hehehehe. Now, that's excactly how i'd describe my relationship with those too ;)
Thanks a lot for bringing the PICAXEs to my attention.
It looks like they have all i need: A PWM out and a RTclock/LCD add on.
Seems, providing i stick with PWM, all i need to worry about is the powersupply...
For a dawn simulation i need to control all LEDs together, fortunately. I have been considering using current control, but i think PWM is easier to build. I'll only need one output, which will make wiring up the LEDs easier.
Are there advantages using current control instead of PWM?
I have...
Yes, i think i'll make series of six LEDs with a resistor on the tail, seems the easiest. A resistor for each diode seems to me to be a lot of work.
Now for a power-supply; i have been eyeing all those old computer power supplies i have. Stacking two of those would provide a nice stable 24V...
Hi all,
My sweet wife wants a "dawn simulator" the ligthsource is to be LEDs, 740 of them in all.......
I've tried to discourage her, but she seems to believe i can do magic with electronics since i built her an amplifier/mixer for her computer stack.
I have been pondering how to drive those...
Hi,
I had a somewhat similar problem where a click from a plastic coupling were to stop a test. The test machine was located in a production hall.
The solution was to rectify the signal from the microphone to get an "average noise level" the rectified signal was "stored" in a capacitor with a...
