    Converting Bluetooth headphone to hearing aid.

    I have a fantastic pair of wireless headphones.. Did you actually read the post? A tethered "mother" is not a nice image! ...Well, not in this particular case!:eek: http://www.healthyhearing.com/help/hearing-aids/bluetooth There is obviously a reason why the hearing aid goes into the ear.. So...

    Shot counter

    Does that work if more than one person is firing? Or did I stupidly assume "listen" was with an electret mic type. Martin

    Where to start? - beginner

    Blimey, I didn't mean a book!:) I would have said, "do you remember walking on carpet or escalators and you touch something metalic like a door knob or radiator? That small zap you get is "you" earthing the static electricity..Imagine that zap hitting a sensitive component!! But then again, I am...

    But you know they are experienced!:p I think you ought to explain ESD to a beginner for that ADAM! Martin

    Where to start? - beginner

    Hello, I am too, more hands on and a visual learner:) Books and reading give me a headache! I suppose soldering does take a little practice, but so does everything.. Rather than make a cube, it might be better to find some broken electronic item and just de-solder the components, then re-solder...

    Components for this amplifier

    Hi Trevor, So I was completely wrong about it then!! I'll have a read up on zobel network. I just remember something about the impedance goes high at the speaker and the capacitor lowers the impedance. And the resistor stops a short.. Thanks for the info.. Martin

    Components for this amplifier

    Oh and BTW E//R has still not arrived..Don't know what's going on there!!

    Components for this amplifier

    Hi Errol, Glad you got it working.. I have built a very similar amp with small alterations. Let us know what the "noise" is like or not! My was pretty noisey at first. The 2nd resistor is 10Ω or 11Ω in my case. It just stops the 386 from thinking there is a short when the cap goes low impedance...

    Can anyone tell me about it

    Dewalt inductors look great! I like them:) Martin

    Corning PC-620 120V 1113W Repair

    Hi Toast, That comment of yours says there were other underlying faults already repaired? Do you have a multimeter? Martin

    Negative static field detector

    Yes, that is what I am saying. And your English is perfect! Did you watch the video? That simple circuit does what you want! Martin

    Negative static field detector

    Hi Koen, I see the problem with your circuit. And so do the Ghosts!. All the Ghosts I know like current limiting resistors for LEDs. Also the transistor was packed in Anti-Static!!:cool: What you need to build is one of these.. Martin

    Hi Mike, The resource section would be a good read. I do have to strongly disagree with you about Youtube videos only going as far as the 555 though. It totally depends on what you want to learn about! What have you got in mind to learn about? Martin
