    what do you call it?

    the box itself will also be part of the circuit too. i found a place close so will try them. it was called "plastic molding manufacturer" tried everything til i got it lol

    cree leds

    the device will be a lamp or in house light running from 12volt solar charged battery. it will run for 4-6 hours at night and when my kids do their make-up. the reason for using the ultra brights is A) they last for thousands of hours(so they say) B) being ultra bright i can put an inline...

    cree leds

    the problem i have is i know flashing leds for example you don't need a resistor, is the ultra bright cree lights (or one of the many other ultra bright leds) made for direct battery hookup or is it made like the rest and you need a resistor? i was hoping someone had used these leds...

    what do you call it?

    got a project happening and am trying to find somewhere to either learn how to make cases for the project or get someone to make it for me. i tried plastic manufacruer and plastic moulding, is there another option i could try. not going to fibreglass and thats all i seem to find

    i think its a latching circuit

    steve or any other mod. i think i have passed the circuit help section of this project but would love to keep discussing it, is there anyway to move it to the projects part of the forums?

    i think its a latching circuit

    the switch is going to be mounted down a 50mm pipe. so am hoping that works vertically too lol. i was looking at my design and thought about the simplest protoype. rather than a copper cone i might find some wire, bout 8 strands make them into a cone shape at 45degrees apart.. this may be the...

    cree leds

    ok simplest question in the world. its a led so do you need to connect a resistor so as not to cook it? they come with power supplies for 1 watt and up but was just trying to figure this out

    so this is me

    ever heard the term newbie? well those people are above me. I know the bare bones basics of electronics, and am trying to extend that knowledgebase while at the same time have some fun. sometimes i look at schematics and i know how to wire them but sit and marvel cos i have no idea what so ever...

    A wiring question

    i saw this post and thought of an alternative maybe. why not solder a small pcb with 2 female connectors on it... then you just have to find another ribbon cable that matches the length you require. being male to male of course this would inve some soldering however and i am not that good at...

    i think its a latching circuit

    http://img534.imageshack.us/i/switchc.jpg/ i think this is my design for the switch. 1 will be a copper (or other conductive material)cone piece. 2 will be tension springs, i might remake the design later to have the adjustable strengths. 3 is a bolt bar, threaded. 4 will be 2 nuts with a...

    i think its a latching circuit

    my ideal one will be small adjustable and cheap..... so far this item is costing me $30au and i am hoping to keep it under $50au including the housing... but i guess thats just a dream lol

    i think its a latching circuit

    i had a look at the vibration switches. i wonder if there are any that are adjustable.... to everyone that helped me so far thank you so very much

    i think its a latching circuit

    i just want this circuit to lock and make noise and light when sw2 is pressed. then to "reset" it you open switch 1.

    i think its a latching circuit

    am trying to think of what else will do it. your pics look good too. any idea why it won't work? am looking at it and thinking it will work... going to modify it soon. wanna keep it simple as this is my first time at making a circuit.

    i think its a latching circuit

    am hoping to make a circuit that latches. simple design using a peizzo, led and relay. when a switch is activated even if momentarily the circuit closes and stays closed lighting the led and sounding the peizzo. then i want a second switch to unlatch the circuit and reset it. i have a basic...

    absolute noob trying to start

    ok awesome just a few things. is that 1000 for the complete solar panel setup or 1k per bettery charging solar? and as you have 3 that would be 3000. both expensive however i could justify 1k not 3k lol. and yes australia brisbane to be precise however I have heard that jaycar has an...
