If it helps, the circuit set up is similar to this except in place of LEDs there is an inverter attached to the cathode tube. As stated earlier, that works but poorly. The 12 V is supplied by a modified computer power supply that acts as a bench top power unit, so the dc voltage being used...

Hello, I am currently working on a music reactive light system with LEDs, but due to the low amount of light produced by the LEDs I was hoping to incorporate cathode tubes commonly found in desktop computers. I tried amplifying the signal from my mp3 player where the base current was produced...

Wow thank you for the diagram and everything. I still have a lot of reading and experimentation to do with the microcontroller before I get it working, but if I manage to get it up and running I will post a parts list, code, and a clip of it so anyone interested in the concept can have an easier...

"Do you want all LEDs to be the same colour at the same time, or do you want each to be controlled individually with random colours?" Well I was hoping that all of the LEDs would project the same color at the same time, but I plan to have three or four separate panels of LEDs displaced...

Would you recommend any particular tutorials to learn this? Additionally what materials would you presume I would need to both learn and accomplish this project?

Hello, I'm very new to designing and building electronics involving anything outside of simple Transistors, resistors, capacitors, and diodes. I have a fair amount of experience with the parts previously listed and they may be the only parts I need for the task I am currently requested aid in...

http://www.overclock.net/faqs/112445-how-make-80-watt-peltier-beverage.html I acctually found this link to an older forum post that addresses the creation of a peltier beverage cooler. I understand that he didn't appropriatly account for condensation from operating below the due point, but...

I understand that it is pertinent to protect the peltier cooler from condensation if I am running it below the dew point, but how would you suggest I seal it. The reason I chose to use peltier coolers for this project specifically is due to the fact I already have some laying around, so I was...

Hi, I'm new here so I apologize if my question isn't composed appropriately. I’m currently designing water cooling unit, which is a component of a larger project, that utilizes peltier plates as a heat pump to displace the energy from the water. To cool the peltier plates themselves I...
