Today, 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...1 replies | 37 view(s)

Today, 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 | 136 view(s)

Today, 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...3 replies | 89 view(s)

Yesterday, 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. My reasoning is that to use the MOSFET as a switch its gate voltage needs raising...3 replies | 148 view(s)

Yesterday, 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 | 827 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 | 827 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.
