    Shutter Mechanism

    Hi Pinball Doc, I remember the last one I owned, it was a Bally named “Tar pit” and I sold it in 1980! Very nice machine! ;D

    Cant rename folders

    Hi Jack, If you have the folder in the right hand side of the explorer window left-click on it once to high lighten it, wait just one second or so then left-click it one more time. This should put the cursor on the line to let you write a new name, hit enter when finished. This is only possible...

    Current Regulation w/ LM317T Need Filter.

    Hi, Maybe the circuit starts to oscillate when the HID put extra load on the 317. Can you post the circuit so we can see how it’s done?

    Preparing for the corporate world

    Hi jack, I think Logan covered it very well; “hands on” is vital and should be given priority! Don’t misunderstand this but theory is sometimes unnecessary knowledge! Books are good to have in the bookshelf when you need to look something up, don’t try to learn them all by heart! Logan, you...

    RV Power Inverter/Converter

    Hi Rob, Yes I believe that’s good advice, today’s inverters have gone through a few technical generations in the past ten years. ;)

    relay question

    Hi Guys, Note that the maximum load will also be affected by the switching time (on) which increases with a lower coil voltage.

    RV Power Inverter/Converter

    Hi rhoweth, Welcome to our forum. I suppose you have already checked for internal fuses in case there are any? To be able to help you diagnose the inverter we need a schematic I’m afraid. Also it requires some measurements to be performed and some level of electronics skill. I don’t know if...

    Shutter Mechanism

    Hi MP, Oh yes, I’m old enough to have had my hands both on and inside a few of those! Lost of chattering relays, stepper-relays and solenoids inside them. Who could forget? ;D

    Uploading does not work correctly!

    Hi Guys! Uploading rules says 50000 kb maximum file size but above 6200 kb I get errors every time I try! Have to split the files despite the “new” higher limit of 50000 kb! Anyone else tried and failed here?

    My Computer Crashed Again

    Sorry, haven’t got a clue! I have also tried to contact him by mail but no luck yet! I searched for his phone number and got just over 1000 hits on his name so don’t know where to start! ???

    Step up 1.5v to 9v converter

    Hi indulis, I think you got a point there. Since Gus does not reveal the amount of current he needs at 9Volts I’m not really sure where we stand here? If only a few mA are needed it might be possible to use cap / diode step-up right after a MAX1674 chip!

    Step up 1.5v to 9v converter

    There are lots of switchers that will run from 0.7 Volts but with a 9 V output it’s harder to find! If it is possible to settle for 5.5 or 6.5 Volts the MAX 1674/76, 1700/1701, 1703, 1705/1706, 1708, 1760/1760H, 1763, 1947, and a few more would do the job. Even though some of these have a...

    Variable AC Dummy Load

    That was a bit fishy! ;D Am I missing something here?

    Step up 1.5v to 9v converter

    Hi Gus, Welcome to our forum. The TL499A should work here I believe.
