    Antique Automotive Resistors

    x2 for that. The resistor referred to is an ignition ballast resistor for the coil, nothing to do with the kill switch. What does happen in these earlier models is, because they require a ground through the handlebar, either with a bad earth connection there or painted bars, the earth is no...

    Antique Automotive Resistors

    I do believe we have been down this road previously. May be time to investigate your problem further as it appears your conclusion about the resistor is incorrect.

    Electronic components - need suggestion

    Plenty of places to buy components online. As for manufacture, it could cost millions to produce a 5 cent part which is more than likely already available.

    Current meter

    If you require it to log activity it could end up anexpensive piece of equipment for an off-the -shelf item. If you or anyone you know are familiar with Arduino or similar, a logging ammeter could be set up for maybe $50.

    Hall effect switching info needed

    One I've built and used for many years. Hall effect has changed over the years as some are superseded but current one is Allegro A1120.

    Freeview in car tv

    If it is only a monitor then you will need a receiver also.

    I purchased a semi-automatic espresso maker that has a perplexing electrical issue.

    Engineers may not be conversant with supply authority regulations whereas a local electrician will be experienced in dealing with this type of thing on a daily basis.

    Issues with arduino power from cars accessory power fuse

    I doubt very much that you will be able to read noise on a multimeter.

    I purchased a semi-automatic espresso maker that has a perplexing electrical issue.

    Don't play with it, get a qualified electrician to sus it out. Should have an earth somewhere unless double insulated. Chances are it was imported from some European country without any checks and balances on the safety level of appliances. Leakage current is more than likely emanating from the...

    Issues with arduino power from cars accessory power fuse

    Turn signal will be full of noise, as will most of the car's power. Others have covered any fixes. In short, if you need to learn about noise filtering you could not have picked a better environment.

    LCD Display (Basic)

    Try Julian Ilett for some basics. This was from quite a long time back but still applies. As a side note, he has many interesting electronic videos on youtube.

    Touch activated torch - increase sensitivity

    I'd say the advantage would be in favour of the N channel because of availability. Fact still remains that with some white leds the voltage required is more than you have available let alone any switching element loss, hence "did you read the reply"? Do you have a problem with adding another...

    Touch activated torch - increase sensitivity

    Darlington is sensitive but, you are stretching it with the applied voltage as Audioguru says. Did you read his comments?
