    Need help with a multiplexer

    Ye looks good, you think this can also be the case for the MUX I used?

    Need help with a multiplexer

    Also that one requires VDD, VEE and VCC. And with a battery powered I can't really provide negative voltage.

    Need help with a multiplexer

    TCRT 5000 sensors, they will output between 0 and 5 volts.

    Need help with a multiplexer

    Hey, I have a project and I want to use a multiplexer to periodically switch between 5 different inputs (analog) to be output one by one, the output will be fed to a microcontroller. The same microcontroller is used to signal which input should be output. NOTE: the voltages read by the mux will...

    Measuring Current via voltage measurement

    Hey I am doing a project using the TCRT5000 which is a phototranistor with an IR LED. I need to measure the current through the transistor. We get told to add a resistor and measure the voltage accross it using a voltmeter (and then I= V/R) instead of measuring current directly using a ammeter...

    Making a FM transmitter

    Just finished my first year at university and I wanted to try to learn something new but I think I went into a project that is too advanced for my knowledge, but I will try the approach of ripping things out.

    Making a FM transmitter

    Thank you for the feedback but even with the new circuit I struggle to see why some components are in place, From what I understand: (correct me if I'm wrong) Analogue signal from MIC1 which is then cleaned out by the decoupling capacitor C1, R2 and R6 is a potential divider to raise the...

    Making a FM transmitter

    Hey, I've been trying to make a transmitter but I've been struggling to read circuits. So could someone please explain this circuit to me and then maybe tell me how they go about reading circuits. Thank you I know little parts of it but others I have no clue why components are there or what...

    Bi-directional Motor with speed control circuit

    I've managed to get it working perfectly with relays. I want to attempt the project using a H-channel, us there any advantage of using a H-channel over a relay configuration?

    Bi-directional Motor with speed control circuit

    Hello I'm trying to make a circuit to make a motor spin in both directions and so that I can alter its speed. >The blue rectangle is the part of the circuit for the bi-directional control. The blue rectangle circuit works prefect on its own >The green rectangle circuit is used to alter the...

    Determining LED values

    Thanks man really helpful sadly I don't think my multimeter has the forward voltage setting because it only cost me like £6

    Determining LED values

    I'm just curious if there is a way to get the LED threshold voltage, or the current rating from any other way than checking the manufacture's datasheet.

    RC Car

    If anyone has an idea of how I could make an Radio controlled car I'd really appreciate it. I can't find any good guides & I tried doing it myself coding it with arduino UNO but it didn't work as intended. So maybe: Block diagram Things I need General Idea of how the code will look. ( Mine...
