Hello Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to read it a little more, when I am awake. I like to read myself to sleep at night. That works at work too. ha ha but Ya I will go through it again and if I do have a problem I will let you know. Thank You gogo

That is a good tutorial but it dosn't explain how to pour copper very good. That I could use some help with. gogo

paint burns unless its flamproof treated. gogo

I would like to learn more about those Surfboards if anyone has used them. All the stuff I have seen cost to much to play with. gogo

Wow thats a lot. When I did a search on google I just cam up with two hits and they were know help. Thank you. gogo

Hello I have a unipolar stepper motor Part # PM35S-048-HPE8 Made by NMB Its a small motor , runs off 12 volts. I am just trying to understand the wires. Theres 5 wires coming out of the motor colors are like this Yellow Brown Black Green Red. In that order. I am thinking the black is the common. that was easy, and the yellow and brown are for one winding andth the other two, Green Red are for the other. But what I don't know is which ones are for the center tap. Anyone seen something like this Thanks gogo

Isn't there a diode missing in that circuit? gogo

I like the way it is. As far as the rattings work. I think it just mean that the more you respond the higher rattings you get. I spend a lot of time reading on this form and have learned much. Never know Maybe someday I will move up from the newbie class. ha ha I still have a lot to learn. gogo

Ya Ya Ya the BEARS are doing good this year BUT ia am still a GREENBAY PACKER fan. Hey how can thoses guys call socer a manly game when they just run around and kick each other like girls do? Besides american don't try to kill each other over the game we just try to out drink each other. gogo

I like egale by Cadsoft When I first tried egale from cadsoft I didn't like it but now after using it for awhile I love it you can just about do anythiny with it. I got the free download and it dose have some limits like size of the board but I don't make big boards anyways. You can print out the pcb and even mirror the print. Also You export the image to a gif file.Cadesoft has a good site to get help on you just have to read a little or there is plenty of help on the web for it. I might try protel they have a interesting simulator in there shareware downloads I don't kown how good that is but its worth a try. have fun gogo

Wow I spend a lot of time reading on here . Maybe on a average of a hour a day sometimes two. How do you check your stats? gogo

Good reading But I do have a question. I am new to electronics and the question on capacitors kick another question. I read someplace that if you do not have the size capacitor that is called for its ok to go larger unless you working with r/c . is that true? thanks gogo

Wow the more I use Eagle the more I like it. At first Ihad a problem with 2 sided boards and the way eagle palced the traces, but now after playing around with the prog I figured out a few tricks. I think the best one is making most of the traces on the solder side. I do this by first running auto router with the top of board set as n/a and after its done routing only a few wires are left unrouted the I rerun auto router and set the top as - and the few remaining wires are placed on the top side. I like that. Just had to share my thoughts gogo

Nice site Chinaneon, gives some interesting ideas for my own projects. thanks gogo

Thank you that is a good site, I just started with arv's and this will help. have fun gogo

8) You know another thing you can do with Ferric Chloride is add Muriatic acid to it. Muriatic acid is about 30% Hydrochloric acid and the rest is water. That will replenish the mix > I add a quart of Muriatic acid to one gallon of mixed ferric chloride. Let sit for a day and its just as good as when I first mixed it. Learned that one off a user net site, whis I could find that site again Have fun gogo

Wow great response, Thank You all for your suggestion and info I wil get more in to the eagle web site and see what I can find. Thanks gogo

Hello I could use some advice. I use PCB Wizad software to make my PCB's I llike the program but it has a small component library. I do make my own symbols and it is easy to do. But I want something better. Eagle's software looks good and $125.00 for a noprofit license is not bad. I have dl'd the free tria and am trying it I have search some of the eagle support help files. But I think My problem is that I am new to electronics and I do not know the correct names to the components I want to use. I do look in parts catalogs and that dose help some but there are some Like. For example The power Socket 2.5ml that you plag a wall wart into. Pic 16F series microcontrolers eagles seems to have all the C series lm386 amp , I know its a linear device but I can't find it in the components list. I have more but I want to see if I get a response to this Also OK this is a question, The eagle software is a trial version, is the paid version better. As far as libraries go? Thanks for any respones gogo

OOPs I got to watch what I type late at night sorry about that, My math was wrong. Very Sorry gogo

No I use ferric chloride, I was just repeating what someone eles said about the microwave trick. I didn't think that was a good idea either. I like ferric chloride. Its easy to use and last a long time. Just have to be carefull not to spill it. Makes a nasty stain on everything. have fun gogo

Ya and theres a lot of other trailware out there too no thanks gogo

I dL it and tryed it Looks good. Thanks gogo

Sorry about that just had to say it. volts * (times) amps = watts and if you had a 110volt 100 watt light bulb it would draw how many amps 110 /100 =1.1 amps 110 devided by 100 equals 1.1

Ya confused try this 536 watts = 1 horse
