    help with IR2110 chips

    Opamps are for processing low-power signals, not for switching high current 55V supplies. Check out the datasheets of typical opamps.

    help with IR2110 chips

    I don't know the order, but if I would be inclined to ensure the Arduino was running first, so that the FETs are controlled correctly.

    They need to connect to the same ground.

    Is it even possible/practical to define a 1nS delay with an Arduino?

    how many watt resistor do i need for 2 volts 1 ohm

    But if you want the resistor to have a long and happy life you need to choose one with a Wattage rating well above 4w, e.g. a 10W rating.

    Help with force-detection in a motor for a linear actuation system

    Welcome to maker.pro! Can you give us an idea of the motor power and the magnitude of any obstructional resistance you are hoping to detect? The solution may be quite different for small-scale low power systems and massive heavy-duty ones.

    I need help with a circuit

    The post #1 set-up will draw about 30mA from the Arduino Data pin. Is that ok?

    NiCd to Li-ion battery pack conversion successful but has one strange issue

    Are these the fairies responsible for installing the magic smoke in components?:)

    NiCd to Li-ion battery pack conversion successful but has one strange issue

    Presumably because the charger was designed for NiCd cells?

    Please I need help

    Perhaps this will help re the ttp223 use?

    Need to find where i can get a ceramic cement resistor or equivalent please. The white 2W 3ohm 3K in photo

    I would interpret those markings as indicating 3.3 Ohm resistance.

    Children's electronic motorbike upgrade

    That would be best. But if the 100k pot does nothing then the added resistor might not work. Worth a try though.

    Children's electronic motorbike upgrade

    Unlikely. You could try connecting a resistor (e.g. something in the range 33k-100k) in series with the 10k pot (or instead of it) and see if that gives some speed reduction?

    Problems with my school project Automatic ON OFF lamp using LDR and MOSFET

    @aleckpellitier1 I think the guy's school project should have been completed months ago.

    Alternative to a bad tachometer filter?

    No. It means excessively high resistance (probably open circuit).

    Simple 555 Timer

    Your use of a 10k/10W dropper resistor would be a concern for me. It will dissipate nearly 6W and get HOT. It's a fire risk and not eco-friendly. It will cost more to run than the bulb. Perhaps a mains-rated 6W LED bulb could replace the whole circuit and be left on permanently?

    Well done.

    Trigger 12v relay with 3v source

    Are you sure there is actually 3V across that LED? It looks like a normal red LED, which would have about 2V across it (as Crutschow has recognised).

    Heat gun motor pcb ?

    They're in parallel. So the voltage dropper would be part of the heating element. I'd guess the set-up is as below (ignore the example component values) :- L1 and L2 are interference-suppressing chokes (those black-sleeved items in your pic). I haven't haven't shown the small caps connected to...
