Hi friend, I'm new to programming and I have a NodeMCU ESP8266 that I've never used, can I use it to make a coffee roaster like the one you made? If the answer is yes, will the programming be the same as the one you created?
@thecircuithelperАй бұрын
Should work fine, the programming will be largely the same, there are many examples for PID, PWM and temperature sensors for the ESP8266. I’m not sure the Arduino cloud works with the 8266, you’d have to check, but you could just send the sensor data and control signals via serial or WiFi to a computer. Thanks for watching!!

That is pretty cool! However, it definitely is far too limited. What do you think would be good enough for an AI that is decent at circuit analysis? Maybe just a large language model that is good at doing calculations like the one you asked + one that answers questions about circuits with great knowledge + generates accurate SPICE netlists? You think that would be a good one? Or would it need more features to be actually usable for decent circuit analysis (e.g. you can upload a circuit and it can analyze it)?
@thecircuithelper2 ай бұрын
Interesting questions… for AI to be truly useful it would need to do more than just analyse a circuit. As experienced electrical engineer can look at a circuit and intuitively know what it does and what’s critical. For example, looking at a real audio amplifier circuit there might be hundreds of components, most have a very minor impact on performance, an experienced engineer can recognise this and focus their analysis on the key parts of the circuit. An AI would need this level of intuition, if not it would simply calculate all the currents and voltages in all the components (i.e decoupling capacitors etc) and you’d be bombarded with information, most of which is not useful. AI might be better at creating circuit designs by adapting existing circuits. For example it could be trained on 100 different amplifier circuits and then you could provide a specific set of operating parameters and it would design an excellent circuit. It shouldn’t be too difficult to achieve this, but it would only ever be able to design circuits it had been trained on. I’m Generating spice netlists is useful, but it would be great if it could make a proper circuit diagram. I’ve tried a few times to get it to do this but it’s basically a joke… just gives a random collection of components stuck together!
@thebar60952 ай бұрын
@thecircuithelper That makes sense. I would think circuit analysis would be useful as well because AI essentially helps do calculations for non-experienced people with electronics. For example, someone who is learning electronics as a hobby can use AI to help them by asking it questions before it makes a circuit for their needs. The AI can maybe help them with calculations as well. I would assume the best AI for everyone would be one that can analyze and discuss a circuit (for beginners) and then create circuits based on parameters (for engineers). It would do this via netlists. As for the schematics, yes AI is notorious for being hard to develop for analyzing images. There is actually a subdivision of AI called Computer Vision which usually requires PhD and extensive experience needed to develop AI models that can analyze images and understand them. Generating images is a whole new world of difficulty as well, especially circuits. That's why making the AI generate accurate diagrams would be a lot heavier task than just netlists.

I think this is the wrong video, but the proportional gain is the ratio of a change in the output to a change in the input, while the proportional band gives the total range of the controlled output that can be produced within the controller’s 0% and 100% limits.

In the video it is quartz, but it doesn’t need to be. When using helium almost any dielectric material will do (normal glass, even the tube from a plastic pen 🤓). This isn’t the case with other gases, Argon is hotter, any glass or ceramic would be fine, maybe not plastic!
@Nitro5523 ай бұрын
Thank you ! 😊 I tried a zvs circuit with a flyback, positive inside and negative outside, and it broke the glass, then I tried like you with two rings of nickel around the glass tube, and it broke the glass too. I used argon and argon/co2 (80/20). The only thing that works is with a Tesla coil with positive inside the glass tube, but there is a lot of electric arc, that’s not a smooth flame. I can only drive my Tesla coil at 50khz. Do you have any advices ?
@thecircuithelper3 ай бұрын
You’ve a few things going against you there! The co2 addition massively increases temperature, you’d probably be fine if you just used argon. Also, the frequency of operation has an impact on temperature, the lower the better, but things compositions is likely to be the bigger factor in your case. Good luck!

yeah, it is advisable to have a pair of Zener diodes across the output of your power supply when playing with high voltage stuff to help reduce voltage spikes. naturally, Zener values higher than your operating voltage ( pointing towards each other in series and parallell with the output ) Back EMF travels far when voltage is high. The spike can still travel to ground and cause trouble if the power supply is not isolated with a transformer or something like that. sometimes just a transformer with a simple bridge rectifier is the best to use if you are sure your experiment can damage your equipment as it won´t take damage easy and even if it does you probably just need a new rectifier. play safe
@thecircuithelper5 ай бұрын

In the PlayStation there was like stupidly rare avalanche diodes that surely don’t exist anymore that was killed along with fuses and stuff. I had to convert the circuit to revive the power supply again by replacing the diodes with a suitable MOV instead and mount a fuse holder and new capacitor. Things sure can cause havoc when you least expect it. But my PlayStation been working perfectly since the incident I could not control

at a 30kv output, ur caps should be fine. Since they are all in series there isn't 30kv across every capacitor. Also thats definently not 30kv. And definently not 120kv at the final output. Seing as the spark was maybe 2cm or something, i would say its 20kv.Also, how did u brake ur PSU?
@thecircuithelper5 ай бұрын
I was more worried about the caps in the Marx bank, they charge in parallel ultimately reaching the DC input voltage (assuming it doesn’t fire before fully charging), so 30 kV would be an issue. You’re right though, output from the multiplier definitely doesn’t look like 30 kV, I’m guessing more like 10k… not sure what was going on with the scope, probe probably needs calibrating or maybe I nudged the dial and accidentally set it to x500 rather than x1k. No idea what happened to PSU, very weird, Marx bank fired and immediately the power went off (like I’d removed the mains). Wouldn’t turn back on, changed the 13A fuse in the lead and the 3A fuse in the PSU, still totally dead. Completely opened it up and couldn’t see anything obvious (no burnt components etc). There might be some other internal fuse I’ve missed, but tricky to know without the circuit diagram. If I had to guess, I’d say the Marx output directly to the psu ground terminal probably sent a sufficiently high current pulse to raise the voltage of the ground up, that’ll destroy most things unfortunately! Better to use a battery and a separate earth, but I didn’t fancy clipping the battery by hand and I don’t have a decent Earth in that lab, unfortunately! Thanks for watching!

@@thecircuithelper as i said i would use a voltage divider. Also Car ignition coils opperate at low-ish frequencyes, so unless the capacitance is very high, the impedance is huge(u can see this when people use MOTs as a power supply).

Voltage multipliers with small sized caps are routinely used in bug zappers. Unless they are "super-sized" they can't do any real harm. OTOH, a microwave power supply can kill you if you just look at it hard.
@thecircuithelper4 ай бұрын
The multiplier would hurt, but I guess such low current DC wouldn’t be a ‘show stopper’. I would not want to get zapped by the Marx generator though, caps are 1 nF and there’s 8 of them charged to somewhere between 10-20 kV, this gives 0.5 x (8nF)x (15k)^2) = 0.9J… in comparison a microwave oven cap has approx 2J of stored energy (assuming 1uF, 2kV), a defibrillator capacitor can be around 100J, an enormous amount of stored energy to release in a few microseconds! Of course the internal inductance limits how fast this energy can be delivered and the cheap caps used in the Marx here are pretty poor (although adding them in parallel helps)….
