    Car side-mirror dimmer simulator circuit - DIY

    Would like to make a simple car side-mirror simulator circuit. The side mirrors I installed (for better blind spot) do not have a dimmer circuit and I am getting LIN bus errors since the dimmer wires are disconnected. Would like to DIY something that fools the car into thinking it is...

    Choosing the Placement and Voltage of a Filtering Capacitor

    Hi All, This is probably a very easy question, but if I have a 3.7v lipo battery attached to a voltage regulator outputting 3v, and I have a 100nF filtering capacitor to filter out noise, should I put the capacitor before or after the voltage regulator. Also, would I just want the voltage...

    Can Impedance change be affected by capacitors for ESD protection?

    I put the 1nF capacitor for ESD protection in the LIN interface node. After testing 6kV, impedance deterioration before and after was measured in the measurements. Does this mean that insufficient capacitance values are likely to be applied?

    Capacitor going to input of op-amp ruining ramp rate

    Hi all, I have this IC which creates a linear voltage ramp proportional to the input voltage based on the capacitor on the output in parallel to ground. I then have to do some analog computation using op amps. When I connect the output of this IC to an op-amp, the ramp is ruined. Is there any...

    Help this complete and utter newbie get an op amp voltage follower working

    Hi everybody, I'm taking a beginners DC circuitry course and I'm trying to learn on my own time about analog circuitry, something which has fascinated me for a while now. One of the things I'm trying to start with is, as the title states, a voltage follower, since this is (supposed to be) a...

    Simple FM Tuner Transistor Alternative

    Hi, I am trying to make a simple fm tuner as per the circuit diagram attached. Problem is, BF494 transistors are not readily available in my locality. Hence, I have used 2N3904 transistors as an alternative choice but the tuner doesn't seems to work. Can this transistor be used in this circuit?

    Why is my Hoverboard Motherboard Making This Sound When Powering After Discharge?

    YouTube video with the sound What is this sound, and why does it happen? After discharging the motherboard (turning it on without a power source), and then powering it with a battery, it makes that high pitched noise (before the buzzer beep). Is it the capacitors charging? It makes the same...

    Motor blowing the start capacitor, now throwing sparks from centrifugal switch!

    Hi all, I got a Delta 50-761 dust collector second hand and it has been giving me trouble. It turns on, fan runs, but it blows the start capacitor within seconds. I replaced the capacitor and it did it again. I looked at the centrifugal switch, thinking it might not be functioning and causing...

    Determine Capacitor Value for Smoothing DC Ripple

    Hi Ladies / Gents - I am trying to understand this concept a little better. C = I / (2 x f x Vpp) "Vpp = the minimum ripple (the peak to peak voltage after smoothing) that may be allowable or OK for the user, because practically it's never feasible to make this zero, as that would demand an...

    Smoothing voltage drops when cranking with a capacitor

    Hi All, I have a issue I am trying to resolve. I am using a timed output relay (Redarc TIM05) as a kill switch. Once a momentary button is pushed, an output is set at 30 seconds, supplying 12v to pin 86 of a 30amp relay that runs inline with the starter motor trigger. The issue I am having, is...

    Purpose of the Capacitor in this filter

    Hi, I do understand that the C5, L3, C6 form a pi filter. But what is the purpose of the other capacitors i.e C8 and C7? What purpose do they serve?

    Using mosfets to switch capacitors into series

    Me and my friends have been building a project for a couple of months now and we got stuck on on something we dont have much experience with. We need to connect 4 charged capacitors into series in order to have a higher voltage than the supply, we have been using relays and a arduino nano to do...
