    For fun - What is your degree?

    I have a masters degree in mechanical engineering, associates degree in electrical engineering and a bachelors degree in computer science (not computer engineering). I just got my A++ certs! I'm currently going to the University of Cincinnati (UC) for my masters in electrical engineering. They...

    Circuit simulation and PCB design software

    Well, I have linux and I could have sworn there was a binary package available. If not, I might compile a binary package. If I ever get the time!

    Problems with my 555 circuit

    I gathered... lol Ashkwil, might I ask what you need this circuit for? We might be able to suggest a duty cycle and frequency... I know it is for your RC but what part? Does it need to oscillate a certain way to control something inside, or is it a light to tell you the car is on? The voltage...

    Problems with my 555 circuit

    Uhh...? I never said anything about a supply voltage... umm... I'm not sure I have ever burnt out a 555! I've tried, sadly failed! I have known this for quite some time now... I didn't have to, I used a circuit that I built a while ago with a 50% duty cycle at about 1Hz... No, it was already at...

    Making PCBs with magazine's paper

    I finally did it! YAY! it turned out super crapy! I don't know what I did wrong... I think in part the photo paper I used sucked... My lines whern't thick enough either I don't think. I only made them 3px wide. I had questions... The paper stuck to the toner, was it the paper, did I iron to...

    Circuit simulation and PCB design software

    I have downloaded this program and from what I can tell is pretty good. It allows for multi layer PCBs and other functions. As soon a I figure out how to run the dang program ( lol ), I'll tell you how I like it. So far, I don't like it, I really can't figure out how to run it...

    Problems with my 555 circuit

    Wow, 95% duty cycle.... lol... BTW, it's 7.2Hz ;D And considering the duty cycle, the top LED should be on longer than 19 times.... Actually, I am surprised the bottom LED works at all.... I didn't know the 555 produced a negative signal when its output was low. I thought it was 0 volts...

    Where can I buy FeCl3?

    Is this the Ferric Chloride? They call it etchant, that's why I couldn't find it. Provided this is the Ferric Chloride?? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102868&cp=&origkw=etchant&kw=etchant&parentPage=search

    Christmas Pin

    Wouldn't those really small surface mount LEDs require much less voltage and amperage?

    Where can I buy FeCl3?

    I also checked home depot, Lowe's and False Value. Nothing there....

    Where can I buy FeCl3?

    Multiple posting? Did I post it twice or something? I didn't know, sorry. I live in north east U.S. I thought someone mention radio shack but they don't have it... I have no idea where to get it.

    What makes a good solder desolder station?

    I know my teacher has this solder desolder station by pace. The tips reach 800 degrees in about a minute! It is real nice! I want something like that but I think he said it was about $1000 USD!!

    Total newb to electronics - what's the best tutorial??

    I got this kit not to long ago but haven't gotten the chance to monkey with it lately. :'(  It has some nice basic to intermediate concepts in there. It is a robot kit, which you find interesting.... There is also a deluxe robot but it is a bit more pricey. Deluxe - $90...

    Is there a big difference between an FM transmitter and an FM receiver?

    How much? I know there are a lot of types and have many features but I would want something basic.... I don't know anything about radios....

    Is there a big difference between an FM transmitter and an FM receiver?

    Would old car radios have some sort of input jack in the back for the optional cessete tap?

    Is there a big difference between an FM transmitter and an FM receiver?

    Why would a cheap radio pick up a signal from miles away, granted it is a more powerful signal, but cant pick up the signal only a few feet away? Maybe I'll buy a new radio....
