you c...

Two AAs :p

What's wrong with going the simple route of a steady IR beam and a comparator on the other end to set a threshold of IR light? I know there could be problems with IR leakage, but I highly doubt it in this case.

To expand upon what Russ is saying, I'll add a couple things:<p>1) You may or may not have to match the input. If your amplifier has a 1/4" jack (looks like a headphone jack) for microphone input, you'll be fine. That's a "High-Z", or high impedence, input. If it has an XLR (three pin...

I disagree.<p>It seems logical that efficiency would come into play, just the same as it does in DC power supplies.

I started in PIC programming almost a year ago. It seems funky at first, especially if you've never written code in assembler before.<p>With the STAMP, there are commands that make up several lines of assembler. The stamp is much easier if you've used a program such as BASIC before.<p>In short, I've...

I'm not sure what devices you're using for vision Harold, but I have a little idea.<p>Take a laser diode (any wavelength) and put it through a diffraction grating. The pattern reflecting off objects would be something like:<p> x x x x x x x x x<p>A CCD camera would have a filter on it, the same wave...

I agree the MAX038 is a little overkill for your application.<p>It's like using a shotgun to kill a snail

I've been banned from the net for a while. Sorry.<p>Wayne: yes, I received it. Thanks a bunch, works great! Sorry I wasn't able to let you know earlier :( <p> I was thinking about chaining two of my 10amp comp supplies together. Would I just be able to parallel the outputs? It doesn't seem like it w...

Well I was figuring a 555 timer to generate the pulse signal, and then 2 MOSFETS in parallel (would this work????) to switch the 12VDC through the transformer...<p>I mean, I understand the whole concept of SMPS...but what worries me is the 350W capacity that I need to cover.

I need to convert 12VDC to +/-56VDC at 8A.<p>I can't afford an off-the-shelf product, but I have plenty of parts around, and I can buy small stuff like transformers.<p>thanks!

I got the small catalog too. It was filled with hardly any parts, and a lot of "home electronics" stuff. I'm suprised that Jameco is expanding to that line of products.<p>I didn't think much of the small catalog though, because I have 10+ past catalogs that do just fine.
