OK this is perhaps overkill.. see footnote. So I've got an indicator LED (bi-color) the input is the error term from a thermal loop, and I turn that into an LED current. I was thinking it might be nice to turn up the gain on the current, but then I worried about burning out the LED with too much current from the opamp.* So I drew this up... and then added the diodes to stop the trans...

Aloha! I'm reverse engineering an early 1980s era PCB. On the board is this DIP-packaged trimpot resistor. Its dimensions is typical of a 14-pin 74-series package. The part consists of three 10K ohm trimpot resistors. From the schematic diagram (package is labeled MP1,) the three groups are: trimpot 1 - pins 2, 13, 14 trimpot 2 - pins 6, 9, 10 trimpot 3 - pins 4, 11, 12 https://ibb.c...

Got this camera, runs on two AA batteries. I want to eliminate them. I do not want USB, I want to have a three volt walwart, or one that is regulated down to three volts. I am not willing take the camera apart but I am willing to modify the cap for the batteries which is also the cap for the SD card it takes. I know I will probably have to eliminate the shorting bar which puts th

Vintage pix of the 75 RPM Steam piston plants that supplied 25 Hz 11 KVAC to the substations and rotary converters and motor-generators that supplied 600 VDC to the 'third rail.'

Good Day Sir/Ma'am, I'm a technician and I am in need of schematic diagram of a sequential four transistor driven relay which i will needing for my project as part of my study. I have a single input source driven by LDR, the first relay should be turned on and then off,while the second, third and fourth relay should be remain off, then when the LDR is active the second relay sho

This may be a stupid question, but here goes. We all know that cable is graded for its current carrying capabilities according to its cross-sectional area. BUT, could one conceivably pass excessive amounts of current through a cable not rated to carry it by pulsing the current in short bursts at a very low duty cycle?

The World?s Largest Solar Plant Just Torched Itself Misaligned mirrors are being blamed for a fire that broke out yesterday at the world?s largest solar power plant, leaving the high-tech facility crippled for the time being. It sounds like the plant?s workers suffered through a real hellscape, too. A small fire was reported yesterday morning at the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating ...
