    how can i program remote control

    Is this something you already have installed, or is this something you intend to buy new? It would help if you have an already installed system, to tell us what the manufacturer and model number is, so that we have a better idea of what you need to do. What you are looking for, is a controller...

    A device that creates the effect of slow motion.

    This is probably not going to help with the project you're trying to do, but your description brought back memories of my kids using a flashing strobe light in darkness. The little box that was available from a lot of places (like Spencer's) was about $15. It was just a high voltage circuit...

    Connector type

    I haven't seen that connector before. It may very well be a proprietary one made for your specific equipment. Any possibility of going to the manufacturer to see if you can buy one from them?

    [Update] Need help with a CRT TV

    Not much to go on, but I would be checking for problems with the power supply. The CRT televisions have a degaussing coil around the outside of the front of the picture tube. When you turn the TV on, and when you turn it off, the degaussing coil fires a millisecond pulse to demagnetize the...

    On off for headphone line

    I'll speculate, and ask questions. IS your TV a stereo audio output model? If so, your three wires are what you suspect: one left, and one right channel, and the third wire is the 'common' or return wire for the two channels. I'm THINKING you mean that you want to listen to the headphones late...

    Thourough and systematic information about safety in dealing with measurement equipment

    I just looked around my workbench. All of my hand-tools are 'ESD safe' also, something to consider when you outfit your space.

    Thourough and systematic information about safety in dealing with measurement equipment

    Good advice on personal safety. If you intend to build and test your own circuits, you'll want to look into ESD (electrostatic discharge) SAFETY, for your components. ESD mat to work on and wrist strap for personal grounding for static discharge. There are expensive ionization blowers and...

    Schematic-PID Control Kiln

    My initial thought is your PID Controller. You ran it up to your desired set-point once. PID's 'learn' and compensate for the circuit. I'd check the mfgr website and see if they have any tutorials on 'tuning'. Omega website has some pretty good tutorials if that helps.

    Repair of Dewalt dcb101 battery charger

    Dewalt likes to proprietize their information. (So you have to deal with only them for repair) Unless somebody has a bootleg copy, you won't find one.

    Relay circuit help

    Sure. It CAN be done. I don't believe the circuit would be complicated, the primary issue would be what signal you're using to trip the relays (And yeah, if you're only intending this for a few key individual keys on the keyboard it wouldn't take too many (one each). But if you want to do...

    How To Detect When A Line Goes Low

    Just a thought. Have you tried the J.C. Whitney website to see if they have direct LED replacements for you old bulbs? Can you post a diagram of what you built?

    Bose wave has no display.

    I'm pretty sure Bose compartments their information so that you go to them for service. Sounds like the display took the hit. Could be a broken display, or it could be that the connector to the display got displaced/misaligned. Anybody in your house have an electronics trouble-shooting...

    Inverter problems please help

    What's the make and model number, it'll help us find a schematic and maybe help you out.

    And don't forget to use the correct crimping tool INTENDED for those terminals.

    HOW TO ID-- A 12 VOLT ZENER DIODE --ONE WATT --

    The wattage is inherent in the little number on the diode. I've found that a cheap 4x loupe helps a lot when trying to read those numbers.

    Question About Old Television

    The 'anode' is the heavy red wire that is attached to the back of the picture tube. It does NOT come loose. DO NOT touch it or wipe it clean as there are about 20,000 volts stored in the picture tube itself even long after the power is removed from the chassis. Just blow the dust out of the set...

    Remote Stay Or Go Light

    Every loading site I've seen has a traffic light style indicator for the driver. I thought I saw someone respond to your question earlier with a reference to some specific model. (Maybe you posted this question more than once somewhere else?) I'd check with manufacturers (or vendors) who supply...

    Replacement of VIP membership tags

    Boo Hoo, (sniff, sniff). The Moderators (and maybe an Administrator) are VIP's, but only my kids think I'm one now. I HAVE noticed a lot of people who receive high VIP ratings based on responses of 'hello & welcome' to new members in the Introduction section. I believe they were shooting for...

    Church Sony300 cd Player Won't Come On

    Made by Buddists, maybe won't do Christian. If trying a Buddist CD won't work, It's probably going to need repair. Any of your congregation got an electronics repair experience?
