After a short amount of googling it's obvious that as you say it's way more trouble than it would be worth. I am still astounded at the amount of computer...
Now that we know your Bicore works correctly without the photodiodes Let's try with "baby steps": 1- Power your bicore without the photodiodes and check it is...
I doubt that the laser would be useful for much. Its extremely complicated, and has to be computer controlled. If you have something that needs a laser, get...
... While I also doubt that the laser is much use, I don't think it needs to be 'computer controlled' if all you want is a beam coming out. OTOH, the lasers...
Hello again everyone :), As far as my question about the lasers out of CD/DVD roms goes, what I was really wondering was how to hook up the laser so I could...
it is great that you want to learn about electronics. go to this site they have free design software also programs to make your computer into test equipent ...
Hmmm ever read the warning that comes with those lasers? they are usually class 1 ;asers, which could blind you! I would not recommend attempting to use them....
Yes I think some should come my way too... as you will know Juan, if you have more than two together they can become highly unstable, possibly resulting in an...
Isn't that the truth. Lol i threw out a really nice printer, right before i found i needed it. Same with that monitor... But seriosly, sounds like you have...
Hi all, I am trying to find a good tilt switch for a project I am working on. Surface mount would be nice but is not necessary. I do, however, need the...

lol, well I'll be sure to not combine two of those together in that case ;) On a serious note though, I still didn't get any feedback on the IC's? I have...
Texas Instruments does no longer offers samples for "common" ICs. Too many "hobby" people where asking for samples... Juan Cubillo ... From: Richard DeBellevue...
Hello Brett, ... I use ball-in-cage tilt sensors, the kind found in pinball machines. I am not certain of the operating angle, but it is greater than 45- ...
... Take a look at Tom Gray's tutorial on identifying the chips. Then, do a Google search against Solarbotics.net with the chip name. This should give you a...
... Hi, You can make your own tilt sensor with a couple of crimp on ring connectors and a small metal ball or ball bearing. Just make sure the inside of the...
