  1. Hey logan_dslasher
      yes, UPS's can supply backup for a long time but the longer the time and amount of curent adds to the price, big ones are not cheap. You can find ones to backup the power of a computer system for 30 minutes for under a 100 bucks us, and they get bigger,  but they cost more. UPS systems give you time to shutdown you system without loseing informamtion. As far as Radios, and TV's,Ya they can be found but at a price. But still to buy one would cost less then to make one.

  2. hello Zeppelin
    OK

    mju 1, 250 = 1 micro Farads, 250 volts

    1n, 400 = .001micro Farads, 400 volts

    mju 33, 100 = 33micro Farads, 100 volts

    10n,400 = .01micro Farads, 400volts

    Farads, micoFarads, nanoFarads, picoFarads

    The first is the value, and the second is the voltage
                            hope this helps

  3. Hello kazeem Hassan
        UPS, uninterrupted Power supply, There nice to have but I think it would cost less just to buy one rather then to try to make one. Unless you have a good source to buy the batteries at.

  4. Hi Ante
      Ya it looks pretty cool, just wish I could find someone who has one to see if its any good. The reason for that is because there is another hot air Iron station I am looking at for around 200 bucks. and  I was thinking maybe i should go that way. Don't know yet. Just waiting for different replys.

  6. Hello cynicmonster
        I tried different ways of desoldering. I used solder wicks, spring loaded solder suckers. even used a probane tourch. All work to some degree but I found a better tool that didn't cost that much, Its called a Desoldering Iron, its sort of like a soldering iron but has a hole in the center of the tip and a squeze ball atttacted to it. Works real good and I got one at Radio Shack for under 15 bucks. Its cool you let the iron heat up and when its ready you just squeze the ball and place the iron on the solder joint you want to desolder, when you see the solder start to melt release the squeze ball and the solder is sucked up, nice and clean. I have been tearing apart old printers and stuff and found it to work real good on transistors and even ic's.

  7. Hello airbornflght

        The microcontroller windoze killa is talking about could be program c, c++, basic, or asm. It all depends on what compiler you are using. You said you got a LCD for 3 bucks, wow did it come with the controller?

  8. Hello Kevin
        I can answer that question because i'm one of them guys. I'm just a hobbiest and not a very smart one at that so I try different things that I know nothing about just to see how it works. Then when it dosen't work I post a question on the form to see what I did wrong.
                                            Have fun

  9. I don't think I would were a wrist strap around High Voltage. I thought the strap was made so it would let your body stay netural when working low power compoinents.

  10. Nice setup alkv23
        I always clean up my lab befor I start a new project, ha ya, I would take a picture of it, if only I could figure out what pile of junk I left my camera  under.

  11. Thank You Ante

      Bigger is better, good thing because I have a bunch of 5 watt resistors I have been  saveing. I have been tearing apart old dot matrix printers and finding all kinds of good stuff. What a goldmine and people almost pay you to take em off there hands.
                                Thanks again

  12. Hi Ante
        I would use a MJ4502 if I could find one. I only going to build a 2 or 3 amp power supply. I'll Keep looking. Two 2n2955 will work, have to see if I can find them.
                                                      Thanks Ante
