hello. i'm new to the group and to electronics...

is it possible to change the 1/4" jacks of a distortion pedal to rca
jacks? thanks....jason

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.

Hello,
I saw this really cool shocking pen at the store yesterday,(you
push down the top and it gives you a good jolt) but it was $30.
Does
anyone here have or know where I could get a schematic to make
something like that? Thanks.

Does anyody know of circuit diagrams/scematics for popular electric fence units, also I am looking for specs on popular electric fence wire, say the resistivity and other specs, Cheers - Mike

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.

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.

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
old TV cameras used for survelience for $5.00US each.

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?

Jim,
Griffins e-m address (I am sure you would receive the info you need) is:

also their website is: www.griffinandgeorge.co.uk

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

plenty of source for older second hand lens assemblies for cameras that you

helpfull. I also do a bit of photography as a hobby, and have found some

hi everyone,
I am 32 y.o. and for about 8 years I work as a TV serviceman.I am
looking for a job in a TV repairshop or something close to that.If
anybody is interesting to have a cheap&skilled employer just let me
know.pls mail to :soptea@...

Do you know anybody who did that, some contact or web addressess.

Some students at UC Davis where I used to go had set up their own

their

dorm building. Then with a laptop they could go anywhere on campus
and pick up the two-way connection. Just like ethernet, no wires.
All dorm computers there had shared T1 connection, so it was very
fast. It was a hoot to see streaming video in the middle of a

I didn't find out much about what they actually did, but I know it
sure is possible.

I am a computer student and I wanted to do a project in communication
between two computers. I was planning to do dialupnetworking without
phonelines. I want to use a wireless device instead of phoneline. A
transciever which can be connected to a modem and fool the modem that it is
connected to a telephone line. This has a small problem. We will have to
produce a dialtone, and when the modem dials the device on the other modem
should produce ringing tone.

Since nobody really responds to audible car alarms anymore, and everybody hates them, it would make more sense to have the sensors in the car alarm trigger, via RF signals, a message sent to a pager, phone, or audible alarm within the house. This would allow for more discrete notification, and possible tracking of the vehicle. It would also be possible to set up two-way communications between the vehicle and base station in home or cell phone so the owner could yell at the theif personally. That would be fun.

I would love to hear the end of loud car alarms. Especially the Viper ones that cycle through the same tone patterns over and over and over while I'm trying to sleep.

-Tavys

I know lots about sensors and switches, but nothing about wireless and
software.
let's talk!
email: dan@...

I know a bit about RF stuff, circuit design, machine design, optical sensors, control circuitry, and relay logic, etc. I'm interested in collaborating on this.
