Hi guys,
Hope you are all well and staying safe under the circumstances.
I am hoping I can get some help and advice on some electronics.
So I currently have 2 designs I'm playing with and want your opinions on parts and components to help these designs work as efficiently as possible.
So my first project is a miniature working circular saw, I aim for this to be fully functional and allow me to use it in my matchstick/woodwork hobby (which I also incorporate electronics with) I have a basic prototype that works but I know with a few tweaks I can improve it no end.
The circuit I am using has 1 x 4.5v lego motor, a basic switch I took from an led aquarium light, and a dremel 12v battery. So far it works ok and I will be rebuilding it using sturdier components ie metal spindles and bearings etc. As it stands too much resistance on the blade stops the motor turning, is this something I can avoid/improve woth electronic components?
The second project I am working on is a mobile phone docking station complete with speakers built in. I am building this out of wood and matchsticks and plan to embed the cables and components into it. I have found a smallish speaker but I'm ideally looking for speakers 15mm diameter. And also wanting to know what if any electrical components could improve this design. So far electrics wise it is just a charging cable and an audio cable linked to 2 speakers.
Thanks verry much in advance guys
