  1. If PS2 Keyboard & Mouse are used then The device provides a clock & a data line (similar to I2C check http://www.networktechinc.com/ps2-prots.html.) So we have to switch only the data line. By buffering the clock line to both PC's we can insure that PC assumes a device is present on that port. But the problem dose not end's here. The switching must be done when the device is not transmitting anything to PC. So probably a microcontroller should be used to receive signals from kbd & mouse and route them to appropriate PC. That way one can impliment Hotkey for switching from one system to another. As far as video signal is concerned I would like to see a post from a person who has done video multiplexing. So all ye Electronics Video God's out there plz listen to the prayer of this child & shower us with video mux circuits ;D ;D ;D

  2. In the first moon mission they put up a mirror on Moon. It was used to measure the distance between Earth & Moon accuratly by bouncing a LASER back from that mirror. As the speed of light is tremendous (3*10^9m/s) you can not use LASER to measure small distances. Maybe you can measure above 500m. But I am not sure.

  3. You can use File->CAM Processor menu in board to generate all the data you need. If you have downloaded eagle manual pdf file then you can read a few pages from page 210 onwords to get an idea how it works. There are sample CAM Jobs in CAM directory inside eagle installation directory which you can view. I too don't know how to export eagle files in IDF format.
    I use the CAM Processor to generate PS files which i can convert to PDF for making films. This works gr8 with my film-maker too. ;D.
    A word of caution - The default silk generated by eagle is only 5mils you can run silk2.ulp to generate a wider silk screen if your boardmaker demands it.

  4. You need an ADC & a microcontroller if you want to put data through USB or serial port. However for parallel port you can get away by using ADC & some logic chips. The selection of ADC will depend upon the resolution you want you can use any 10bit or 12bit ADC with integrated mux for the inputs. You will also need an attenueator at the input to protect ADC.
    This is very similar to a Data Acquizition System take a look at http://www.geocities.com/hagtronics/pic_das/

  5. Now that you are mentioning the sparks, i have a story to tell ;). Some years ago in a magazine named Electronics For You (in India) i read an article. It was about making a solder gun from a normal wooden pencil. The recipe was like this. You will need a 12V/1A DC power supply (filtering is not required). Take a wooden pencil attach one terminal of the power supply to one end of the pencil (to the lead inside it). And attach other terminal of power supply to the solder metal. Now trim the other end of the pencil to suit your needs. When you connect that end to the solder metal, it melts. I tried it out it was working fine until i accidently burned one BC547 by touchin base wth one lead & collector with another ;D . I stopped using it at last when i fried some more parts ;D So if it sparks take care

  6. The effective voltage generated by a PWM is directly proportional to the Duty Cycle. The relation is -
    Ton * Vpeak
    Veff = ----------------------
    Ton + Toff

    The DC motor can be controlled by using this voltage. However this is not the case with stepper motor. If you need more torque, you should put more current into the motor (without burning it ;)).
