I want to conduct pressure decay testing that will conduct a decay test lasting 10 mins and once the test has concluded transmit test result electronically to a saved storage location. Any advice?

I hate, hate, hate Magical Technology. That's the kind of technology that works without human intervention - until it doesn't. There's no way to tell it what to do. There are few things so rage-inducing than devices that have no manual controls. I am trying to connect my headset to my laptop -...

(Serious question here. I really do want to understand if - and possibly how - it's supposed to operate painlessly.)In the 20th century it was printers. In the 21st century it's Bluetooth devices. Every experience with Bluetooth is fraught with repeated failure that just pours gasoline onto a...

I am able to pair my Bluetooth speaker to my Raspberry Pi 4. I am able to select it as the current audio output by right clicking on the "speaker" icon, top left of desktop. Under "device profiles" the speaker's profile is shown as "High Fidelity Audio (A2DP Sink)". But when I play any media...

I often watch instructional YouTube videos on my tablet with Bluetooth headphones. The delay/latency in the audio often isn't so noticeable, but when I see someone using a hammer, or sandpaper, the delay between the visual of the hammer hit or sandpaper swipe and the audible "bam" or "swoosh" is...

My laptop is running Ubuntu 20.04, always up-to-date. This problem has started very recently. Suppose I connect my Bluetooth earphone to the PC, and start watching some lectures on YouTube. (Internet is provided by USB tethering from Android phone.) Suddenly, the audio on the earphone stops. On...

My dad has been asking about some speakers for his boat, something that will move a bit of air, not too big though. I'm thinking 1x12. He also wants it bluetooth and powered externally, so it doesn't drain the boat battery. So I'm thinking 1x12 speaker in a small box that can fit inside the...

Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspberry OS... Recently did apt-get update and upgrade. It did an upgrade of the desktop after asking for permission to replace the file piwiz.desktop. It then ran a wizard to redo various options and preferences, including WiFi and password (which I had set up initially on...

Hello, I have a guitar amplifier I'd like to convert into a bluetooth device. Using it's current power supply and allow it to receive a bluetooth input. I have a bluetooth speaker that I took the electrics from. The bluetooth speaker is digital, but when it outputs to the speaker it's an...

A friend from work bought this product for his motorcycle. It's a couple of speakers with a Bluetooth controller. The controller will adjust volume and allow the user to toggle through tracks playing on their phone. The cord was too short. So he asked if I could make it longer. Sure thing...

Hello guys, I am a little intrigued with TI's (Texas Instrument) line of products, especially the Bluetooth Low Energy chips that they have. I am working on a project (personal, not school) and all I need to do is program a TI CC2540 or CC2541 to control a basic DC motor (eventually, from an...

I want to upgrade my phone, but I'm not sure if it's worth the money. My main question is, does the processor speed make that much of a difference between my current phone (Samsung Galaxy Proclaim- 1GHz) and the new one (ZTE Majesty- 1.2 GHz)? Is it worth the switch? Both phones are from...

After some research it seems that C would be the best choice. But I also hear that it is better to learn C++ first, then transition to C. I am at the beginning of my college career so am not sure where I want to end up in EE, although I have started a list of projects that I can do in the...

Hi, In very simple terms am I correct in thinking that bluetooth uses FHSS during signal transmission which involves changing of the carrier frequency at set intervals, essentially allowing the signal to change channels within the 2.4GHz band? Thanks

hi i want to to create a small robot controlled by Bluetooth of cell phone but i wondered about how the robot can receive this signal ? what is the technique i should use in my tiny robot so i can control it ?

at what radius can you send peer-to-peer text messages / SMS over "ham radio"? suppose we have lots of people concentrated in a small area, like a college campus. Maybe a mile or so in diameter. We would like to set up a packet switched peer-to-peer SMS transmission using low cost long wave...

Need to Build Two Circuits That "Sense" Proximity To Eachother Hi all, I am trying to build two circuits as part of an experiment that can "sense" proximity to one another. So basically, as they the two circuits get physically closer to each other (starting at a range of maybe 10-20ft), an...

Is there any necessity at all to come up with one united standard? This is what I'm thinking: come up with a single standard, but with 3 mode: Wireless Cable mode: up to 1.5 meter, minimize the power consumption and radiation while providing excellent speed. PAN mode: with a maximum range...

What do they communicate by? As in, do I need a bluetooth adaptor or will a b/g/n wireless adapter do? Also, do these things need proprietary drivers or will they work out of the box with Linux(Kubuntu)? The keyboard: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VAGXZC/?tag=pfamazon01-20 Thanks for your time.

I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to make a simple switch that toggles between two different RCA audio inputs. I can do it easily with a physical switch but how can I do it remotely. Either from a remote or from my cell phone (so either IR, Bluetooth, or WiFi). I'd prefer using my...
