    How Hard to Use Floppy For Flasher?

    I notice many microcontroller projects actually use the serial, Parrallel, or USB for the Data transfer and Flashing Process... My question is: How much trouble would it be to have the PIC read its info from a standard Floppy drive? Therefore, you could copy your Programs to floppy disk and...

    Anything Reasonable other than Drilling?

    Thanks for the optional solutions, .. MP, the punches sound like a good idea, I just wonder if some company offers die sets that can actually punch out Pre-Formed holes, (8, 16, pin chip holes) and/or 3 and 2 Pin for Trans and Resistors.. That would be cool and very time saving.. Probably...

    Anything Reasonable other than Drilling?

    Once again audioguru, Thanks, In fact I have a small veroboard, just always thought it was only for particular type circuits that could use the layout it presents... Now I see otherwise...

    Anything Reasonable other than Drilling?

    Hello, I just wanted to know if there is any other method other than drilling, such as a Punch Tool, that is capable of putting the Pin Holes on a circuit board for hobbiest? And about how much would an actual Plot machine cost for putting the pin holes in circuit boards that you design on...

    First Project

    Hi, halo69_2003, seems you have some decent items to get started with, I would probably suggest doing a project that you can find useful for days to come... Not something you might create and find in the closet in a few weeks :) .. Personally, I like the LED Multimeter because I have a...

    What Chip Converts Decimal to Pulse ..?

    Hello audioguru, and thanks for the info... The question I would like to inject in this decimal to pulse quest would be: What is it that a standard touch-tone telephone use, when you set it to pulse instead of tone, When you select pulse out for a telephone, you can actually push a decimal...

    What Chip Converts Decimal to Pulse ..?

    Thanks kevin, I think I'm going to need a data sheet of a Multiplexer to fully understand the principle.. I am attempting to make a mechanical movement of a stepper motor that will correspond to movements via a digital keypad.. In other words, if I push key 5, I want the motor to step 5 times...

    What Chip Converts Decimal to Pulse ..?

    So when the Binary number is input to the Multiplexer, the Multiplexer will take that binary number and convert it as the relative pulse count at a certain pin in relation to the clock frequency that is applied to the Multiplexer? Are there any schematics that support such an operation that I...

    What Chip Converts Decimal to Pulse ..?

    Thanks suraj, but I was looking more for an IC number and type that would perform such a function... know of any?

    What Chip Converts Decimal to Pulse ..?

    Hello, I'm trying to find out what chip converts Decimal Numbers to generated Pulse Output...? In other words, If I have a keypad and press the number 5, and want to have 5 Pulses of output, what chips would perform this action? I guess I would prefer a square wave type Pulse.. But not...

    Big Datasheet Database!

    EXCELLENT SITE !! Just wish I could Save the All the Data ... You know some of these sites Disappear after a given time .. And I would hate to see this site go down ... Thanks Much. ;)

    Is It Possible To Make the DVM Portable?

    Yeah, I bought this thing from Radio Shack some years ago and unfortunately it's without the backlight.. I had a Green LED meter years ago, Loved It, only for my brother to make it dissappear! I just real prefer those LEDs over the LCDs but the ones I see now days tend to be quite expensive...

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    sorry it took so long for my reply here quantum, just got back... What I mean is, try to have your light source focused so that it isn't too wide a projection.. In other words, you could possibly get a lenz attached to a circular black cup housing and attach it to the top of your light...

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    quantum, this may sound a bit out of place and close to impossible, but I believe one option would be 'Reflection', The problem would be getting the set position for the reflection.. If you could manage to get a reflection to reflect back to the Photosensor, then you could use a narrow beam...

    Is It Possible To Make the DVM Portable?

    Thanks for the Replies.. Yeah, I was particularly speaking of the one within this forum. I guess I asked the question because I have a DVM that uses the LCD display and its terrible in low lighting, that is why this project is very interesting to me.. My LCD meter uses 6 AA bateries and it...

    Is It Possible To Make the DVM Portable?

    I ask this because it appears that it takes more than the average battery supply to power this project.. Is there a way to make it use less power for portability? Thanks In Advance..

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    I read across a few posts here and maybe I'm Missing Something, But ... Even If you were able to tamper with the photocell (On/Off), I believe you would have to keep a constant feed of transmission signal on it, or it would simply return to it's original state once your mechanism is withdrawn...
