    SD card with pic microcontroller

    I'd imagine Arduino setup would be much simpler, cheaper and easier to obtain a host of proven "already written" code to store data on an sd card..

    CNC Hall Affect Limit Sensor Integration Board

    Hall effect switches are open collector so you will possibly need additional interface to suit your existing application, perhaps simplist would be a miniature relay for each hall effect. They will work from 4.5v so that should be no problem, although you will require a negative from the supply...

    Transformer ID Needed

    Maybe....but your measurement of the one you have there in your hands doesn't add up to being only 25va. Which is why we ask for as much information about the device as one can muster. Below is a link to a 25va transformer which you will quickly see, is no where near the physical dimensions of...

    Removing Components for Testing versus On Board Testing

    There is no shortcut to electronics.....as with many trades...........one must do the study and the "long haul" as the variables in applications are in the millions. I , for one, have over 65 years experience with a variety of electronics and in certain areas. Then you have others with expertice...

    Sony Discman D-33 won't spin

    Sounds like the unit is trying to read the disc but fails capture. Try a known good disc preferrably a bought item rather than a "burn yourself" version. Failure there could be as simple as a dirty lense on the pickup or it's dead. Latter not worth the bother to fix. Former will have details...

    Transformer ID Needed

    Doesn't give the va rating......... once again, instead of dribs and drabs of info, place everything you have or can get, here.

    Transformer ID Needed

    I doubt that very much given the physical size(and the expected cost) ....once again, show the details/circuit drawings and we can decide. Phrase that comes to mind, like trying to get blood out of a stone....what is the big secret here, provide the info.

    Transformer ID Needed

    I'd take a "wild guess" and say it is around 600va, perhaps more. In which case could be anywhere between 200 and500 bucks depending on where it comes from. You may have to settle for a toroid transformer as well. If it prooves to be higher va rating, price goes up in multiples , so does the...

    Triac Question

    Did a quick search and that particular tester (mine is slightly different, no encoder) can give you weird readings on triacs. Something to do with the available gate current. Mine works fine though. ....around 18:40 Mine is this one ......

    Stairs light Timer

    Looks dangerous to me....no fuses.....mains wiring to mains operated stair light....wow...!! Then there is all this so called control gear...tucked away in a wall cavity no doubt..? These days with so many low voltage LED alternatives........

    Transformer ID Needed

    mmm...open your gob and see what happens........:).....especially when you know nothing about it. Power transformers are getting harder to find these days, ..............even with the known parameters. Numbers are more likely oem manufacturer. Only positive contribution I could give is...it...

    Triac Question

    Are you sure you have it in the correct socket on the tester? Mine (different triac but) show as thyristors with the appropriate symbol and correct terminal markings. Found this image on the web......... mine comes up same as this

    electric kettle shorts

    Good to know your lack of knowledge level, lack of respect for those in the know and your gutter attitude for any future query. So for the benefit of others who may come along, it sounds very much like it was a safety switch (earth leakage) at the heart of the tripping. Caused obviously by the...
