Jdlee77 on COM-11694 - Silicon Nitride Igniter - 12V

I would not use this product for something that needs to ignite immediately. I would build in a delay to the code to start gas flow after a few seconds (until it gets hot) Plus im sure it draws a lot...

kfitch42 on TOL-11866 - Analog Panel Meter - 0 to 20mA (Ding and Dent)

Looks like we are being warned about … something to do with 2.5 … on the lower right. What exactly is that?

SVFeingold on PRT-11316 - Polymer Lithium Ion Battery - 40mAh

Maybe, but the maximum charging current listed is 2.5 Amps.I’m pretty shocked that you don’t take more care to clear that up for your customers. Whether it’s dangerous or not (and assumptions like the...

Conrthomas on New Product Friday: Take Me Down to Stencil Town

In my intro to digital logic class, we used Altera DE-1 FPGA prototype boards. While I don’t like to recommend leaning Verilog, and the Quartus/ModelSim software pretty much sucks, I still learned a...

First symbol – for DC measurement. Second symbol indicates that it’s a moving coil type. The 2.5 is its wikipedia:class value. The third symbol is probably more a “pay attention to this when reading...

Customer #333250 on The FCC and Open Source Hardware

I am still reading the “more information”, but is there not a way to crowd-source this? One thought is to go to an open field ( the quietest place in country ) with some test gear, maybe twice a year...

e-radionica on COM-10444 - WS2801 IC

I want to run these at 12V with 3 LEDs connected to a single chip. I need 5V zener diode + filter cap as datasheet says to make chip work on 12v. What about R/G/B feedback pins: are resistors on them a...

After fabricating 200pcs of PCBs I have learnt that it needs. :( 22pF works perfect.

e-radionica on BOB-10504 - WS2801 Breakout

There are 27ohm resistors on feedback pins on this board. They regulate current output on 22mA on R/G/B channels. If you are using 5050 LED and 5V supply, you can void resistors on output pins.

JakeR on New Product Friday: Take Me Down to Stencil Town

I learned on a DE-2 (More buttons and stuff) by Altera. We used it with VHDL which is probably what I would recommend, but be warned that the DE-1 and DE-2 have very little support besides the 1000...

Check out the schematic. This one, and probably any other that uses a single AA, has a boost circuit. In this product’s schematic, it’s in the top left section of the page. Looks like it boosts up to 5V.

Hi guys, Recently I buy the MPU9150 boards and want to get raw data from the on-board acc, gyro and compass. However the problem is that I am able to read acc and gyro data through primary I2C bus but...

Customer #442677 on SEN-11486 - 9 Degrees of Freedom - MPU-9150 Breakout

I’m considering purchase of this breakout, but I have two questions:as I’m more .Net, rather than micros, developer, I consider it for usage with .Net Gadgeteer mainboard, as it’s I2C, seems natural to...
