    Timelapse Electronics

    I doubt very much that software will blow boards.

    Panasonic AG-1980 VCR won't play a tape... it just ejects it

    I'd be looking for a belt either broken or slipping. The circuit has a rotation detector that will time out after a few seconds if it does not detect the pulse and eject.

    Help identifying locations Samsung pcb

    Chip id will help as Davenn says........ but the confusion with the markings is that there are 3 markings for the 2 large vias or test points ( not sure what they are, I assume the latter) perhaps vcc is the smaller above the "V". Then again that sort of conflicts with the M_ E_ to the direct...

    Timelapse Electronics

    Obviously not, as you are having problems and with the questions asked, the people here are trying to help so maybe answering their queries will eventually help you. As an added query, have you adjusted the stepper driver boards as recommended from the manufacturers.

    Lightweight Electronic Spark Ignition for 2 cylinder engine

    Lightweight as in physical or electronic terms??? :) Your request is rather broad requirement so I'll give you a rather broad answer. There are many types. Basic transistor assist for use with kettering coil system. Then the others.........CDI, TCI The latter get rather involved even for me at...

    Resetting my printer settings stored in a chip

    Very strange.......I googled HP3630 password and it came back with many results, some even marked"solved". BTW......most say it's not a printer password but rather the wireless comms section.

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    alternator is already 3 phase ac....allbeit at about 80v or so...the dc comes from an onboard array of diodes. Regulator finally dresses this down to the usual 15v dc approx.

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    Then there are things like blade balance and gyroscopic forces to contend with. As far as rotating the whole show for wind direction.......the old Southern Cross water pumps have done it for the last 100 years or so.... I'd say about half a dozen of these might get close to your 25Kwh/day

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    Brushless are more efficient but I still don't think it will be anywhere near enough for your needs and outlay. I really believe if you want to go down the wind power road then cost would not be the issue only outcome in the fact that one might believe they are saving the planet. Trouble is...

    Zener Diode - I feel terrible!

    Difficult to say but protection circuits usually drop their output completely until the fault condition disappears and the fault condition is usually external to the system sensor terminals.(inputs) If you have nothing connected there, the place to start may be in and around the said protection...

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    True...however most car alternators run at about 55% efficiency and need revs to work. Fine to say they produce a fair amount at just over idle, but one must remember they are driven at a much higher speed than the engine. I'd say about 3000rpm should get one somewhere near 3/4 output. A 3 ft...

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    25kw is the volts * amps. But only at max revs. If you run that for 1 hour you supposedly get 25 *1= 25kwh. However, this is dc which must then be converted to ac and probably at around 75-80% efficiency at best. Note that it has a 12 metre diameter blade and runs at 75rpm. Again quite a mother...

    Really Need Advice Making Micro Wind Farm

    First up, wind generation is iffy at best. If you were to strap one of those 747 size mills to your balcony, then perhaps. 25kwh per day is some serious power generation. Grid connection usually requires quite an amount of supply authority permission and even then, they may or may not allow it...

    Should I be able to use this battery with these LED's?

    Ebay has battery protection modules for a couple of dollars each As an example...... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hot-Sale-Protection-Board-BMS-for-3-Pack-Li-ion-18650-lithium-Battery-Cell-3S-/172160845434?hash=item281596067a:g:7nsAAOSwZQxW6RkL

    Zener Diode - I feel terrible!

    Never heard of a "safety mode" in a PLC....however, back to the DCIPLC, it has ( as all do) it's own timers, counters, etc, etc, included in the software so no need to make hardware, just the i/o interface. From memory it handles 24 of each with allowance for expansion. Some of the sites that...

    Zener Diode - I feel terrible!

    Usually there is some type of interface strictly usuable only on the plc type to connect firstly to a pc. Then there is the programming software which most manufacturers guard with their life or they make the interface so the software is unusable without the interface. Then there is usually (...
