    Have you ever seen this type of cap?

    Well Betwixt, since David90 stated that the capacitors in question "looked like" the picture he posted, I assumed that they were similar but not exactly alike. I made my comment based on his description and, since no one else had made mention of caps that deliberately have a slit in the top, I...

    Have you ever seen this type of cap?

    From your description the caps sound like spark gap capacitors. Do a Google search if you need more information. Mike

    [SOLVED] Analog meter scale draw.

    I have both versions. MeterBasic is the freeware version - Meter is the commercial version. Both versions function identical. The commercial version allows you to print more than one scale, use different colors, change fonts, etc. but the basic functionality of both versions is the same. If...

    Universal Battery Charger

    Steve, I think if you check Dallas AN 105 you'll find the DS1821 is capable of hi-resolution. If you want some to play with, I can mail you a handful :-) Mike

    PIC Based Low Cost ESR meter

    Hello Neelandan, I've been looking at your circuit this evening and it looks like an interesting project. I've tried to correlate the schematic to your board layout and I'm having some problems with parts placement. There are parts on the schematic that I can't locate on the board layout and...

    Child toy swing...converting from batteries to plug in

    Actually that will NOT work. The 3 batteries are in series which means that the negative end of the first battery is connected to the positive end of the second battery and the negative end of the second battery is connected to the positive end of the third battery. By connecting the 3...

    [Questions] About Inductor

    Danny- "but what does "18 gauge" means?" There are several wire gauge standards and it would depend on which standard was used when the coil size was defined. I would generally assume that the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard would be used which would make 18AWG wire 0.0403 inches or 1.02362...

    Transformerless power supply

    transformerless power supply circuit I think the latest comments about uploading files that are available elsewhere on the web are a little late when it comes to this posting. Did any of you bother to look at the date of the orignal post? Comments/questions/answers to postings that are over 3...

    Need to reverse a dc motor with two, on/off switches

    If you can follow this crude sketch, you can reverse direction on your DC motor simply by reversing the polarity of the power source. Two switches are all it takes, one to turn the motor on (S-1/SPST) and the other to control the direction (S2/DPDT). HTH -- Mike
