Hi there Tom Is it XP compatible? ??? No link? :( //Staigen

Hi mark8denny, velcome to this board The resistor is probably a 600 ohms, 1 % tolerance resistor! 1:st ring(stripe) = blue(6) 2:nd ring = black(0) 3:rd ring = black(0) 4:th ring = black(0) this is the multiplier or the amount of zeros after the 3 first rings 5:th ring = brown(1) this is the tolerance There is also some other ways of marking resistors, look in our Articles section, theres a nice little "book" about resistors marking, the link is here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/index.html A dirct link to the "book" is here: http://www1.electusdistribution.com.au/images_uploaded/rescode.pdf Also look in our download section, theres a nice little resistor calculator! A link to the download section is here: http://www.electronics-lab.com/downloads/index.html //Staigen

Hi ESR = Eequivalent Series Resistance Look it up on internet! //Staigen

Hi there again :)

Hi Audioguru, we often think the same, i also saw this and reacted at first, and have to look at the datasheet for the ic, saw that it can work at its negative rail and realized that it must be so ;D //Staigen

Hi Oops, i found it, it was on this site too! Sorry //Staigen

Hi Yeah, i see that, i suggest that you buy the right trimmer for it. Where did you get this schematic, its very similar to a project on this site? And what is the purpose of it? //Staigen

Hi there ateso8634, welcome to this forum They mean a trimpot, it is an adjustable potentiometer, usally adjusted with a screwdriver. It usally have 3 connections, but i have seen trimpots with 2 connectors and also(for special purposes) with 4 connectors. So, it is an adjustable resistor //Staigen

Hi Printed board? //Staigen

Hi Dont worry yet! Connect it the right way and test, with the tranny connected to 12.5 Volts! BTW! Is it a TO220? //Staigen

Hi Ok, have you checked the datasheet for LM117/217/317 that is right here on this site? //Staigen

Hi there Um...Me123 Check my last post and come with answers, and connect it only at the 12,5 voltage at the moment! //Staigen

Hi Um...Me123 Was it lower then 1 Volt on the output? Did you connect the right terminals? Did you use some protection diodes? Wich package did you use(TO3,TO220 etc)? Probably not, the voltage should not go down below 1 volt then, maybee it is now. //Staigen

Hi This is a facility already built into a true RS232 serial interface, if i recall things right! Check the RS232 standard, i'm not sure! If you had asked me 20-25 years ago i could have given you a straight answer. 20 mA loop is a very old standard, seldom used anymoore, where to heck do you use that today? It must be a very old printer! As i recall it, its just to plug the connectors right in. *Observe*

Hi So you have already made the feeding hardware, good! :) But, microcontrollers, i don't know much about them! :( Stepper motors? I only know a little about them! ??? Tell me about the feeder hardware! Any pics? //Staigen

Oops, was only 24 lines, maybee you can enhance it! //Staigen

Hi I belive http://www.techlib.com have one on their site, controling up to 32 outputs(relays)! //Staigen

Hi there again Jack Wich circuit, i haven't seen anyone yet? What is "thie auto fish feeder"(from the first post)? I thought it was a typo(thie). I proposed you to do your own design! I can help you with that, point you in the right direction and so on. :) //Staigen

Hi Autir, the link was suddenly not dead, i ended up at their site, and as ECET0purdue said, i went on to the Vehicle Terminals, and look at it, and downloaded the pdf file, describing this terminal, it's not only a tochscreen, it is a complete computer, it runs Windows CE 5.0 or Windows XP Embedded, have a 800 X 480 pixel colour widescreen and much much moore! ECET0purdue, where to heck did you got one for free, i also want one or two? ;D ;D But, why program it with Borland Builder C++, it has it's own programming software(Qlarity) built in, why not use that instead? Quick data(quote from the pdf file):

Hi Jack I did a simple search and it turned up 375,000 hits, i'm sure some of them included circuits, i didn't check! Why dont you design your own circuit, it would not be that hard? A microcontroller here, i belive, is not the way to go, it will make things moore expensive. Instead use a timer or two. On the other hand, a microcontroller would be moore versatile! //Staigen

Hi Um...Me123 I wouldn't have done it this way, i would have connected the leds via a cap and a resistor in series and a diode connected backwards over the led and the whole thing connected directly to the mains outputs! A picture should have explained things, but i have difficulties making one at the moment, it take long time for me just now. Maybee later, if you can wait a few days. //Staigen

yepp, if they can be instantly syncronised in some way //Staigen

Our site's(Electronics-Lab.com) server is suddenly not under a sea of muck, it's up and working wery good, but it is that hub there, down in New Orleans that is. They usally try to reroute the way the packets take, when a server, hub or router goes down, and sometimes it can take a while, it is a lot of work to do that, i suppose, when it happens. Hopefully you can get here soon, fast. ;D //Staigen

Hi there Audioguru, has your problems been solved by now? //Staigen

Oh, thats the way it is spelled, metallized //Staigen
