Anyone know how to ID the values of these caps? The markings are 1545(M)

I was probing voltages on the pins of the TVs Logic board (going to the Time-Control Board) and suddenly it came to life! The power supply did not sound healthy to me, but maybe I'm mistaken. I'm trying to get the video uploaded to listen to the sound it makes. After I power cycled the TV it...

I'm rusty at PicAxe Basic, Help please! My first picaxe project in 4 years! There is a syntax error on line 13 that is, well, driving me 'buggy' ;) init: symbol Motor =1 ;Rename port 1 to Motor symbol Counter=b0...

Here is a Diagram to show what I'm after:

The project I'm working on is to open and close a set of TVs mounted on a hinge. They are installed in a church stage, they fold against the wall when not in use and the actuators push them to face the audience when needed. (then pull back to the wall) I didn't realize that I needed speed...

1 pic = a KilloWord Sorry that the photo is confusing. I drew up a Schematic, let me know of any important information I have left out. 2 important details that I hope the schematic clears up: 1) I am using only 3 LEDs in series not 6 (series parallel - please see schematic) The idea here...

the Devil is in the details . . . Thank You all for your comments. Sorry I could not get back to the forum sooner, but I have the information you requested. I will reply to each comment. Power supply: 2.1Amp (poorly) regulated. (Has an IC chip for feedback regulation but see stats below to...

I acquired the BCX38C Darlington transistors used in the manual to power a bank of LEDs in series-parallel. (5V power supply) I couldn't get a satisfactory current to flow to LEDs with the already low value current limiting resistors. At first I though because of the duty cycle I was using in...

Sorry for the wordy Title. Target micro: Picaxe 08m2 I have an idea how I might be able to use 2 PicAxes in a surveillance application to immediately turn on/off the illumination circuit with the photo sensor input. I only wish the light to start when 2 factors are true: 1) when the camera is...

Hello all, I am working on a surveillance program with a PicAXE 08M. The controller will turn on a camera when it senses motion. After it times out (in 30 sec) it will turn the camera off, however if it senses motion during the 30 seconds, I want it to "re-trigger" the wait/pause back to 30...
