    Switching a 240v supply safely .. need advice/help?

    Thanks for your replies.  This project got put on hold for a little while but I'm back onto it. I had a look at the USB plugs.  They look quite interesting but not quite suited to my needs.  I'll post exact specs and more information about what I'm doing later tonight. I've got some ATMega8515...

    Switching a 240v supply safely .. need advice/help?

    Hi everyone, I fancy messing around with some microcontroller stuff and I've always fancied being able to build a system where I can switch plug sockets on/off.  I was thinking of using an Atmega to accomplish this.  I believe I would have to use some relays to switch on/off a 240v AC source? ...

    Would this work on a motorcycle?

    Thanks for your reply. :) I've just checked the bike and it uses a 12v battery.  Although since my last post we've decided to sell the cbr and use a kawasaki ninja 900 as the test subject instead.  It also uses a 12v batt. :) Cheers again

    Would this work on a motorcycle?

    Hi guys. I've been given access to a fully functional Honda CBR 600 motorcyle to mess around with the electronics (just for the record, I'm allowed to break the bike :) ). While looking through the projects here I found this one in the 'Automotive' section...

    EPROM Eraser using UV Leds... possible?

    You want to use germicidal bulbs (UVC).  You can get them quite easily. Don't buy them from somewhere that is selling them specifically for eprom eraser units, they tend to charge alot more for them.  Best getting them from a pet shop (used in aquariums).

    Need info on a Sony GDM-17E11

    I've just done some reading. I believe it could be the same service manual as the Sun GDM-17E10 monitor. Just incase someone has that ;)

    infrared link for mobile

    Have a look at http://www.lirc.org/receivers.html for building an IR receiver and http://www.lirc.org/transmitters.html for building an IR transmitter. Both the receiver and transmitter are erally simple devices which can easily be built into the same device. That will give you your physical...

    LVD ultra2 scsi terminator

    Hi, As far as I can see, the terminator is just a 330 Ohm resistor. Sorry I cant tell you what pins the resistor needs to be on, I'm checking this from an SCA adapter I have here. All of my drives are SCA80 so I need to use adaptors. Remember most new scsi controllers support auto...
