Hi Yes, but it is not a good way of reducing the voltage of a wallwart! No, its not true, when increasing the current the voltage to the load is decreasing and vice versa and this is a very bad way of reducing voltage to a load! //Staigen

Hi there steveggz, velcome to this forum! :) Transformers aren't DC, maybee it is a 12 Volt 1 Amp DC Wallwart or something similar? The easiest way to power your camera i belive, is to use a 7809 regulator between your "transformator" and camera, it have 9 Volt out, but your camera will work just fine on 9 Volt! Dont forget to put your 7809 on a heatsink of proper dimensions! //Staigen

Hi again I was right, here is the Toshiba version: //Staigen 2SA1015.pdf

Hi there Autir I think the 2SA1015 curves are a fake! ;D I will check out on the net if i can get something //Staigen

Hi Glen No, these were not scsi connection! They are relay and current output and input is hi/lo level and current. I'm not very good at the english language ;D! //Staigen

Hi Sorry i haven't been online for a while, the monitor brooke down :( Ok Thats nice, show us moore :) Maybee i haven't read properly, but wich one used scsi And please, dont call your terminal "touchscreen", it is a terminal that have a touchscreen! //Staigen

Hi If you got confused by the X10 system there are other ways to go, i only pointed you at the X10, the meaning was that you shoud look at how they did, and than design something similar! I found some PDF-files about X10, and downloaded two of them, but im sure you get them too. You can also design a system that is diffrent from the X10, one that you can understand totally. :) //Staigen

Hey Audioguru, you know how to google, i have my tricks too! ;D ;D ;D //Staigen

Hi Why not, its allready built in, that way you can have 2 icons, one dark and one in a brighter colour, indicating if the appliance is on or off! :) Observe, i saying appliance, it can contol much moore than a lamp, you can even manage the heating in your house, if it have electrical or electronic control, also open and close your garage port. I told you, it's only your imagination that is the limit!

Hi Okay ECET0purdue, i wont reply to TekNoir so you can get peace in your topic. You dont miss so much, i belive it goes like this: In car: Terminal <--> USB Dongle Thats all in the car In house: USB Dongle <--> USB Controller IC <==> Microcontroller <--> X10 Controling Devices -->Appliances Where: <-->

Hi ECET0purdue, sorry for the late reply

You didn't press hard enough! :) :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D //Staigen

^This was the start button^^

Pressing the start button? ??? //Staigen

Hi all To TekNoir A PocketPC is also a computer! And an ordinary PC is also a computer and so are a MAC! Even the old Commodore 64 is a computer! And this terminal is a computer too!

Hey walid, read the posts moore carefully! ateso8634 already have a 2 terminal trimmer and needed a 3 terminal one! Thats why i recommended him to buy the right one. ;D //Staigen

Hi all of you ;D Millions? Audioguru, how old are you? I thought you where 60! If you made 1 project a day, you should be somewhere between 2500 and 3000 years old! ??? :) :D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D You didn't told us about all the components you really fry! ;D You make mistakes, and I do it! And the experts make the biggest ones, take the Hubble project as an example, it was a very costly mistake! Murphy is always, and i say always, with us! He's sitting there on our shoulder, ready to jump down on our projects! ;D ;D It's called so because you have only one grounding point, where all ground connections are connected to. Hey Um...Me123, do you want me to help you with your project, and maybee your progress in electronics? In a moore palpable(maybe the wrong word, it's from my swedish-english dictionary) way! //Staigen

Hi all of you Im not sure, i thougt it was parallel data I/O from/to the usb contoller, have you checked for a usb controller IC? The connection between the usb controller IC and the dongle is clock and data(its serial). Also there is ground and +5 Volt. The databus between the usb controller and the microcontroller i belive is 8 bits + some control bits. To Audioguru I thought it was some island somewhere in the pacific ocean ;D ;D //Staigen

Hi It's a USB Dongle, and yes, it is plug and play, but only at the computer side, i belive. Isn't there a USB controller, intended for work together with a microcontroller, it will take care of all the interfacing to the Dongle! And the Dongle is cheap! Only about 30 US$ here in sweden, such things are usally cheaper in England and USA! Btw, where do you live? Jamaica? I know where Jamaica is, but you wrote "jamica..." ! ;D ;D A pic of what i mean is here under(Observe, the price is swedish currency) //Staigen

Hi A little warning here! If you connect the common ground to the AC Neutral you can get a ground loop, and if you dont do that, you dont measure the true AC line! Also, if you accidently connect the oscilloscopes common ground to the AC live terminal you get a short! This will probably lead to destruction of the oscilloscope! To avoid this, use an insulation transformer between the mains and the input to the oscilloscope. And, for safety of the scopes input stage, use a high voltage probe, some scopes can not handle the peaks on the mains! //Staigen

Oops, the range was only 100 meters! Sorry! But that maybee is enough? //Staigen

Hi there zgeniez Correct, but i dont think it is same as mylar! Wait for Audiogurus project, to find out how he have done it! //Staigen

Hi How long is 50 feet, measured in US Miles? A mile is about 1609 meters, and i have a soution for you, if you are intrested, the range is about 300 meters, about 1/5 of a US Mile(somewhat shorter). It is cheap and nothing to build at the terminal, just plug it in and go. And dont you know about ISO? BTW! Welcome back from your vacation in jamica :) :D ;D! Where in the world is that ??? ? //Staigen

Hi Good :) :D ;D! //Staigen

Hi there zgeniez, velcome to this board Any lowleakage , nonpolarized cap will work here! ;D The voltage rating should be at least the supply voltage for safety! ;D ;D Higher voltage usally means lower leakage(at low voltage)(not always) //Staigen
