Has anyone ever actually been unlucky enough to get solder splattering into their eye? I've had it hit my leg, hand, and face, but never in my eye.

I have a dead Ac/Dc adaptor. I'm busted it just to learns stuff. Im trying to learn how to test Transformers. This transformer says on it AM= S10405 RG 1320F. I provide this to give all information, however Im not sur= e it matters much to my question. I have so far removed from what I can gather are the Primary wires from the= board. I assume they are because they are white and black and ...

No way to pull over a heavy commercial vehicle after knocking off its tail light even if you wanted to so even though it must represent a small fraction of unreported minor accidents, freeways are littered with perfectly functional tail lights. The question is, what is the easiest way to convert the 3s X 8p 12v wiring of the LEDs to 8s X 3p? And do I really need a resistor in each series? ...

I was not sure which group to post this too, so this is the closest I could find. I have a security camera sold by Harbor Freight. It is a Cobra CCTV. This is what I am trying to set up for sending me video of my camera/ https://imgur.com/a/P1R0E9P I am trying to get it set up so it will send video to my email address. I contacted Harbor Freight and there were of no help. Is t...

Hi folks I'm really new with electronics. Doing a massive project for a retro computer system and, as a prong of this project I'm attempting to locate a modern equivalent of the board components. Enter the tantalum capacitor. Having gone to digikey, mouser, and newark none of them seem to have the item I'm looking for in stock. What are the rules about alternate values? The tantalum cap I'm...

Hi, I'd like to try and build a brake light flasher circuit for a motorcycle (12V). Brake light should flash 3-5 times then remain on (solid red). I'm new to electronics so not everything is clear to me. Is it possible to build such a circuit and remain in 12V "domain" or is it necessary to step down to 5V to power an IC (a counter with a clock, for example) ? I'd like to use a 12V LED bulb (e...

On my multimeter, the voltage readings get inaccurate over time due to battery discharge. My meters all use 9 volt batteries. How can I tell when to change out the batteries? Thanks.
