    Safety circuit PCB from a ride on mower

    My guess is Resqueline and sparx are probably right, the booster pack probably damaged your electronic circuit components. As a quick check though, I'd take a look at those pins on your connector to make sure they're making good contact, and as mentioned above, you may have damaged one of the...

    I just had a vision of the future of TV.

    Where have you guys been? Go to the Disneyland 3-D movie theatre. Somebody sneezes, you get a mist spray in the face. The screen shows an explosion, your chair shakes. Mice run off the screen, you feel air puffs on your feet. Your wear 3-D glasses, but the effects are great. If you go, don't...

    optocoupler ID

    When I worked industrial electronics, I often had to find whatever office in your company had the 'as built' literature from the contractor. Somebody, somewhere, has all the literature and schematics for all of the equipment installed during the job. I'd be looking for a schematic with the...

    Keeping it calm

    You might have thought you were being testy, but there might have been some logic in that *steve*. If this was a software supplier, they probably didn't know much about software, just the supply end of things. Sending them the photocopy of the media you were using may have just done the...

    ecu repair

    *steve*'s right, I replace with Omron when I can find them, but a lot of other relay manufacturers put out lists of their models that substitute for other manufacturer's relays. Try Googleing that relay for a cross reference or substitute.

    Help finding parts

    My experience in SMD parts is the vast majority are now made in China, and nobody wants to sell one or two because they're so inexpensive. Suppliers usually want you to buy in quantity. Any possibility of getting the parts directly from TENMA, or some repair shop that repairs TENMA gear?

    Combining a radar detector and smartphone with 1 set of headphones.

    I've heard of CB radios made for that purpose. So they're out there. A lot of truckers listen to entertainment, but want the CB to cut in when somebody calls. I'd check through CB chat or CB supply places to find something that will work. I'm sure we could design a circuit for the...

    Combining a radar detector and smartphone with 1 set of headphones.

    Many moons ago in the military, I used to have to monitor multiple communications receivers. We wired the headphones as 'split' headphones, one receiver to the left ear, the other receiver to the right ear. I don't know if the configuration was commonly known as 'split headphones', or not...

    Keeping it calm

    Oh, and then there was a time a field tech asked for a box of five fuses for an instrument he was having problems with. He came back an hour later asking for another couple boxes of fuses, because there was something wrong with the ones I had given him. He tried all five fuses, and every...

    Keeping it calm

    One of my best was years ago a lady couldn't get the old style floppy disc I sent her to work in her drive. So I sent her another one. She called to complain about how difficult it was to cut open the black square case the disc was in, so she could get the disc out to insert in her drive. I...

    What type of LED is this

    The 1970's/80's way was the 5V lamp with an optical encoder. So this is probably newer than that. My dumb question is, did you contact the manufacturer, or do you have or can you get a schematic/manual on this instrument, and maybe find the full part number for the device?

    Capacitors

    I'm with davenn, I wouldn't assume values from those numbers. Back then, the manufacturer may have just marked the capacitor with a manufacturer part number. A lot of times it's eaiser to make a judgement call when we can see what you're looking at. The physical construction of the...

    Difference between trim-pot and log pot

    Like *steve* said. I think whoever told you those two terms, MEANT a 'trim pot' to be one where the resistance across the travel of the wiper to be linear. As opposed to a 'taper' or logarithmic resistance used in volume control applications. They're both generically called trim-pots.

    Mystery part please help

    I'm with poor mystic, where did it come from? It looks more like some kind of sensor, than a connector.

    stereo pot

    Can you find the data sheet for the part number of the poteniometers? That should help you a lot. The part number should be marked on the pot. Google the part number, and you should be able to find the data sheet with the pin-outs. If you're asking something else, like wiring six...
