Component to VGA schematic??
Anyone know where i can find a schematic for a component to VGA adapter? A friend is looking to make one so he can use his ps3 on his monitor but says most of the store bought ones are quite expensive and have lots of extra features. We are both engineering majors...
One last question. I am assuming the power wire for the tail lights has quite a bit more current then the IC can handle. How do i step this down so i can power my circuit? I would like to have the power wire that goes to the lights both power my circuit and connect to the relay that powers the...
EDIT: Actually i found the source of my confusion...
To shorten my post i have decided to etch my own board using the toner method (assuming i can find a printer to use!)
Does anyone know of some easy to use (free) PCB CAD software for OSX?
Im currently using Pad2Pad which has proven pretty...
Some of you may have seen my thread where i am using 555 (more then likely a 556 instead)
to make a sequential tail light kit for my car. Its a pretty simple circuit that really only consists of the 556 chip, a few small caps, and a few resistors then the relays (currently using LEDs to get...
I realized the leds were reversed right after i uploaded the image. Aside from adding the resistors before the leds does everything else seem good? Also does the timing depend on the voltage supplied? Id hate to set it up on a 9v battery and then the timing be off when on the cars battery...
Would i only need the 500 ohm resistor if i were testing with a car battery? Id like to get it set up with a few AA batteries (i suppose i would need a 12v source so the timing would match that of the car?) running correctly before trying to integrate it into the actual tail lights.
Here is...
That looks like what i need. With the pots i can just replace them with resistors once i get the timing down correct? And to change the timing i just change the resistance? Will one of the pots need to be twice the value of the other to get the timing correct or will they remain equal?
Also...
Hmm, ill have to look into that as far as my car goes (07 mustang)
Some more googling revealed this diagram.
perhaps this would be better for my application? I am trying to keep it as cost effective as possible and i don't have much knowledge in electrical engineering (im mechanical)
also with...
as far as i know when the turn signal is applied the tail lights receive a pulse of power, where are the brake sends a constant power supply. If that is correct then i only need to set it up so that the time it takes for all three lights to turn on is <= the turn signal pulse so that it will...
Thanks, i have no idea what half of the stuff you mentioned means but ill start looking into it.
Also with the controller you can set it up so that once the light it turned on it won't turn back off until power is remover correct? These need to function when brakes are applied as well as turn...
50 view and no one has any input or guidance? I've googled 555 circuits and tried to find more info but apparently there is a LOT of things you can do with these
Im trying to design a circuit that will delay the turning on of a light.
I have three bulbs, one should turn on as soon as power is applied, the next should turn on in X amount of time after the first, and the final light should turn on in X amount of time after the second.
Basically like this...
