I’m trying to replace the jet engine fan inside the PSU of a Nu 1.1 with a Noctua equivalent and am having trouble identifying the connector. The PSU is a Delta Electronics Model EDPS-250AB A, Part Number 400-5494-91....

Hi! I'm working on an arduino project that has a -12v/0v/+12 psu. +12 is fed directly into arduinos voltage regulator, so there's also a +5v line available. I need to convert a -5v+5v signal to 0v+5v to feed it into arduinos analogue input and I've already mocked up a schematic in circuitjs based on an opamp that seems to do...

Mates bread maker stopped working so I had a look inside and saw this burned resistor....

Hello there, This oscillator is a 0V +10v DC oscillator, which after current passes through the capacitor, it produces a -5v +5v AC on the resistor....

Hi!...

I lost my electric fence tester, probably the pigs ate it. But I opened it once to resolder the earth wire and found it’s really just a voltage divider with resistors and leds, so I can probably rebuild with stuff I have. What resistor values though? 2k to 10k V run through the fence. If any of you good people have a diagram,...

My room thermometer is consuming a full stack 3 AAA batteries in just 24 hours. I opened it and found that maybe the component circled in green is burnt (CAZB)....

If I wanted to make a USB desk fan from a spare CPU fan (input: 12V, 0.15A), could I just solder a resistor to the positive lead of the USB wire? I plan on getting an adjustable voltage booster, but I was curious if this was possible. I think I would need a 13 ohm resistor for USB 3.0.

Here’s a power cable from a Cmt-ex1 Sony CD player. This connector used to be connected to the inside of the power supply. However, I had to disassemble it because I needed to replace the motherboard for the CD player. I found this CD player at Goodwill, but the wire was poorly connected with a completely different cable. It...

I want to connect five OV2640 cameras via FPC to an ESP32 on a custom PCB. Is this generally possible and does the ESP32 have enough power for this or do I need an ESP32 for each camera? The frames per second are not so important as the cameras will be used as QR code scanners. Which components allow to run so many cameras with...

I tried adding an AUX jack to a car stereo with an internal CD player and no native support for one....

I’m looking for a version of this connector (2x2, 2.54mm):...

I have a 12v 6.67A power supply with a male co-axial plug (with centre pin) that’s 7.4mm OD and 5.08mm ID. The metal tube is 12.5mm long....

Hello everyone! I’m designing a PCB and I have some doubts about how to connect the 4 resistors at the top to capacitor C34. They are 4 traces, and all of them terminate at the same pad of the capacitor. As I have currently placed them, are they connected correctly? Or should I connect them in a different way?

Hi, I found an old cellphone battery (from a Pixel3A phone) and I’d like to reuse it for my robotics experiments. (link to images: imgur.com/a/Oj09tai)...

My goal is to drive an infrared LED like (this SFH 4727AS) to control IR remote controlled devices (for example a TV)....

I bought a PWM Dimmer based on a 555 from AliExpress to regulate the brightness of a 12V 1A 1 meter LED strip, I already built one myself years ago on a perfboard but this one was the exact dimensions I needed for a project. I built mine from components from AliExpress and components found in old electronics so I thought nothing...

I am looking for a Toggle switch that will allow me to actuate an actuator manually, or otherwise set the actuator to an ‘automatic’ mode, logic for which which I am coding on an arduino. The switch I want should have momentary On’s for manual trimming that will spring back to an Off position, or it can be left in another...

So I wanted to design a children's toy, where the electronics could last 100 years (ignoring mechanical abuse). I figured some people here might be interested....

I’ve been looking for a simple low-voltage cutoff circuit for a 12v SLA battery, but many of the ones I find have reviews saying that the protection circuit itself drains the battery slowly as well. Is this just inherent in the design, where it has to draw a little to measure the voltage, or are there low-voltage cutoffs that...

I’m interested in learning how to make a proper PCB rather than perf board with wires all over the place.
