    AC Adapter model AA-091AD not working

    Did you check the output voltage with meter set to AC? It is an AC adapter. Martin

    Hi Kory, Interesting box!! I am very devious and can only see one purpose! It's probably way off, but hey!! It's a travelling man's sales case for a revolutionary product that saves customers money:D. Quite simple really.....Picture the scene....... Man knocks on door and tells customer he can...

    Xmas light string blinker for LEDs?

    Hi macsrwe, Are you sure your LED strings only have an AC plug? No box between string and plug? Have you got a web link to them? There are hundreds of LED controllers on Ebay! Martin

    Stupid question

    Yes, they do appear to be a different pitch? If that's the correct word! I used to solder leads to switches and pots with tinned ends for breadboard use. Now I have a separate pcb with several types of switches, pots and header pins. So whether DPDT, Tactiles, illuminated rockers etc.it's just...

    Parts to a good home

    Hi Jason, That is very kind of you. Thank you. I will do the same and share with Errol in SA.. I am a carpenter by trade, but have loved electronics since a kid! Without friends online and forums like this, I would still be wondering what happens when you connect 240v N&L together! I am learning...

    Exactly how evil are Capacitors?

    TBH, most circuits (today) have a bleed resistor. But if it doesn't, that's when you get zapped!! And they can KILL!!! Don't play with something you are unfamiliar with! Would you pet a Hyena? Expect to get bitten!! Martin

    I will email Martin in the morning and get an update. But companies send him £thousands of equipment. I will reply here tomorrow. BTW, Jason might want somebody around the corner to pick them up!! Or bin them!! Martin

    Power consumption of vibratory pump when pumping against closed valve

    Oh dear Uncle Chris, That's hilarious:eek: I didn't need my medical history posted! Perhaps my annual round robins to you will omit my medical conditions and just concentrate on yours!:p:D Marty

    LED power supply help

    Hi Ian, Do you have a single LED and 1K resistor? If you connect resistor to pin 3 on 555 and then LED to 0v, will show if 555 is working. Martin

    Hi Jason, I am not in your region per se', but am only down the (long) road in London.. I would pay for postage if it didn't cost more than the items. And if you were able to post? If not, there a couple of members closer to you! Nice of you to even think about offering them out..:) Martin

    lasers power supply problem

    I couldn't possibly argue with that. I don't know about non-labelled lasers. But I am sure the UK has a law for all pen-type, pointers etc to be 1mw. Modules are different of course. Used for machinery, cutting etc.. I watched a series of Fake Britain, and lasers were one of the subjects. I will...
