I got my hands on an old e-ink price tag and want to repurpose this display....

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....

I want to use an IC that will take x4 3.0 PCIe lanes, and adds a USB 3.1 controller....

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?

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

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....

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...

Hello,...

Hi all! I recently purchased some push-lights for my kitchen from my hardware store, and I stupidly didn’t read the package that said that they shut off after 30 mins. This is super inconvenient in my dark kitchen, and I can’t return them. I figured I might as well tinker with them, and any help would be greatly appreciated....

Right to the point: On a BPI-R3, should connecting the UART debug pins directly to the appropriate pins on a DB9 USB serial adapter (rx->tx, tx->rx, gnd->gnd) work? Because I’m just getting a garbled mess in my serial console. I’ve tried all different baud rates. I’m using a high quality serial adapter (Keyspan Tripp...

Hey folks, I have a Mackie 802-VLZ4 mixer which does this narsty pop when you turn it on; I’m pretty sure it’s what killed one of the woofers in my monitors. It has been put out of service and I will either harvest its many through-hole organs or else fix it....

Hi, I am automating my manual switches at home with ESPHome on NodeMCU. For controlling the switches, I am using 8 channel relay module....

I have a whole bunch of them. They are possibly a bit older (70s, 80s) judging by other contents of the junk box they are from....

This photo shows the power conversion side of two versions of the same board. Input is up to 60V DC, board converts to 5V and then down to 3.3V....

Hi!...

I've wondered this occasionally over the years, but never got it working....

I recently bought a thinkpad T470 for a good deal, and it turns out that it was a good deal because the BIOS is locked with an admin password so I can't install an OS, or change any BIOS settings....

I have a acer c740 chromebook that has a cracked charging jack hoping I can find replacement part for it. Picture attached shows what's left of some number on it I think it's 150726+F4 not sure what the symbol is. The male end end is 3mm od 1.1mm Id if that helps.

Since MOSFETs have a gate capacitance you’d want to limit the inrush of current from the output of a microcontroller to prevent it from getting damaged prematurely. That’s what gate resistors are usually good for....

My Google-fu has completely failed me. I’ve got an RGB addressable led curtain. It has 20 strings of 20 LEDs in a square arrangement. I initially assumed it had a wire feeding led data back up, to go to the next drop. On checking however, they are T jointed....

Questions:...

Is there a way to figure out my LED board and fix it myself? I got this LED light which works perfectly but the issue is the usb charger port on the left is not working for whatever reason. There are two ports one micro for charging the led and one usb for outlet charging. Is there a way to switch the charging to the usb port?...
