    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    Oh those strips are on off, nothing fancy. I'll track down some moving ones.

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    Hahaha, I wouldn't see your car not being crashed for long in that configuration. So, here are some LED options, also do you have any idea of the voltage that's going to those LEDs? At the moment I'm assuming 12v Firstly, we can basically replicate what you have now with much brighter LEDs. I...

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    I like that idea. But for me I'd leave my blinker on for the butt massage.

    Ahh man, hope you're feeling better again soon.

    Legality of non-amateur band receivers

    That's very interesting kellys_eye. I suppose this is why we have lawyers as this stuff could get complicated in a hurry. However I do think there is one way they could tell you're listening:

    Legality of non-amateur band receivers

    Good to know. What about broadcasting? Am I right in saying you need a license to broadcast? Come to think of it in a sense I'm broadcasting at 2.4 ghz with my wifi? Haha I should find a book about all this, anyone know any good radio books?

    Legality of non-amateur band receivers

    I'm really only curious about this, I have no strange plans. Only plans to mess with RF stuff in the future. So I know it's illegal to broadcast without a license. But is it legal to listen to non-amateur radio bands? I ask because I went to some webSDR sites (if you don't know what those are...

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    Haha Australia, right hand drive. Is that a dash cover on top? That could be useful to cover some LEDs. It's pretty easy to get some stupid bright LED's. You could mount 4 (3v drop per LED 4 LEDs would drop 12 volts) right under your dash cover then wires could run down to a control box mounted...

    Spinning/rolls count device

    Yes that is more helpful, I like Analog Kid's idea. It doesn't require coding and is straightforward. But the arduino might be easier to set up electrically and there's the potential that you can do some basic data processing to get RPM and total turns. Just out of curiosity what's the project...

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    Hmmm furlong, i know it's a measurement. Based on the name along I say the length of a beaver pelt. I'm from Oregon and biased toward the beaver fur trade. Would the person who builds the body be a coach builder? Yeah a picture would help at this point. I was thinking mounting them elsewhere in...

    Spinning/rolls count device

    Yeah that is a good point, an optical system would be better. Tttsss are you wanting total turns or turns per unit time? Like RPM or something.

    Spinning/rolls count device

    Do you want to know how many times its rotated or do you want finer measures like half a turn quarter turn 1/30th of a roll? If you want one count per turn you could use a hall sensor and a magnet. You could set it up such that as the magnet passes the sensor it will pulse. This pulse can be...

    Load cell interference

    I was on the magic Google machine and I found out that this specific problem of load cell noise is a rather big issue. Some used caps between signal wires and so on. One study (white paper? Are such publications still called studies in engineering?) Managed to reduce the signal to noise ratio by...

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    Haha splash board, I like that. I think that moving LEDs, like a marquee board, would be overly complicated. I think a 12v LED module will be sufficiently attention getting as they're damn near blindingly bright. We could potentially include a dimmer of some variation so you can adjust the...

    Creating an digital PB board

    Another thought what if you got plastic numbers like a fast food joint sign. You could put a number of pegs on the board and a hole in the top of each number that way your friend could simply hang the numbers. There may also be mechanical 7 segment displays as I can see you're going for an...

    Creating an digital PB board

    Welcome to EP Do you know any code? A raspberry pi and an old PC monitor could work well here. Then you could cut out a board so that only the sections of the screen that display info are shown. Like those phone cases with cut outs for the time. Though I must say as a first project this will be...

    Newbie leds for blinker lights

    I really wanna know where dash came from now. Is it something you dash under? Or dash your head against? Also are the red blinking lights connected directly to the blinker lights? If so we can use that as a signal for a pair of transistors which will switch on some led strip lights. You could...

    Load cell interference

    I didn't try the cap so no worries. I'll try the choke, and the gain value isn't critical yet. It will be eventually as id like a 0-5 v range. I'm using 1k resistors for the whole circuit. And a trimmer in parallel with a 400 odd ohm resistor. What would the capacitor have done?

    Load cell interference

    No unused inputs, I'm tempted to get that tattooed on my arm. Maybe a dip 8 with lines extending out with ground symbols on the end, could look cool. I'll try putting a capacitor on the gain resistor. I'm also using one of those board mount trimmer pots, if that means anything. Should I use a...

    Load cell interference

    I built an instrumentation amplifier following this circuit exactly. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/semiconductors/chpt-8/the-instrumentation-amplifier/ I used a load cell out of a wii balance board. And one output I have two LEDs in series to monitor the output voltage of the whole...
