    Can't end thread with "Warmest Regards" - i's treated as spam..

    I don't think I did. Perhaps you don't have many messages and the software is looking for spam? Anyway, thanks in advance is usually sufficient. Regards. Martin

    Filter Capacitor blown when fuse connected

    That would be a BIG wrong. How did you check the capacitor? Blown up? open? shorted? Martin

    Power drop

    set + - ok are for the onboard timer I think. Are you connecting power to the track? As previously asked, show how it's all connected. Not pictures, a drawing. Unless the picture clearly shows all connections and where they go. Martin

    And now something weird

    "he had trimmed the branches lower down the tree to make space for the neighbours’ car." That was nice of him to let his neighbour park his car outside his own house! One woman who wished to remain anonymous said: “When I saw it, I just thought: ‘Oh my God, what a shame.’ Another neighbour who...

    Pioneer sx-850 issue

    Maybe, but you made a great fuse tester. I would check the bridge diodes and any voltage regulators first. The original incandescent bulbs might have a dedicated tap from the transformer. Martin

    Breadboard Question

    A continuity test will check which rails are which. This is a good guide from RS. Looks like it's 4 breadboards clipped together and the top two are the side power rails used by themselves. The coloured posts are +V, 0V, -V and Gnd. Or whatever you want them to be..Some have a yellow too. Martin

A variety of speakers are available from bookshelf, free standing, ceiling mounted, active etc. If you want audiophile nonsense, get a large bank loan. Many factors are involved in speaker choice. Room size, acoustics, amplifier and of...

    Requesting Ideas for my Next Venture

    I suggest you make more guitar fx first. Use the design that already works and change the op-amps, caps and resistors to obtain different fuzz etc. Nail this down and understand how it works first. Make notes for changes. Add power LED and a fx bypass. Add a 9V power jack and battery...

    Geting Grounded

    Yes. one or the other or both. You can then have a positive rail and a negative rail. Martin

    Geting Grounded

    Yes, solder a busbar (power rail) from A to Z or 1 to 10. I couldn't find a decent enough image to upload. You are basically having a long power rail, you can put another through the middle if you want. It's all in the planning and layout. Think how a breadboard is constructed. Martin

    How to organize workspace of employees with monitoring system?

    We don't monitor our employees, we trust them. Martin

    Geting Grounded

    Yeah, a picture of what you are using would be helpful. If your boards are just unconnected holes, you can solder bare wire all around like a busbar if you want as a ground. Or have top and bottom power rail busbars. Look up 'pcb track soldering' or similar search term. Martin
