Replacing memory back up cells with a super capacitor
We were discussing batteries a few weeks ago and I mentioned I used high value capacitors, AKA super capacitors, to replace the 3V lithium disk cell.
I received an email asking for details.

How do you measure really high voltage...like for a spark plug.
I ran into a problem Monday, time for the first lawn cutting of the year, trust me, at 73 I don't even use a riding mower because the vibration would kill my artificial knees, our landlords are a set

Re: logic of bjt regulator
Pull out your analog design books.
This is a feedback loop.? The two NPN transistors are a differential pair.? ?I trust you know how differential pairs work.? The difference voltage between the

logic of bjt regulator
Hello, I am trying to understand the dinamics of the circuit taken from the youtube video.
if we apply 2V DC the node 2 on the photo will be 1.4 (Vbe=0.6)
The node 1 will expirience some voltage wich

Re: A downright amazingly stupid LED headlight, I'm impressed.

I have a theory about that.? Drivers instinctively use the space between oncoming headlights to gauge how far away it is.?

Re: analog feedback temprature regulator question
This is just a question about the question you asked, as I am unable to provide information about plans for a differential temperature regulator -
I am unsure how to interpret "1Kelvin".

Hello, I am looking for a differential feedback temprature regulator project which explains the theory best it could and give practical example in simulation.
I am looking to design a very precise

Re: Active Antennas
After spending too much time searching and reading about active antennas and
building a library, I visited Amazon.
Search for "Mini-Whip Antenna".
There are enclosed ones, but I ordered a promising

Re: Some comments on SDR radios and control software
Thanks,
I have no specific plans except testing the new technology and also look at GPS signals.
I did a lot of work with GPS 30 years ago and I still have some active GPS antennas to try.

Re: Sata acquisition and data logging
Yes but I'd be forced to learn to use an Ardino, build a case, etc, the Dataq requies a USB cable and is ready to go, time saved at my age is well worth a few dollars.

Re: Some comments on SDR radios and control software
Thanks for the introduction of SDRplay.
I used to design commercial RF equipment but not for the last couple of decades.
So I decided to buy the SDRply RSPdx-R2.
Now I have to review the antenna
