    Traps for young players

    Use the MCP1702 regulator instead of 78L05. Quiescent current Iqo is 2 uA and under 20 uA at consumption of 20 mA. Drop-out is 650 mV at 250 mA (at 20 mA it will be under 50 mV).Or use MCP1802 with shutdown function and max. 0.1 uA.

    Maximum time delay of PICAXE-08 ?

    ; wait for years ,days, hours ; if you dont want constants, use #symbol instead: #DEFINE years 1 #DEFINE days 10 #DEFINE hours 6 Main: for w0 = 1 to years gosub year_pause next for w0=1 to days gosub day_pause next for w0=1 to hours gosub hour_pause next stop year_pause: for...

    Polarity Detection

    If you need to distinguish the polarity in a “traditional” DC control, try the modified westaust55 design scheme.

    Voltages MORE than 5 Volts to be measured into Analog inputs?

    Another option is to drop the 48V input voltage by a constant value. The circuit on the picture reduces the input voltage by 45V. Then, ADC voltage will be 0..5V at 45..50V input. The readAdc/readAdc10 command provides a 20mV/5mV resolution. Another ADC input would be used to measure large...

    Can the 14m2 directly control a latching relay with a 5V 20ma coil?

    Picaxe itself cannot reliably switch this relay model in a capacitor design. Excessive voltage drop on the output pin will provides for the relay only 5V * 250Ω / (250Ω + 90Ω) = 3.7V. Even when 3.7V is near minimum 3.75, the relay have to be at this voltage for min.10ms. But in...

    Can the 14m2 directly control a latching relay with a 5V 20ma coil?

    Diodes are in the internal structure of the picaxe output pin

    Detect triggered polyswitch/resettable fuse

    Simplification phase 3: ------------------------- (A) Since we have the switching power supply with 3 outputs: 3.3V / 5V / 12V, we have to find such power supply module that contains other required properties and behavior: The module diagram is in figure 4. Switching Power Supply...

    Detect triggered polyswitch/resettable fuse

    Simplification phase 2: ------------------------- (A) We can use a switching power supply with 3 outputs: 3.3V / 5V / 12V instead of power supply 230V AC / 12V DC and two DC/DC converters. (B) The second change is to replace the fuses with the MIC2544/48 (Hi-side switches with current limiter...

    Detect triggered polyswitch/resettable fuse

    Hi Rav, Your proposed version in #24 don't contain errors, that were in the previous one. But it seems still too complicated. In the following, I am introducing a simplification of the Power supply module. Three different levels. It's just my insight - it may not be the only one nor the best...

    Please help an old fart - Rallye Tripmeter

    (7) Adjustable calibration constant: Here is the example of the simple adjustment of the calibration constant, incorporated to your sample code, published in #1. It use three buttons: one to select the calibration mode and next two to the value increment/decrement. CODE in attachment: Note...

    Please help an old fart - Rallye Tripmeter

    First of all, if I misunderstood your project: (1) Is the OLED display part of your Rallye Meter, or is intended for testing and the main display means are electromechanical counters? (2) As you stated "This project is a Rallye Meter - with several electromechanical counters (10m)." Q: How and...
