    in search of a FM STEREO transmitter

    Lucky guy...my germainum plant died a few years back. Can't do nuttin' with it. I tried uploading the zip archive (only 2MB) but the board is fussin' at me about it. Anyway, if'n you want the article in its entirety (downloads and all), let me know.

    in search of a FM STEREO transmitter

    Of all things, I had trouble locating the page for the article...I finally tried "stereo FM micromitter" as the search key. It comes up as the only hit. I'll hoover the article, graphics and associated downloads and stuff 'em in a zip archive for those who are interested in it.

    in search of a FM STEREO transmitter

    Zaire is sticking in my mind as the country for the tld "ZA" but I certainly could be wrong on that count. Anyway...The order processing is routed through edmdesign.com, so you can: [email protected][example.user]# whois edmdesign.com Whois Server Version 1.3 Domain Name...

    "Desperate Housewife" with Remote Control Project

    Glad whatever I was able to contribute was of some assistance to you. :) Now, as I'm looking at your photos, I'm just letting my mind coast along a bit as to what kind of overall plan you want to craft on this. If it was something that belonged to me, I would definitely put a ball-glide on...

    6V Ultra-Bright Chaser

    Last time I upped my inventory of solid state lamps, I bought from BlackFeather Electronics. Cost was good, and they generously adjusted their pricing in accordance with the quantities ordered. All-in-all, they were very good and fast on the turn-around. They've since moved their...

    Yup....but 1 or 2 Mb of storage is trivial now.

    "Desperate Housewife" with Remote Control Project

    I see what you mean. That thing needs the slot routed-out a bit larger, and the sliding panel should be mounted on good quality ball glides. Your carpenter should be able to understand that much about the situation. With 15mm/s thrust rate, be aware that the time to open up the panel will be...

    Subject Line Descriptions

    Nothing new. This is something that's been bugging on lists since the 80's. I agree with you in that it's major, "GRRRRRRRR!" territory. How about requiring that everyone read ESR's "How to Ask Questions..." document before allowing them to post? ;D

    "Desperate Housewife" with Remote Control Project

    Like Ldanielrosa says, you're probably looking for a "jack-of-all-trades" type of person; and getting a look at the situation certainly would go a long way towards getting a solution in the shortest possible time. [added] Electronics is the easy part. Custom carpentry is really where I get...

    Shift Registers

    Give it one bit per D-FF that you were going to use. Of course, if you happen to have 299 E+06 metera of serial cable lying around, your problem is already solved. ;)

    Photocopier!!!

    If you are searching for Service documentation for what would be considered to be a low, medium, high or production volume office/repro-center photocopier; you will have to get that kind of information directly from the manufacturer/distributor or field service firm. If you can. Be forewarned...

    Reduce 12vdc to 6 v dc

    That settles it. Use 4 - 'D' cells. In series. ;D

    Calculating voltage output of Capacitor in AC Circuit

    As a matter of fact, I recall seeing something like that, although I can't recall if I was looking at the voltage across the secondary, or the current through it. I'd imagine that it could have been the former at some point, because the occasion I'm remembering was when I was comparing the...

    Reduce 12vdc to 6 v dc

    You could run 2 - 6 Volt batteries in series, and tap the batteries to provide 6VDC for the glow plugs. ...or... If the proper connections are present on the glow plugs (two connection terminals on the glow plug itself, instead of an internally grounded terminal and a single external terminal)...

    BNC connectors in 50 and 75 Ohm cables

    Salesmen! ::) They rarely know anything about the things they sell. The first salesman was a simple waste of human flesh. The second salesman was talking (politely phrased) out of his posterior. It's more likely that the shop you went to has only one BNC connector style in the proper...

    Glue vs. Silicone

    For DC through audio circuits, you can use hot-melt glue without problems. For RF circuits, or circuits that use switched-DC that approximates RF frequency rates, use GE Silicone Sealer. The reason being that hot-melt glue, while possessing excellent insulating properties at low frequencies...

    LM317 Variable power supply

    I certainly wasn't thinking on that one. :) In my mind's eye, I saw the diode being implemented at the motor in the same way as a clamping diode, instead of in the usual manner for regulator input shorting protection. More coffee is required.
