Re: Altronix 6062 Question
Sounds like you're on the right track. As to the value of the cap, that would depend on the current draw of the timer board, and the amount of time. I would try something in the 1,000 microfarad range first and take it from there.

We were doing a house rehab once and the alarm people used a RC car to pull wires in tight places under the house.

Re: wireless cameras
Don't know what your area is like, but when we have that problem here the Sheriff's dept will come and put up a game camera or two . They use them in pot patches also.

Re: Constant AC current ?
[quote="Externet"]Thanks, gerty. That does not maintain a constant current if you increase the number of LEDs in series. By the way, in your picture, you can replace the 1N914 with another LED in counterparallel instead of wasting the opportunity to double the light. :smile:[/quote] With t...
