Having spent over 50 years in electronic labs, designing and testing, I find myself trying to test zener diodes, FETs, LEDs, transistors and many other semiconductor devices. I end up kluging parts to generate a current source with enough voltage compliance to suit my needs. After searching Amazon, eBay and most test equipment vendors, I find a lot of units but none that fit my needs. So...

I want a lot of these: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dmj4vff7mnldrcs/Impossible_Stud.JPG?raw=1 It probably doesn't exist. Maybe a Swiss screw machine company could make us a bucket full of these. Six of these would press into a small PCB, which could then be bolted onto the bottom of a bigger PCB. -- John Larkin Highland Technology, Inc lunatic fringe electronics

Hello! I'm looking for information how to send commands to the popular ELM327 OBD interface. I want to design a stand alone device that check long term fuel trim values along with some other parameters. Is there a good guide somewhere how those commands are set up? Thanks in advance

I have two circuits designed by the same guy, One schematic has the CM choke before the regulator and the other the CM choke is after the regulator. I'm thinking why would you put something between ground and your filter caps not even to mention the return pin off the regulator. Am I wrong? See the schematics here, area of interest is surrounded in red. > https://www.dropbox.com/s/dx0

My Win 8 machine is having convulsions and I figured it is time to get a new one. I'm moving Eudora over to a Win 10 machine and I am getting a strange error message, "Can't start Eudora the first time with attachments Please start Eudora by double clicking the icon or by the command line" I'm not even sure what this means. What attachments are there for Eudora

I had to buy a new laptop a few weeks ago when the Lenovo finally crapped out (what a POS!) I picked up an HP Envy at Costco with Win 10 of course. First thing I did was disable the touch screen. Like nearly every other machine around I can't use the touch pad because it doesn't have separate buttons. So I have to plug in a mouse dongle which isn't too bad on this machine becaus
