Today, 08:23betwixt replied to a thread Problem with Logitech Audio PCB (No Sound Output) in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsThe slight differences are nothing to worry about. If one channel works and the other doesn't but the voltages are almost the same, it suggests...26 replies | 1334 view(s)

Yesterday, 12:46I don't think this is a reset signal timing or power supply problem. By paralleling two oscillator circuits you run the risk of them randomly not...8 replies | 299 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:46betwixt replied to a thread cd4060 used in sensor circuit in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsI agree, but to describe it as a TDS meter is somewhat misleading, for example the domestic water here has little conductivity but extremely high...3 replies | 194 view(s)

Yesterday, 09:29That's very bright (and hot) for a microscope. I use a low power LED. Why do you need it to be so bright? Brian.15 replies | 401 view(s)

20th August 2019, 15:31betwixt replied to a thread cd4060 used in sensor circuit in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsNo idea. But I can tell you that you can't measure TDS with an electrical probe. It has to be done optically and I don't see any source or detector...3 replies | 194 view(s)

20th August 2019, 13:19betwixt replied to a thread LTC 4367 Transistor burning Issues in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsApologies, your original schematic shows an unconnected source at pin 9 but I see from the data sheet it is an 8-pin device with internally connected...4 replies | 155 view(s)

20th August 2019, 09:20I don't know of any such device but most PIR sensors are mounted in 'zoned' lenses anyway. They work by comparing the IR in adjacent zones (A B A B A...4 replies | 192 view(s)

20th August 2019, 09:06betwixt replied to a thread LTC 4367 Transistor burning Issues in Hobby Circuits and Small Projects ProblemsI presume the source connection on Q2 is connected to +50V, it isn't shown in the schematic. Gradual reduction in output suggests something is...4 replies | 155 view(s)

19th August 2019, 22:22betwixt replied to a thread Will I be able to drive LED with attached analog circuit ? in Analog Circuit DesignIt will work but I would use a bipolar transistor in this circuit.

19th August 2019, 08:23betwixt replied to a thread Sine PWM calculated with pic, instead of using table in MicrocontrollersThat seems a far better solution. There is an error in your table at 199 but that may be because of text formatting on Edaboard, I see a gap between...22 replies | 888 view(s)

18th August 2019, 16:19betwixt replied to a thread Sine PWM calculated with pic, instead of using table in MicrocontrollersRemember that you can't produce two different PWM signals simultaneously with only one PWM generator but if one of the signals is the inverse of the...22 replies | 888 view(s)

16th August 2019, 19:24betwixt replied to a thread NodeMCU sinking current through DIO while power is off in Analog Circuit DesignI'm hardly surprised, disconnecting the ground will almost certainly violate the maximum voltage and polarity ratings of the nodeMCU.
