It's a pity that there is no 6CH option. I think 8CH will hardly be ever used by any applications. I am torn between 4CH and 8CH variants. For power electronics, 6CH would be great, but I am finding very hard to justify the extra 15K - 20K for 4 more channels. What are your thoughts, people? I need some second opinions.

If the energy output fluctuates with ac how can it run appliances that need a certain amount of voltage to operate?
@AddOhms12 күн бұрын
You are mis-using the term energy. Energy is a property and can be expressed in forms like light, heat, and electromagnetic waves (electricity). The voltage and current are what change and, for AC Mains, they change as a sine wave. The voltage changes because of how AC Generators work. The current changes because of Ohm's law. Older appliances worked directly with AC mains. They were mostly just inductive motors (which is how fans work) and resistive heaters. Anything that requires DC, uses an AC to DC converter.

Ok let me ask you this. I have a optocoupler with as a base a sensor that makes the led light up just great. On the transistor side I need a 24VDC signal with a logic 0 between 0 and 7.1 volt and a logic 1 between 9.7 and 28v. I get 23V and 22V that means that I need to pull down the signal when the circuit is open right? So I guess a 10KOhm resistor between the pin (emitter) and the GND would help to get the signal to below 7V? Please let me know if I understand this right.

A text on electricity that's over a century old said that, if I understood it, electrons don't actually flow at all in any direction, but that the "state" of the wire is changed.
@AddOhms20 күн бұрын
That doesn't make any sense. Electrons are always moving (except at Absolute Zero.) It has been well proven that electrons move in the direction of an electric field. We know they move because conductors get hot. The only way they can get hot is because something inside is moving.

@AddOhms3 ай бұрын
Neither has a “turn-on” voltage. They drop their dropout voltage, which is about 2 V. So they both need at least 7V in to guarantee 5V out. I don’t know where you’re getting your misinformation. There is no functional difference. In this case, LM and ML are the (original) vendor’s initials.

As for the TOV I'm not exactly sure where I found that but I guess that should be a minimum voltage and even that is different per the different spec's I've been looking at. Sorry if I sounded disrespectful, I wasn't trying to be. Also, the LM7805 seems to have a steady output voltage of 5v where the ML7805 has an output range from 4.8-5.2v, and the ML7805 has a higher maximum input voltage.

But can't pinpoint where the problem is with them.

The paste I was using had a print speed of 25-100 mm/sec. While I was probably going fast, I was still under 100 mm/sec. The two passes at two different angles-of-attack is not something I have heard before, nor did anyone suggest it in any of the livestreams where I printed paste. So, I'll give that a try next time I do it.

How aboit to add a AI VOC / VSC quad sensor array? You can pick up all volatile chemicals as well as any bacteria bacterial overgrowth and it is a really awesome sensor that can analyze the chemical nature of everything from different types of coffee to the presence of e coli. And other environmental potentially nasties that could be present in a lab like yours. BME688 gas sensor can detect Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and other gases such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the part per billion (ppb) range.

That’s a good idea. And something like the BME688 is probably the right option. Back when I did the initial design, VOC sensor options were terrible. I was on a short schedule when I brought this project back to life. But I wish I had looked into VOCs again. Guess there will have to be a rev4.

If the wire leading to the switch were somehow to get grounded, would the input show as on? I.E. same as if the the switch were closed?
@AddOhms5 ай бұрын
Yes. The voltage drop from the resistor side to ground is 5 volts, which is the point of the pull-up. Since the resistor is connected to effective open, the voltage relative to ground is the same on both of the resistor's terminals. For the second question, a wire connecting from that same point to the ground is exactly the same as the switch being closed.
