    Need advice for controlling Sentilon 100A HV with Arduino

    I think you need to go back to the programming code and look again. The example you have here is 99% commented out (// ) and there is no basic structure to the program which requires setup and void loop to run. /* followed by */ is just a way of reminding the programmer what the code does, not...

    Help identifying antenna jack

    Called a male "PAL" connector. If you want to connect to RG59 coax, there is a screw type adaptor. If RG6 coax, use a crimp type male PAL adaptor.

    Need advice for controlling Sentilon 100A HV with Arduino

    What is powering the Arduino? Does the ESC need supply? What is the code used? I don't see any inputs to the Arduino. Beeping sounds like the normal "power-up" beep, no signal. Did you run the code through the serial monitor to see what is going on?

    motor controller for electric bike project

    One can. However to even begin, you will have to find what loading and what switching elements to use ( you will find mosfets preferred) Then using PWM you will need a driver for the mosfets. Then a circuit board of some description. Then Arduino of sufficient size, input sensors or switching...

    motor controller for electric bike project

    Certainly possible if you have the expertise to firstly design the controller, secondly the expertise to build a proto-type, thirdly the expertise to fault find and diagnose any problems one might find with the design. Then you will need to have the expertise to choose the right devices, design...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Resistors are arranged as a voltage divider. I think an Arduino would be an overkill.

    555 timer circuit help?

    Think you need to look a little closer at the operation of the 555 and what resistor and capacitor values values are recommended as minimum. Talking Electronics have a good free online book on 555's and many circuits available with circuit explanations. R1 looks like 20R to me but could be...

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Is there more to the circuit than you have shown because what is drawn and what you say is happening does not match.

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    If you need to simply operate the relays, remove the 100R resistors, feed power into the right hand side of the switches, remove the diodes(second one won't allow relay to work anyhow), and run each relay independantly from each switch. Output from the relays is voltage free and isolated from...

    More Range From 10 turn POT

    It's just that by my estimates, your 16V AC will become approx. 22V DC, drop a couple of volts across the regulator, say leaving approx. 20v. Regulator will start around 2V out, so 18v adjusted by a 10k pot so maybe 1.8V per turn so after 1 turn approx 4V out....see what I'm getting at? You said...

    More Range From 10 turn POT

    Just trying to find out as much info as I can here........ So you are running a 4.5v - 5.5v load from a 16v ac supply , rectified and then through a variable regulator that gives " all the power my circuit is capable of within 1 turn " Trying to determine what problem you have with that. Do...

    Attaching a terminal to battery

    Trying to solder onto the battery itself would be a bad idea.

    Newbie - Need some help w/ switching relays

    Automotive power windows can become a complex arrangement especially if one requires master control. As Arouse says, a circuit diagram of what you have or at least a flow chart or block diagram of what you hope to get.

    More Range From 10 turn POT

    If you read the spec sheet for the 338 it will show how the calculation for the adjustment come about. What about the load, any load connected or is the output floating?

    More Range From 10 turn POT

    Try a 5K or smaller pot. Is there any load connected?

    What programmer to use.

    How about this one ...... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USB-ISP-5V-USBasp-AVR-Programmer-ATMEGA8-ATMEGA128-Win7-64Bit-6PIN-Wire-Support-/181434655946?hash=item2a3e5924ca:g:-boAAOxyIPNTcZHM
