    Problems driving a large display with a transistor

    Well #1, you guessed right! I am 15, but the last post I made is a bad meter of my current skill level. I was younger and hadn't taken any electronics/physics courses yet. You are also correct in assuming that I don't have much circuit analysis experience. #2, on the problem, I re-wired the...

    Problems driving a large display with a transistor

    Background: I am building a giant clock with four, multiplexed, 7 segment displays. The problem is that the displays are five inches tall, each segment consists internally of 10 LEDs wired in series and then three chains of 10 are wired in parallel. The datasheet for this chip is here (PDF...

    Questions about EE in general (NOT HOMEWORK)

    Volts is the unit for measuring potential of electrical current above ground, so 1v is exactly 1 volt higher than ground. Therefore, is ground a constant? All ground is the same? So to get higher voltages you will be giving it more potential? Try to forget about absolute potential. In EE...

    Questions about EE in general (NOT HOMEWORK)

    Okay, first off, i am 14, i am in higher math, but i am not in physics or any other higher classes so there might be some stuff I need explained in terms that may seem pretty basic. I understand most of the basics about EE, at least I hope I have it right :p, and I still have a few questions...
