    Mini laptop board to tv

    What ports does the laptop have? You will be better off with a playstation or xbox. Or if you have none of the above, a smart tv would be better. Martin

    [Q] Car stereo at home wiring.

    Pretty much like that. I doubt the stereo will draw more than 2 or 3 amps. So 5 amp diodes should be more than enough. Forget the 15 amps, that's the max the psu can supply. Just make sure the diodes are before your red circle joint. This also assumes no external amps are used. Although I know...

    Wires in a 3.5mm audio splitter

    I am in the process of doing just that! Buying does feel good, but making feels better!! I never listen to my brain...It lies to me far too often.:confused: My nephews want external speakers for their tablets and love flashing leds! Who don't? So I'm making active speakers with 386's and 3914...

    Arduino Yes, the Arduino is a micro. Are they chocolate chip? I could be tempted!! Martin

    Wires in a 3.5mm audio splitter

    Actually John, I just read that the GBA only has one speaker but is in fact stereo at the headphone out!. So putting a resistor on L and R and joining them at the mono amp input would solve finding out which is which... Also that amp has a tiny volume pot too. Put that half way just incase it's...

    I Need Some Help With a Level Indicator Project

    Being as we are talking "Big Boys Toys", I have a very low tech idea.....Cheap ish too... Should be repeatable too, as the motor mount can't move. Spend 10 minutes getting the auger bit dead level with a level... Put a small self levelling lazer level in the cab. Mark the cross levels on the...

    [Q] Car stereo at home wiring.

    The simple solution then is.....o_O psu yellow to radio ACC, psu yellow with diode to constant 12v. Router adapter positive with diode to constant 12v. Turn on psu, Turn off router adaptor and turn radio on!! To power down, turn radio off, turn router adaptor on and turn psu off!! Martin

    [Q] Car stereo at home wiring.

    My point was to keep the memory, not power the amp. The head unit can be turned off by the head units button! But constant power for memory is still there. So current used is minimal. Martin

    [Q] Car stereo at home wiring.

    AH well, if your psu has not got a constant 5v supply, then my idea wont work. It may be safer to get another psu that has a constant 5v. Martin

    Wires in a 3.5mm audio splitter

    Well I suppose that would depend on what the OP wants. If I wanted an audio splitter only, I would use TRS. Maybe he wants to use all 4 wires to keep mic working? Who knows! Who are we to even question why people do what they do?:p Martin
