The Adviser is one of the college's Physics professors, and our school does not have very many professors with electrical backgrounds. We are meeting next week with two of our electrical engineering professors, and are looking to arrange meetings with various electricians with and without...

I put L2 to potentially power it with the second outlet plug, but that was with hesitation. I will absolutely look at the ground being carried to the launcher, and any other routes it may need to take prior or after. I will also be sure to talk with a licensed electrician about all aspects of...

Thank you. The absolute minimum is for the goal you stated. We would also like to make sure by pressing the button (for supplying power), the timer for X does not restart. Another goal is to leave open a door for additional features if time allows. We have talked about introducing a motion...

Thank you for the reply. To be clear on the schematic, I am not sure of proper notations/design. I hope to come away knowing exactly how to correctly draw a schematic though. I did a rough mock up, but it likely does not give an accurate representation, and I know it excludes many details I have...

Hello everyone! I am new to the site, but hope to become a long time member. I have always had an interest in all of the S.T.E.M. fields, but my deep interest is in electrical engineering. I have not learned much at all yet, but I hope to really transform myself, in that regard, over the next...

<< Mentor Note -- Please read to the end of this thread -- important information about AC Mains connected projects is discussed >>[/color] Hello everyone, I am an electrical engineering student (though in the very beginner stage of it), and I could really use some help with understanding...
