    Re-wiring headphones using CAT5/6

    Thanks for the search term. I thought it would be easier to find is all, rather than some cores being screened & some not. Any less than 4 cores mean an extra connection(see right of pic). ..although I still have the problem of how to split the ears/mic under the chin without making a...

    Re-wiring headphones using CAT5/6

    My understanding of electronics is patchy to say the least, but: Looking at the thin cables on 2 different mic'd headsets ...they don't seem to have any shielding & the same for the telephone cable you mention. Why would I need shielding when using CAT5/6 ? ---------------------- I'd rather...

    I have 3 lots of headphones that need rewired ...one has a mic also. I've made some intermediate repairs on the existing cables & its crazy light almost to the point of being impossible to work with. The time has come to completely replace the cables from speaker/mic to jack. What do you guys...

    need help with DIY: low-budget accurate double-sided PCB manufacture ..no UV?

    thanks for the reply... sry I don't get this part & hate doing things I don't understand; the 2 sides can be aligned perfectly using the bag method but inserting the pcb surely means some degree of misalignment..as the bag sides are pushed further apart ...doesn't it make more sense to do each...

    mosfet drive bridge --> DC motor/fan ..need help

    interesting.. I like the idea of amplifying the pwm outputs(0-5v) to (0-10v) to get the necessary range I'v just been reading about digipots **broken link removed** SPI is compatible with Arduino the AD5206 Digital Potentiometer in the example(click the green above) is only 5v, but I found...
