There are 3 tricks to make that easier: A) get some SMD solder paste and reflow the buggers, much easier than you probably expect. B) tack one end first as...

Ciao Marco, I haven't worked with a CCD sensor before but a CMOS one. The reason might be the different amount of charge between even and odd field scans. ...
Hi, One can use PTC thermistors, which are also used as autoresettable fuses, for currents that you want thru' LED. It is low res. when cool & adjusts res...
Ciao Murat, your suggestion is correct : adding another exposure between the 4th and 5th steps solves the problem. However I can use this trick for very short...
Hi. I'm looking for a very fast optocoupler. The fastest I have in my database supports signals up to 1 Mbit/s, that's not enough for my application. I need a...
Gotcha! The HCPL-260L seems to be able to reach 15 Mbit/s! ... From: Vito Russo To: Electronics_101@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 4:43 PM ...
We talked about them recently. Today i came across what must be the most stupid of all. I went to bellsouth.com to maybe find out why their customers do...
Like I said yesterday, web designers are more into nonesense than content these days. I guess it is sort of like a "peeing contest". But rather than seeing...
I agree it is a problem, but... As the standard for web content changes and with increasing demand for features, browsers change. Unfortunately, there is no...

I think there is opera for linux too. Go to www.opera.com and be done with all the browser and email crap, you won't ever need another one. I wouldn't use IE...
... I've noticed that about some web pages for quite a while now... :-) What I'd suggest is that you dump IE and get yourself a copy of Firefox. And then...

I was out wandering the Internet and ran across this stepper motor driver. It is useful for motors up to 3A at 45V and uses an ATmega48 microcontroller. I'm...
Hi Guys, I scrounged a transformer out of something - not 100% sure, but I think it came out of a UPS for computers. It's pretty big and I am hoping to figure...
HI, This may be stupid. I'm fairly ignorant about all this. What I'm hoping to do is replace 100k or 250k or 500k pots (in musical devices) with very long...

Hi ALex, I don't know any specifics, (I too am learning), however, the one thing that came to mind instantly was a potential problem. Getting something having...

Hi Chris, Your guess on which side is the primary is probably correct. Having 3 wires, it may be centre tapped for 110/240 volt input. Then again maybe not. ...
