    Audio level with potentiometer

    @rahulb you need to learn that replying in your threads is an available option. I'm going to close this thread. You should stick to your original thread where there is enough information to actually answer the question. see here.

    Whatever happened to this product?

    more!

    Whatever happened to this product?

    What? You mean I shouldn't design all my circuits using Bourns 10 turn pots in place of every resistor? And before you ask, yes I use the screwdriver tip of my soldering iron to adjust them, just like the device pictured!

    Bicycle generator

    Or if you take too big a breath of it you could turn into a Zeppelin and float off the planet. [/Audioguru] :-)

    Can I use resistor instead of pot with LM386?

    Hahahaha well spotted.

    Can I use resistor instead of pot with LM386?

    Ok, it attenuates the signal appropriately before applying a fixed gain so that the overall gain of the circuit is as desired.

    I would replace the pot with a trimpot. That way you can set the appropriate gain and leave it alone.

    Wiring 5v to a 12v powersupply

    Maybe they don't like Mike Pence? Oops, Illinois not Indiana.

    Wiring 5v to a 12v powersupply

    maybe, but for the cost, I'd get one for each.

    Wiring 5v to a 12v powersupply

    Can you explain what you're trying to achieve? Connecting two different power supplies of different voltages together in parallel is... odd. Or are you wanting to connect a 5V device to a 12V power supply? If that's the case, the "something that can be used to wire it to the psu" is called a...

    Connect 12V LEDs to 2 12V car deep cycle batteries

    There are a couple of battery technologies that will quite happily tolerate a complete discharge, however the most common ones in use these days definitely do not. I don't know what your scooter uses, but if it has a "fuel gauge" for the battery then the battery may be lithium. They definitely...

    What do you call something...

    There are many different types of material used. Added to that, some are incorrectly labelled on sites like eBay and Ali express.

    Gcse project NEED HELP

    My understanding is that a GSCE is taken over 2 years by students aged 14 to 16. I also understand that they are currently in the first half of their school year. It is entirely possible that this person who is probably need well and truly scared off is 14 or 15 years of age and has just...

    It seems the are only 4 people who have posted on this thread so far. Let's Play a game. Can you spot the poster who: Could have their posts removed with no loss of information to the person who posted the question? Has spent their effort almost totally in disparaging the op and their...

    Outlet got wet

    Well, I can't stop you. But as you've said, you may not get a second chance. And I'm pretty sure you were joking.

    Anyone know what type of resistor this is?

    "Jumping the gun" may not be quite the right sentiment, but we do seem to be getting a few of these questions at the moment where the colours are not immediately obvious.

    Outlet got wet

    It's probably best to get a sparkie to take a look at it. They would probably undo the outlet from the wall and make sure things are dry and not charred or corroded. If everything looks ok they might double check the writing is correct, then put it back. If there's any question, they would...
