  1. mozikluv you and your questions are always welcome :) !

    1. Attach the plier to the ground for some seconds to discharge it. Handle it from an insulated grasp. Then align the pins without fear. If you want to feel more secure attach the plier to the ground via a cable, but i think it's not quite necesarely. The weather also helps if it's humid to have less atmoshpere charges.

    2. I don't know about wood, but it's surelly better than having a moquette or carpet ;D !!

    3. See -> 1

  2. The best way to hanlde electrostaticly sensitive devices is to supply your work bench with an antistatic mat which is connected to the ground. Also you must discharge yourself. For that reason use a conductive wrist connected to ground. There are special Antistatic Work Surface Kits and equipment like below:



    But in case you what to handle electrostatic sensitive devices occasionaly and don't want to buy any special equipment, follow the rules below :

    1. Don't handle CMOS circuits directly.
    2. Avoid touching metal leads and other circuit areas when handling devices with CMOS parts.
    3. Discharge your hands by touching a fount.
    4. Try to handle CMOS from it's case.
    5. Use a pincer to install the cmos, which you have connected to the ground.

    If you follow these rules you can install it succesfully. Keep in mind that cmos can be installed succesfully without following any of these rules if you are lucky, but these rules will reduce the chance to damage it.

  3. Hello EDY!

    You are right, the english writing of a japanise people reflects the japanese complexity !!

    hFE is a number which accompany each BJT transistor (may differ from transistor to transistor). It's a number that tells you how many times the base current will be multiplied and finally ampified. The amplified current it's the current that flows from C (collector). You need to know this if you are using the transistor for amplification. If you use it just for a on-off state you don't care much about it.

    You must believe (like a principle) that the BE voltage when transistor conducts is 0,6V. It's like the constant voltage of a common diode right polarized. Also a voltage of about 0,2V exists at CE when the transistor conducts.

    Having this things in mind (also the 12V at IN) you can easily calculate the resistor current. The base current must be enough to take the transistor in full conduct. It is controlled by R1. So R1 must have such a value to make the transistor condust. If the base current is small then the C current is proportional to this small current. If the base current exceed a value (it depends on the transistor) then the C current depends on the internal resistance of the relay because it like closing a switch between Collector and Emitter.

    I wish i helped to clarify the transistor characteristics, but keep in mind that it's not so easy to understund the BJT transistor in one day. Everyday you will detect a new characteristic until you finally undestand it completely.

    Tell me if something went wrong.

  4. Hello EDY

    I attach you the datasheet of bzx85c diodes series. It's only 58,8kB

    Tip: when you search for a part's datasheet like the above bzx85c180, try to guess if there is a main name and a prefix of subfix, like happened in this situation. The bzx85c is the diode number and the 180 is the subfix.
    With a search string bzx85c180 you will not find any datasheet, but with bzx85c.pdf you will find some.

    Cheers ;)

  5. The good think is that there is a special Silver Conductive Pen and with it you can make conductive traces to design a circuit. Mainly it is used to repair pcb faults.

    The bad thing is that you must route the circuit by hand and maybe you must use a transparency paper or another paper of same surface to avoid absorbe into it.

    I don't know if there is a special ink for your printer to make your life easier but i think it's improbable in common inject printers to do that even if the ink exists.

    Take a look:





    Also visit some manufactures:

  7. This happens if you measure the voltage across the final diode.

    If you measure the voltage at the point where the last capacitor and diode are connected (upper right corner of the circuit) refering to the ground then the voltage you measure is the multiplied one.

  10. The best way is to use a FM Linear like this:

    Linear FM 30Watt : http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/rf/010/index.html

    This circuit connects to the output of your transmiter and it is able to make a 4-5W transmitter to 25-30W one.

    Alternative you can use a FM antenna booster (active antenna) like this: http://www.electronics-lab.com/projects/rf/022/index.html

    About the anntenas you can read this article: http://www.scott-inc.com/html/fmant.htm

  11. The designer of the circuit writes that the filter must be driven by a preaplifier, but i think that it can be also driven by an amplifier directly.

    Don't worry about the pontesiometers. They will do the jod.

    I haven't tested it, so i don't know about any effect in the cut-off frequency.

    No there is no need of a crossover. The circuit will cut off all frequences out from the 20-100Hz ragne.

  12. I use OrCAD which is a compete electronics development studio. It includes schematic capture, spice and layout editor.

    I like it but it is not very easy to design a pcb. It has autoroute function but it is not so "clever" it can turn a simple pcb into a huge one. Maybe i make a mistake in operetion of that software.

    Otherwise you can use it to manual route your pcb and then the result can be nice.

    The component database is huge also and i have not noticed any pad problems.
