    Members location

    I could go for a flag ID, or country ID if it becomes mandatory. I've referenced my location in posts before when a particular issue seems connected to symptoms seen, but because of my work, I'd paint an unwanted target on myself if I posted specifics in my profile. I don't concern myself with...

    A programmable melody generator

    That old Radio Shack melody synthesizer IC is Radio Shack part number 276-1782 The IC is a (GI) AY-3-1350, I assume the 'GI' is General Instrument. I don't know how many of them are still around if you need to look for an alternate, but I know there are a lot of people selling old Radio Shack...

    A programmable melody generator

    I've got a few of the old Radio Shack melody generator/synthesizer IC's. Last time I checked there were quite a few of that part number around (people selling old Radio Shack stock). I'll have to look them up, and probably post their part numbers here tomorrow when I find them. (Not your exact...

    Part Identification request

    Wow. Partzilla wants $750 for your ignitor. I can see why you want to repair it. Kawasaki electronics division changed their name to MegaChips in 2013. Just in case it helps you in your parts search. I'll keep looking, just thought I'd pass that on because you're trying to search for info...

    Part Identification request

    As you probably know from a Google search, they don't show-up anywhere. It might help if you tell us the motorcycle manufacturer, or if this igniter sytem is an after market add-on, who made it. Semiconductors from vehicle manufacturers typically have proprietary part numbers stamped on them so...

    datasheet of pressure transmitter

    When we run into questions like this, the first thing I do is recommend that you contact the manufacturer. They should be able to answer your specific questions via email with no problem.

    Monitoring a swimmer's arm movement

    I'm not familiar with the new tech stuff. You'd need a micro transmitter to count each switch closure, and a receiver to register the closures. Somebody else here is probably fluent in what you could do with the tally. Number of switch closures per lap, your one-minute count goal, probably...

    Free samples from semiconductor Mfgs

    Often times a big company will just fill sample requests willy-nilly, but as Arouse1973 noted, they might get wise to it if you do it too often. I've been fortunate enough to work for large companies most of the time. Anytime I request samples from any manufacturer, I get immediate fulfillment...

    Monitoring a swimmer's arm movement

    Alright. As you are probably aware, no swimmer is going to WANT to wear anything that produces drag. I know from my own experience that swimmers are very predictable in their personal swimming style. I only knew one guy who varied in this, but you may be seeing something different in the...

    monster high karaoke machine power cord ripped out.

    I'm in davenn's boat about not being able to determine what you've got from the pictures you took. It's POSSIBLE you've just got the +/- 12VDC 1.5A coming in from a wall adapter, and the big metal flap was a permanently attached strain relief from the power cord (that wasn't tough enough to do...

    Monitoring a swimmer's arm movement

    I don't have much to add, but I'm curious about the project. Are you trying to determine how many strokes are used per lap? Or what is the purpose of the monitor? This doesn't sound like it helps improve the swimmer's performance, so I was just wondering what the purpose of the test is for. I...

    Power supply circuitry not working

    I'd do what KrisBlueNZ said. If you've still got problems, I'd touch-up the solder contacts at the points in question, just to make sure they're all conducting. A lot of the wall adapter plug-in stuff I work on experiences two primary problems because of the constant plug-in, remove plug...

    so I am going to get real annoying

    Most effective method was the one the doctor used on my dad. Doc told him to look at his wife and kids, and realize that he was hurting them. Painful, but incredibly effective on my dad.

    Tektronix 2235 Oscilloscope Troubles

    I haven't been using my 2235 in years, since I got their new TDS3032B. (So I'm short on remembering which switches to flip fo quick checks). Have you got an operator manual for it, or can you check on-line for it? People here highly recommend websites with Tektronix forums for information that...

    remote sleep

    Have your tried contacting the manufacturer and asking them for options? I've used Omega, Wilkerson, Red Lion, and other manufacturers who make instrumentation amplifiers. There's a start for you anyway. I don't know where you're at or how important this reading is. Maybe you could consider a...

    How long has the motor been out of service before you got it. You don't have any seized bearings do you?

    Is your beam finder engaged? Are you familiar with this scope, or is this your first time working with it?

    Need Help on: Resistor Scan Project

    I'm wondering how much longer they'll be using color bands. With the improved marking systems any more, I'm seeing more and more values being printed on the resistors. Most of those using the European printed marking system.
