    Headphone Plug

    As much as I know, headphone plugs have three output terminals. The out most terminal is the neagitive, and the inner most is the positive, I believe. What is the middle terminal?

    Gpg, had do you make that symbol, micro?

    What are multi-layering boards? How would you draw a schematic for a multilayer board, possibly ones with SMD's. Websites containg pictures are always helpful. Inquiring mind needs input.

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    Kain, you say that you have seen leds with 20000mCD. For what unit is that? I am already ahead of you. I am to recieve a laser pointer that gives off 650nm wavelenghts. I "won" it on 10/06, and is being shipped from Hong Kong. It should arrive within 10 days, which I will tell you of my result.

    Mystery object!

    A strand of metal wire populates some of the area on the pcb I have, and many others. It is plainly labeled "J" on the pcb. It has zero resistance, and I wonder if it just to carry current that can't get through the without short/parallel the circuit, just like a zero ohm resistor. Why is it...

    Generators

    If I am not mistakened, just put the first three bands together, multiply/ divide the number by the fourth band.

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    Excellent research! No I don't have a laser pointer. Would there be any other device that gives wavelengths in that freq.? Is the wavelength poportional to the power outage? If so, i could reduce the the wavelength by reducing the voltage supply, maybe.

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    A tv remote control gives off infared photons Is there such a thing that can magnify the infared photons? It is worth a try.

    Demagnitize reception of radios

    I figured out my radio problem, as I once told you at http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/fmtrans.htm I built the circuit, and it did not work. My first estimate is that the transistors that I used does no cover the range that I want for. 300 megahertz. By the way, for what reason are the...

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    Outstanding idea! GEE! Why didn't I think about that before? Maybe because I already dark blinds and dark curtains, HA! street light does a lot of horrible things, not counting shining into my bedroom at night (which I tried to fix with curtains and what not), but also I am a astronomy...

    Frequency generator to shut off street lights.

    Excellent point Peter G. I have thought about that. Your right that does sound somewhat foolish, Ha. However, just having the knowledge to shut the street light off would be cool enough. Knowledge is Power. Also, the street light does a lot of horrible things, not counting shining into my...

    Switch Transformer

    1. First off audioguru, how do you use the stubborn "quote" icon? 2. How did you come up with 60mA? Where is the resistance? Hmmm. 3. Who sayed that I neened 1/3 Watt of power? 4. I have no intention to build this project (although it would be useful) at this present time. I am just simply...

    Switch Transformer

    Audioguru, are you saying that the 9 volt battery will be drained much quickly? How 'bout if you put at least three 9 volt batteries parallel, having thrice as much current. I have a feeling that all this depends on the consumer prefrence. How 'bout switching the 9 volt battery with cigaret...

    Switch Transformer

    Would it be possible to switch a transformer that is made to transform down, and make 120 volts from 9 volts?

    Demagnitize reception of radios

    MP, I just found a schematic for a ultra simple radio transmitter, that is suppose to range from 88 to 108 megahertz. Awesome. http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/fmtrans.htm How does the capcitor determine the frequency, I know vaguely of this.
