    newbie question

    Hi Andy, Would I be right in thinking 5 sets have 100 leds, so each light has 20 leds? And each light has it's own battery? Martin

    How to turn off a LED with 3.7v

    Hi Nick, I think you need to "think outside" the box with this!. Hmm, I wonder what would happen if you put the LED directly across the switch? What do you think Harold?:D Martin

    Microphone inside car.

    This is going to sound awfully controvertial, so no offence Andy! People try to help in their own way!, usually people respond with a solution that is un-tested. You responded with a typical "tried this, tried that!" And "it didn't work"! Then 'Gave Up'. What didn't work? How did you make the...

    How do I attach this kind of chip to a breadboard?

    That chip is a circuit board with components on! Not an IC. That circuit board also has header pins soldered either side, just straighten them and plug them into your bread board! Or am I missing something? Martin

    Capacitor test box

    Better to make your own now. All you are paying for is switches and capacitors. The expensive box comes free! Martin

    Strange PSU Problem

    Hi Danno, from my reading, the LM311 is operating as the voltage comparator. This is the chip. Martin

    Strange PSU Problem

    The datasheet does say that the current can be increased by several amps using pass transistors. You said you have changed the regulator, so why do you still suspect it? Martin

    Charger repair

    That was an example only that they do come up for sale. Most 10.8v chargers will work but read the specs on the charger first. Your batteries have the specs for charging. You will probably have to use jumper wires or design the third party charger around yours. Martin

    Small LCD Display

    Sorry, I don't understand. You want to press a button and the screen plays an animation? Where does the animation come from? Previously loaded from a computer to SD card? This screen will be pressed against your face? Are you trying to emulate a simulator eye piece (Huds) or something? Martin

    Keep an eye on Ebay. They are often very cheap. This example is they are still available. This particular one is expensive. Martin

    newbie question

    Hi Andy, Based on the advice given by two highly experienced engineers, I can deduce that there is an easy method or a complicated method! I like easy because I am not experienced. It would be very simple to pull the boards completely and wire all lights in series with an adapter indoors. Turn...
