Yes, I have had problems uploading with long cables. Never with the short blue cables. I see on Arduino forums others have problems unloading with longer cables also. One has to be aware some "USB" cables are for charging only; they lack the center two data contacts. You can look into the larger connector and see if there are 4 contacts or not.

I use the Arduino UNO everyday. It is well supported on the internet at various forums. It is somewhat dated but a good beginners microcomputer. You can download the Arduino IDE 2.0 (integrated development environment ) from arduino.cc The Arduino Cookbook in pdf format is available for download here: Arduino Cookbook If you get an UNO also get the short blue cable; long cables do not often work well.

By positive flank you mean on the rising edge of the pulse or the pulse top? What is the nature of the pulse train? Voltage and pulse rates. "Need a circuit that can trigger a relay when movement or stop is detected on a axle." How does that relate to the pulse from the timer being on only 0.5 secs? Does that mean that if the pulse train is off for more than 0.5 seconds (axes stopped turning) the timer drops out resetting the relay? A retriggerable timer would stay on while it is constantly being reset else if not reset after 0.5 secs its output would go low. . For TTL logics datablade books see ebay.com Or even better Forrest Mims's book "Engineer's Note Book !! - A Handbook of Integrated Circuits Applications" is available online in pdf from: IC Book Dated but still the best book ever on ICs. The book has an NE555 circuit for missing pulse detection; which maybe what you need.

Dfplayer with Arduino pushbutton and led fading
HarryA replied to abhishek gyani's topic in Projects Q/A
What does not work? The LED fade or the mp3 player? What do you wish the push button to do? A: Push the button once and the LED fades on and off until you push it again. B: The LED fades on and off while you hold the button down. Releasing it the fading LED stops. -
Dfplayer with Arduino pushbutton and led fading
HarryA replied to abhishek gyani's topic in Projects Q/A
I am not sure what you need but here is code that fades a LED up and down. It does not block your code by using Delay(), You can paste it into your Loop{} or call it as a function. You may wish to play with the int period value and the +/-5 value. Do note which i/o pins you can use with this PWM code. //use pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11 on the UNO const int ledPin = 3; //whichevery pin you choose Do not forget the resistor! int period = 10; //how fast to fade the LED:100 = 1/10 sec. etc unsigned long time_now = 0; //have not read the time yet int brightness = 0; //start with LED off boolean IncreaseBrightness = true; //start with increasing brightness void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600); //you may have this; used here for testing } void loop() { // non-blocking delay if(millis() > time_now + period) //get current time and compare { time_now = millis(); //for next time //fade LED up or down if(IncreaseBrightness) { analogWrite(ledPin, brightness +=5 ); if(brightness >= 255) IncreaseBrightness = false; //max ouput to LED = 255 } else //must be decreasing brightness { analogWrite(ledPin, brightness -=5 ); if(brightness <= 0 ) IncreaseBrightness = true; //min ouput to LED = 0 } } //some code...testing displays values..... Serial.print("brightness "); Serial.println(brightness); } -
Guitar feedback issue at high frequencies - please help
HarryA replied to Sam_sky's topic in Electronics chit chat
I prototyped a couple of passive notch filter circuits including the one Tony posted. But neither were very good; two broad. If I can find an inductor between 150 to 200 mh I will try a parallel resonant band stop filter. This site maybe helpful: 8 Ways Of Resolving The Electric Guitar Feedback Problem -
Guitar feedback issue at high frequencies - please help
HarryA replied to Sam_sky's topic in Electronics chit chat
What you need is a notch filter to remove only a narrow band of unwanted frequencies . There are pedal notch filters on the market but they are pricey. Search on "guitar notch filter pedal". Also see:: https://lambdageeks.com/notch-filter/#:~:text=A notch filter%2C also known as a frequency,while allowing other frequencies to pass through unaffected. About half way down the page he covers guitar pedals. If you wish to make one perhaps I could help you with it. -
It looks good to me. I would go with it. Are you building something interesting?

Perhaps you could convert the alternator output directly to dc without a transformer to 300vdc (or about) and use a 127-350 dc to 24 v dc dc/dc converter to get 24 volts. See: DC/DC converter 250V to 24V, 960W

I do not see the connections to relay's NC contacts for each LED. The red LED most get its current through the NC contacts of the Green LED's relay. And the green LED must get its current through the NC contacts of the red LED's relay. Thus when one relay is active the other LED can not receive current through the the now open NC contacts.

Hello, I am not very knowledgeable on wifi routers so I can not offer much help. This web site maybe helpful:Improve Your Wi-Fi Speed in 10 Simple Steps On my Frontier router if you type into the browser a certain number/code it brings up a rather sophisticated user interface which maybe helpful to you if you can find the code for your router.

allowing 0.1 volt or greater “filter” in 12v DC
HarryA replied to ElectroPete's topic in Electronic Projects Design/Ideas
Perhaps a voltage comparator? See: Comparator You could use the 12 volts to trigger a relay that supplies a voltage to the timer? The relay should require more than 10 volts to trigger the relay to avoid the rewind? It is not clear where the 0.0009 volt and 0.1 volt signal comes from. -
When a post is made the forum software often displays key technical words in the post description. This would suggest that one could use that software to detect post that are legitimate from others. Of course the the devil is in the details. Invision's Zendesk maybe open to support on something like this as it would also be to their benefit. When I had a forum (Simple Machine's software) I spent a lot of time mutilating the software to get what I wanted.

Practical Electronics for Inventors is a good book. Used copies are available. An online lab that is informative; you can download the pdf files from: Hunter College Lots of free info on Youtube.com
