So the amp needs a proper box and I have a penchant for hoarding scrap with a view to repurposing. Title of this post has great meaning for me. I like a pun. At the moment you can buy a 2nd hand looking new guitar (Road Worn)from the likes of Fender. All they do is scrape the paint a bit...
Just posted my ultimate bread board in Projects. It all works and I'm very happy despite a few errors in fabrication. The LEDs don't all power off at the same speed which is annoying - I guess a little bit of maths may be involved and I will need to get the resistor values right. One thing I...
Hi, this is my first ever blog and no doubt the contents will be full of first ever projects. Please bear in mind I'm a beginner in electronics, have pudgy work hardened hands, two energetic young children that and a whole load of household chores competing for my attention. I was never happy...

Okay a little rant.... We have a design exercise to do in uni - it is a PIC based counting circuit, which counts the number of objects passing between a light source and an LDR on a conveyor belt. We were told that there should be a circuit built from op amps to convert the analogue signal...
The experiment was a success, at least I know it worked on holes down to 1mm. I dont know about smaller holes because I cant see inside them so therefore I will electrically test those soon. But the bigger holes had a nice layer of copper in them which is fantastic. TO proove that it was copper...

Here's a Bubba oscillator that uses diodes to give a soft limit to control the amplitude of the oscillator and provide low distortion (better than a half percent at Vout in simulation). I also modified the circuit so that the left capacitor is in the feedback of the inverting stage and thus...
2 sets and 4 kinds ±5~15V fixed dual power supplies. This is a two separated fixed positive and negative dual power supplies : this power has been used for over 18 years (before 1995) Regulator IC : 7815, 7915, 712, 7912, 7809, 7909, 7805,7905. Vout +15V, +12V, 10V, +9V, 0V, -9V, -10V, -12V...

A couple of weeks ago, I volunteered for a undergraduate teaching assistant position for an introductory course on microcontrollers and embedded systems for sophomores. It was an unpaid position and required me to dedicate 4-5 hours a week for labs. My application was accepted and I have been...

A thread was started in the Off-Topic forum the day before I was to undergo gastric bypass surgery and the following was my response to it. I'm putting this an subsequent follow-ups in a blog since that just seem a reasonable thing to do. My response to the thread: It's interesting that...

I've been at uni for more than five months now. Not once have I seen a soldering iron. I've used a breadboard twice though. This is engineering, not theoretical electron management. :P
So, here's the thing. Got coursework due in on Friday. Lots of work set, really too much set to do during the time allotted each week (seriously, not typical student excuse). So here I am. Not too much to do now. Mainly organising it. What good is a tidy logbook? Logbooks should be...
Toroidal Inductor An inductor constructed by placing a winding on a core that was a donut shapes surface, toroidal coirs are available in many magnetic core materials with in the four basic types: ferrite,powered iron, alloy and high flux and tape wound,characteristics of toroidal inductors...
Distributed capacitance In the construction of an inductor, each turn of wire or conductor acts as a capacitor plate, the combined effects of each turn can be represented as a single capacitance knows as the distributed capacitance,this capacitance is in parallel with the inductor, this parallel...
