Re: Capacitor Values

Larry Hendry
 

Yep.
1uF (10n-6) = 1000nF (10n-9) = 1,000,000pf (10n-12)

Re: 1/4" - rca jacks

Larry Hendry
 

Normally this is not possible for both jacks. One of the normal
functions of the 1/4' jacks in guitar pedals is to make up the ground
side of the battery connection effectively turning the pedal "ON"
That is why you should always unplug your cables when not in use to
save your battery. Since the RCA jack does not have a switch (not
any I have seen), the 1/4" phone cannot be directly replaced.

1/4" phone male to 1/4 RCA female adapters are plentiful and cheap.

Yes, but it would be easier to use an adapter to convert 1/4" to an RCA
phono jack. The mechanical connection with an RCA plug/jack is much less
reliable than the 1/4" and will pull out a lot easier, which could be very
inconvenient when you are playing, not to mention the additional noise that
will be introduced. The poor connection (compared to the 1/4") will raise
hell with ground loop problems too. Gold plated connectors are a must to
minimize these potential problems - even with an adapter. Good luck with
whatever you decide.

Re: Shocker Pen

Larry Hendry
 

I think most of these things are very simple. I recently had a
cigarette lighter just like that that ran on one AAA battery.
Usually, they only contain a coil. They work just like the coils in
autombiles. You energize the coil with the battery. When you open
the circuit and the coil is de-energized, the lines of flux collapse
and produce a very high voltage for a very short duration. This is
the way high voltages for spark plugs are derrived from 12 volt
batteries. My older brother gave me this lesson once (40 years
ago)with a model "A" coil he had wired to a chair in his room with a
battery and tap switch.

New Updates on 2-Line VFD Displays (photos, serial mode tips/mods, doc changes, etc.)

Ed Miller
 

A West-coast buyer and associates he is working with
have developed some modifications and addendums to the
original documentation for these VFD displays, which
are an advanced version compared to the original
versions.

The new docs help you with hookup, power-up reset, and
serial mode operation, featuring several photos. Hope
this helps.

-original message-

I have a large quantity of used Futaba M202SD08
standard character display modules (vacuum flourescent
displays or VFDs) for sale for $15.00 each, with free
shipping. (Free shipping in the US only - foreign
buyers need to conact me for shipping rates)

On my VFD page at
you'll
find photos, specifications, a link to the operations
manual in PDF format so you can download the manual
free, a link to Futaba for further information, my
eBay buyer / seller ratings, and more.

These VFDs can be used in a variety of applications
such as BASIC STAMPS, 80C52-BASIC controllers, PCs,
robotics, PICs, PLCs, miscellaneous projects for the
electronics hobbyist and experimenter, and more.

These displays were removed from good equipment
because they weren't "showroom new". A few of the
pixels are slightly dim, but each has been
individually tested and found to be in good working
order.

Each module comes with a 30-day guarantee (minus
return shipping charges) if returned in undamaged
condition with your sales receipt.

They may not be suitable for production use, but they
are a terrific bargain for experimenters, developers,
prototyping and hobbyists.

These VFDs retail new for $70-90 each, but I am
offering good used ones for about 1/4th that price.
Only $15.00 each, shipping included.

I accept personal checks and money orders, or you can
use your credit card securely via PayPal to order with
the "Buy-It-Now" button on my page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact
me.

Brainwave monitor

Victor Valdez
 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

?
?
Is there anybody that can help me to design a pic based interface for a brainwave monitor? I need at least a four channel display. It can be for pc or gameboy.
I think a dual channel oscilloscope presented in EPE magazine, based in 16F877 can help, but I would like to know how to add more channels. In Elektor was presented a gameboy based oscilloscope, but I have not read it.
?
The analog part is easier for me.

I was able to find several of the

whoawhoawhoa... that's exactly what I'm looking for.
there's a Lockheed Martin near me, do you think there'd be a surplus store?
how do you find something like that?

Re: optical lens

 

Thanks Keith and Peter for your input on this. Keith, do you have a
web address for 'Messrs Griffin and George' as a yahoo and lycos
search became very convoluted. Peter, I took your advice and went to
the Boeing surplus near my home. I was able to find several of the
old TV cameras used for survelience for $5.00US each. I am anxious
to strip the one I bought to see if it will do the job. The case is
perfect for the laser simulator I intend to build. If the lens works
then we are off to a great start. ttyl, Jim

Nonsense..Go to www.repairfaq.org and check out Sam Goldwasser's Laser FAQ.
Or go get "The Laser Guidebook" by Jeff Hecht, published by McGraw-Hill, ISBN
