    Capacitive Touch Switch Trigger/Activator - Issue

    Hello! I want to automate my Philips 3300 Series LatteGo coffee machine, and ideally without opening it up and voiding warranty. The cheapest, simplest idea seemed to be remotely activating the capacitive touch buttons on the control panel of the machine. It seems remote activation of...

    Suggestions for diodes

    I need suggestions for a diode or some type of one way “valve” for a wire in my car. I recently wired up a fuel pump relay with 2 power sources to control the relay. But I need suggestions for a diode to add to one of the wires to prevent backfeeding. I used a zener diode with a Vz of 12v but it...

    How to Create a 12V Breathing/Fading LED Circuit with My Current Components?

    Hi everyone, I'm working on a project to make an LED that fades in and out (breathing effect) and operates on a 12V power source. I have the following components: 12v strip led 3x 3.7v batteries connected in series = 12v (with added extra voltage when fully charged resulting in 12v) BC547 NPN...

    use a transistor and two capacitors to turn on an LED and close it gradually

    Hi, I'm a physics student, and I have a small problem for a lab that I have to solve. Here is my problem: I must create a circuit which uses capacitors to gradually close a light, but in addition, we must pass the current from the capacitor which discharges by the base of an NPN transistor. A...

    Low pass pi filter problem - check my work?

    Hello everyone. I have a problem regarding low pass pi filters. For context, I am a physics student and this is way, and I mean WAY outside of my purview. So much so, that I can't find this circuit, or anything like it in my textbooks. After some gruesome research, I found some formulas which I...

    Building the impedance measurement circuit

    Dear Members, I hope you are all doing well. I am a PhD student and completely new to circuit design. I need a compact-sized circuit and prefer not to use an impedance analyzer due to its bulkiness. I am looking to build a circuit capable of automatically measuring the impedance of a sensor in...

    Altium Designer circuit - correctly implemented?

    I am a complete beginner, but I would like to learn how to use Altium Designer. Sorry in advance for the silly questions. I have the following two circuits (pic no. 1) that I want to combine into one circuit and draw in Altium Designer schematic. I tried to draw the mentioned circuit in Altium...

    [Help] High-Current Resistor Array

    First Time poster! I am designing a heater circuit that will source a large amount of current (5A max) to a grid of resistors (each resistor gets 5A) from multiple voltage sources so that I can change the thermal "image". I am toying around with ways to get this done. By far the easiest is to...

    Power Switch LED Fading Effect

    I have this non-latching metal power switch with an LED inside, to light up the "power symbol" on the switch. I am currently looking after a circuit that can make this LED gently fade-in whenever power is connected to the circuit. The switch uses a "standard" (or "normal") LED. The...

    Building an Analog RGB to YPbPr Converter

    (Today is National Retro Day) I'm adding HDMI output to my vintage Atari 800XL 8bit computer to project it on my large TV. I'm a novice. I've built a circuit for "High Speed Analog RGB to YPbPr Converter" using an LT6559 & LT1395 to "map RGB signals to YPbPr". It doesn't seem to work and it...

    Circuit board to amplify and filter the electrical signals from the piezoelectric disks

    Hi, im working on creating a step counter using piezoelectric disks. The idea is that I want to use the disks as sensors and be able to read their voltage and current values with an Arduino Uno. Im also using a voltage sensor, the sensor that will be used is an ACS712 that can detect the flowing...
