    Re: Dog Bark Remover

    You'll need something more like a DSP and some serious programming skills.

    PCB drill press design

    True, a high speed bit like a dremmel would be much better. I've not drilled my own PCBs in years.

    Driving an LCD backlight with FETs or transistors?

    I'll have to add 2N4401 to the junkdrawer. I've got plenty of 2N2222A. Can I use a 680 resistor to drive it.

    Driving an LCD backlight with FETs or transistors?

    Well as usual audioguru got me thinking about driving transistors to saturation. I've been using MOSFETs (sometimes incorrectly) and I have a problem that may or may not have a simple solution. I wanted to use a 2N7000 but it's only rated for 200ma continuous.  I'd like to switch as close to the...

    Ahh thank you, I'll use the 2N4401 Do you know the 2N equivalent of the BC548 & BC558?

    mosfet problem

    It's not a working design. try switching something not lethal first. The gate has no point of reference. Also RS is not a great source of HV electronics. Is the 500V AC or DC? You need isolation between your 10V and the 500V like an optoisolator. 500V can mess up your day, life etc...

    Should anyone not familiar with 500V electronics be playing with 500V?

    High Power LED Mood Lamp

    On MOSFETs like the IRF510 which had an on resistance of 0.54 ohm won't even get warm at 350ma. No gate resistor is required and the PICs outputs will drive em fine at 5V. They are expensive though, much more than a 2N2222A + 680ohm resistor.
