    Using transistor to switch power on with a push button

    Thank you for the recommendation. I don't have a 2N3904, do you think it may work with a 2N2222?

    Using transistor to switch power on with a push button

    I am trying to turn on a Picaxe board and remain on until the program finishes executing. The problem is that with a single cell LIPO (4.2V fully charged), the output voltage of the transistor switch is 2.4V. I may be using the wrong transistors or trying to do the impossible.

    Using a single cell LIPO to power an 8M2 or 14M2

    I am planning to use an 8M2 or a 14M2 on a project to drive 8 UV LEDs. Considering using a 3.7V LIPO. What can I expect to happen when the voltage of the LIPO drops below 3V

    PWMOUT on C.0 and C.2 of a 14M2

    First, I want to thank you for all the input and recommendations. To answer some of the questions. The glow plugs are standard RC motor plugs. They glow without burning up with 1.2V to 1.7V and roughly 2A to 3 A The reason for using PWM is to be able to supply with a high capacity 3S LiPo on...

    UNABLE TO INSERT jpeg image or include an attachment on a new thread

    When I try to insert an image on a new thread, things work until I click UPLOAD then nothing happens. The same thing happens when I try to attach a file.

    PWMOUT on C.0 and C.2 of a 14M2

    I am trying to drive two glow plugs from a model airplane engine. Using a two MOSFETs (IRFZ44N) attached to C.0 and C.2 on a Picaxe 14M2. I connected the gate of the MOSFET to C.0 and added a 10K pull down resistor. The source connected to ground and the drain to one of the plugs terminals. the...

    Using PNP Transistors on a 7 segment display. am I doing it right?

    Yes, it worked when I used a UDN Darlington array to drive the digits with the circuit shown below In that case it was 3 digits. But on my current project is 4digits and I have a space restriction on the PCB. That is why I thought about using 4 transistors instead of an 18 pin IC.

    Using PNP Transistors on a 7 segment display. am I doing it right?

    Yes, the display is large and the segments are made with LED strips. In a previous version I used a ULN2803 to drive the digits (see schematic). In this one I am trying to reduce the size of the PCB using 4 transistors instead of the 18 Pin IC Darlington array.

    Using PNP Transistors on a 7 segment display. am I doing it right?

    I want to drive the Cathode of a four digit seven segment display (common cathode) using 4 PNP transistors. I would appreciate any comments telling me if my schematic is correct or not specially regarding the four transistors. Thank you in advance for any input. Andrés Rodríguez

    Using Datalink to display the value of a World variable

    I have built a dynamometer that measures RPM and torque. The value of the Torque is measured using strain gauges. The variable I need to display in datalink is the result of the product of the RPM and the ADC value from the strain gauge. My question is how do I send the value of the variable...
