    Making Custom-Length Xmas Lights from Existing Strand

    Typical AC light strand? LEDs are DC current driven devices. They are polarised. Possibly I misunderstand you? Either way, they probably have a power supply adapter? Rather than a simple mains plug?. You may call it a wall wart?. 24V wall wart seems to fit regulations of low voltage LED...

    Making Custom-Length Xmas Lights from Existing Strand

    Hi, it may be easier if you give the power supply/adapter specs too. Also, do the 4 wires come from the supply? Or three from supply and forth ending somewhere near the first LED?. Martin

    Muskoka SF310C-36 electric wallmount fireplace will not turn on.

    Hi, check F1 on the component side and D1-D4 on the track side. Martin

    DIY load for generator testing.

    Hi guys ‘n’ gals, I’ve been reading up on generator load banks. But they seem to be quite complicated and very expensive. I did read one that said “the load bank is a heating element with fan cooling”. That sounds to me like a simple ‘fan heater’. All our generators are only 5-8KVA and I was...

    Hahaha, I had to read that free times before my brain saw the error:):)

    Wanted: USB controlled feedback vibrator

    If a s@x toy is no good, what about an engraver?. Small engravers can be found for 5V. It is still a motor with a counter weight!. Martin

    Noise intensity sensor circuit

    Sounds like you need to pay more attention in class!. Explain what parts you understand and the sections you don’t.

    Wanted: USB controlled feedback vibrator

    Yes, use a s*x device and modify it ‘if ya want’. They come in remote control too:). However, a simple motor and a counter weight does the ‘vibrating’. So simple to make. What’s the purpose? Or the wife wants a dedicated foot tickler?.:) Martin

    Impact activated LEDs

    I have to agree. The mold making for a cylinder of a particular size is quite difficult. I’m sure there were many hours of sanding and polishing to get the rims and hardware to fit. Great inspiration using the old broken sticks!. I’m also sure that the wall thickness has dramatically changed...

    IC 8 pin (unable to identify)

    What makes you think that VU1 is faulty?. Have you checked the fan itself?. Better to describe the problem rather than leave us with tid bits. Martin

    Charger fuse on the output side burned

    The voltage rating is just the maximum. You can always go above the rating but never below, for obvious reasons. Martin

    Scrape? The original text will stay in place but google will use it. I have no problem with that. Martin

    My subwoofer is making a thundering noise, can anyone help?

    In your photo, the blue and red wires are ‘together’ under insulating tape. Are they tied, twisted or soldered together?. Martin

    Electro Voice SXA Powered PA Cabinet - Baffling Loud Hiss/Static

    I would be first checking with a magnifying glass for a bad solder joint/loose connection. I would probably just re-touch all solder joints on that board as it’s small. Martin
