    Nokia AC-3X charger

    Try loading the charger with a 100 ohm resistor. The voltage should drop, but even if it does remain at 9V you will still be drawing only 90 mA . The charger's output is probably unregulated. For that matter, it's probably inadequately filtered for 50 Hz AC. If you're planning to use it for...

    Help on designing a watterproof device with external world connection

    No, unfortunately. ---------- Post added at 21:02 ---------- Previous post was at 20:52 ---------- tpetar has a good idea. use IR to transmit data from the device, and microwaves to power it. antennas are cheaper than photovoltaics, and LEDs are cheaper than transmitters.

    Help on designing a watterproof device with external world connection

    An RF signal (it would have to be microwave) strong enough to be rectified so as to charge the battery. The signal could be modulated to input information to the device, including (most importantly) that the transmission is about to pause so that the device can transmit its own data.

    regarding the low baud rate

    Low baud rates tend to be used if the transmission medium is incapable of supporting faster speeds. A higher baud rate means you can transfer more data in the same period of time. I assumed that since you mentioned an underwater application, water would be the transmission medium. If you are...

    regarding the low baud rate

    A low baud rate requires less bandwidth than a higher baud rate. You speak of "underwater application". Do you mean acoustic transmission?

    [SOLVED] what is the advantage of a direct conversion receiver

    Perhaps this will help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrature_phase

    Making a special FM transmitter

    If you're transmitting an FM signal, other FM receivers will hear it. There's not much you can do about that.

    wireless transmission

    Oh yes, there are many. Are you primarily receiving data from the various devices. or are you also sending data to them?

    wireless transmission

    Perhaps send the data in serial, rather than parallel form? Or, convert the 11 bits to 7 bits and use the Xbee. Using two Xbee's at once wouldn't work, because you'd probably end up communicating with two devices simultaneously.

    thyristorised dc drive

    Thank you for that datasheet. So he's supplying a 5V chip with 12V. Once the internal LEDs were lit, it would probably be the end of it. Just as well they're not grounded!

    thyristorised dc drive

    What exactly is the TLC2530? I haven't been able to find a datasheet for it. One search result comes up "optoisolator", though.

    thyristorised dc drive

    I'm taking his word for it that it actually functions (but share your skepticism) and assuming D3 is connected the other way around.

    thyristorised dc drive

    Maybe between the half-wave rectifier and the choke in series with the FET the voltage is brought down to a reasonable level. Just a guess.

    thyristorised dc drive

    So the controller is getting information on how fast the motor is turning, and putting out pulses to control the speed.

    thyristorised dc drive

    You say it works great. Does the output of the controller have any effect on the motor? Seems to me with D3 in the circuit, the motor would operate continuously.
