Hi all, I am embarking on a project to "recreate" the sound of a 1990s Drumfire sound board. Somebody posted a plan on Yahoo. I noticed a couple of parts -- op amps with leading circles -- that Google displayed as OTA, operation transconductance amplifiers. I had never heard of that. The model in the circuit, the CA3080, is unobtanium but I found on Digikey a couple (very few) of replacement OT...


Unsolderable wire?

I am trying to solder some RG-6 shield to a pcb. The braid won't tin. It's almost like it's dissipating the heat faster than I can apply it. With both a temp-controlled iron (set as high as 700F) and a mondo 100W stick I finally tried. The solder will barely melt when touched to the braid opposite the iron. I've applied some Kester rosin paste flux as well using my trusty Kester 60/4...

Help with identifying a TO-92 transistor?(at least I think it?s a transistor?) Pretty vanilla-looking with National Semi logo. Marked: NS 444 ST 13903 (The ?NS? is the logo.) Not enough 4?s to make up a standard 2N number, and 13903 looks like a date code? Ideas? Thanks,


Overcharging NiMh batteries?

My neighbor has a solar powered outdoor decoration light that cycles through several colors but only runs for maybe an hour at night. It has a single 1200 mAh 1.2 volt rechargeable battery and a couple small solar cells to charge the battery. I measured the load current at 15 milliamps and the charge current at only 1.3 milliamps so it appears the solar array is not charging the battery ...

Hi all, I'm sure someone has an quick answer for this. I'd like a simple circuit or a part that produces a pulse -- basically a one-shot -- with both a rising edge and falling edge input signal. All the multivibrator ICs I have seen will trigger on rising OR falling, but not on both. How can I get a trigger on both? Thank you! -- Douglas Beeson
