    Want a particular switch to cutoff my auto ac from my stick shift.

    I have no meaningful understanding of cars or air conditioning, so I have nothing to say :(

    Help with the most basic LED circuit

    Yes - the breadboard error was staring me in the face, but I still failed to see it. Glad you worked that out for yourself.

    Help with the most basic LED circuit

    Your power supply is indicating something between 20 and 29.999 milliamps. Your power supply indication will not have perfect accuracy A standard red LED will have a voltage drop of something around 1.6 to 2.0 Volts IIRC. This means that the resistor will have somewhere around 7.5 Volts across...

    a theory to possibly get a 1000 volt super capacitor

    April 1st was two days ago You are late to the party dragon/ratstar/capernicus We had a great time without you :)

    Hi voltage generator with caps and diodes

    Please would you confine your brainless nonsense baby-babble to just one thread, not keep opening new pointless threads on the same garbage topic Cannot stand it any more Thank you Hex

    Lava lamp

    I am not confident that I can identify any pin-compatible chip. Possibly a PIC12 could be bodged to do the job, but I am not happy guessing Time for me to give in, I think Don't want to give bad advice.

    Lava lamp

    Forgot about another requirement: 7) Owner needs to accept any and all risks - you would be wise to remove old chip in one piece, very neatly. This will allow restoration of the old chip should a new one have issues. If the risk of breaking the lava lamp is unacceptable, then leave the lamp...

    Lava lamp

    If you lived in UK I might be tempted to do 2 to 5 for you and post you a chip. My guess is that you are not in UK, so you are out of luck Maybe post a picture of the other side of the board in case. No schematic required Also tell us all of the numbers and letters written on top of the chip...

    Lava lamp

    It looks to me as though the only way to change speed or pattern would be to replace the 8-pin microcontroller. It requires: 1) Knowing the pin-out of the 8-pin chip (just requires a clear photograph of the other side of the board for forum members to work out) 2) Having, or buying a spare...

    Can anyone suggest me high quality electronic manufacturing products provider?

    No, If ETO forum is a guide... This is a sock puppet shill account to allow a different SPAM account to reply. Same effect though Needs a ban either way

    Electrolytic capacitor doubts

    Thanks for the support, but I feel a little guilty. I really want to be a nice person, but regularly fail miserably. Maybe gamer87 really has medical issues that require empathy that I am failing to provide. Oh well. Life is hard

    Electrolytic capacitor doubts

    FFS How many more f'ing times are you going to ask the same f'ing question and ignore the replies? Can't stand it any longer..... You are sick! Here is what I know so far: User names: John rodrigues, johnroduigues, Gamer87, gamer87, micksmelanie, james23051987, cloudff7, cloud ff7...

    lego style analogue computer

    Yes, it has been done before... Google for "snap circuits" There was a modular STM32 system available for a short time that used hexagon CPU cards and analogue add-ons, but that presumably failed, as I cannot find it now Thank you for editing your original post to something more acceptable

    Monitoring Rs232 data

    " I've verified continuity and it passed a loopback test." Be aware that this test will pass even if baud rate is completely wrong or if Tx/Rx is crossed

    Monitoring Rs232 data

    Software is a very poor tool for diagnosing bad wiring. It is generally only useful for verifying good wiring, and even then can give misleading results if you do not fully understand the limitations.

    Monitoring Rs232 data

    First thing is to check that wiring is correct, ideally using breakout box with LED indications. Connect One side at a time and check that no LED is lit for both sides, and that every expected LED is lit on one side or the other. i.e. no output pin is driving another output. The cheaper way to...

    Potentiometer with two extra connectors

    That is a combined on/volume pot. You will feel a click when you turn pot fully anti-clockwise. The extra two pins will go open circuit when fully anticlockwise.
