    Motorcycle Kill Switch Failure Talk

    I was thinking this problem over...I have a 1981 XS1100 cruiser that I had no resistor pack for when I got it. I fixed it all up and it all works. I had to buy an expensive regulator and found one new just by chance.... wow what a find I got it running, and it all worked except the kill switch...

    Antique Automotive Resistors

    I need to be assured of your intellect before I continue to post here.... I also need a resistor pack for my 1981 XS1100 Yamaha. I have read that if you seen one resistor pack you seen them all, but these motorcycle packs are sealed in a case that is near on impervious.. I don't have one or I...

    Woo-Woo Charging...food for thought

    I need some coaching on battery charging, and I think we all could use a primer on the different types. I want to charge a 3v lithium battery Br(what ever this means)2/3A it is a panasonic matsushita electric... it says on the battery... do not recharge.. which means in modern terms... "We...

    Chip Sheet Data

    in electronics there is so much BS...(probably why you put up with me) but besides that point, I found a chip that is a 7414, and I assumed it was one of the infamous 74 chips, but after I got the datasheet, it was a pack of schmidt triggers. The chip fires has 6 nand gates and is called a hex...

    circuit to show how much treble or bass

    This is my idea for a guitar tone control... but I would have alot better control with an eprom set to fire 65000 different capacitances.... so I want to build a digital version with more lights!

    eprom studys...

    I always thought that a prom had individual inputs that triggered specific outputs a bit at a time. I have connected a EPROM to my arduino to see how it works, and it appears that it is programmed for 1 byte only, and then is fired by enabling and disabling the outputs. so I decide if my...

    Power Supply Transformer Markings

    I scrapped a powersupply and one of the transformers in it has 4 pins. assuming it is a buck converter(probably wrong) I examined it very closely... the red dot on top signifies the output side, I think? and the other end has 2 letters on each side of the coil(maybe mould stamps what ever) S and...

    iPad power supply

    I found warts for these, online that deliver 12w for the iPad. I did some math where 1 amp is there and 12 watts are there and there is 12 resistance there. w / i = v v squared / 1 i = r 144/12=12r 12w/1i=12e is the 12r arbitrary? no I think not! so 144/12=12w (1*1)12=12w 12x1=12w so...

    90's vintage cartridges

    I happened to aquire one(1) of these obsolete cartridges for my music synthesizer... But it takes a special kind of one of these cartridges called a Stor-Cart32 to store what are called pitch tables-(for you musical geniuses werkmeister and pythagorean) It has a doublesided 15 pins on one side...

    db25 to usb

    I have an old music studio that used a skuzzy series(not printer port) zip drive connected to it to store the songs and data in. The deal is that the port is configured to make professional salable music CDs in stereo. There is alot of configurations that I have to go through to get ready to...

    NP's of a Schematic

    now I know you will wonder about me... On the schematic the diodes are created with a vertical bar >>> | <<< and aa solid arrow against one side.. ----->|------ the anode is the arrow --->| and the cathode is the bar... Is this correct? If so the little white line on the diode signifies the...

    5 decade old battery pack bridge

    Well my dad dug out his channel 9 walkies yesturday, and one of them wouldn't charge up. They are the old style battery pack that plugs into the 110v house socket and stays there for 16hrs then powers a big handheld emergency frequency two way radio. I got the repair manual all printed so I...

    breakers and power

    This is kind of off topic. what would cause a good 110v power into a breaker box lose all its power when you throw one of the breakers? I got 120v at the main with the 30 amp main breaker on, but as soon as I throw the 15 amp breaker, all the other circuits go dead... Now after all this, I am...

    arduino speaking eeprom

    is there a circuit diagram and program that can make my arduino communicate and reprogram the signal in the eeprom cartridge input of the ensonic SD1 cartridge storage? The reason I need this is because they don't make blank storcarts anymore, and the system cannot store pitch tables...

    Motorcycle Electrical System Resistor

    My 1981 xs1100 has a resistor pack in a metal case, that connects between the kill switch and the fuse box . The resistor is connected inline, like kind of in parallel on both sends to the kill switch . I wired a different resistor in, just like the wiring diagram shows, and the kill switch...

    antient PC device connector

    Does anyone know what kind of cable the internal ZIP 100 drives used? Can I use a straight floppy or does it take a special cable?

    need schematic for 110v to 220v built in wall wart

    I guess I could just build the adapter I have into the subwoofer case... that would remove the need for a built in one. heh heh!!
