I can't understand this circuit board

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the difficulty in understanding the circuit board due to the lack of a circuit diagram, with members noting that it's just a collection of components. There is speculation about the function of the board, with suggestions that it may involve battery management and LED control, but its purpose remains unclear. The PR 9490 component is identified as likely being an infrared detector, raising questions about its potential use in applications like motion sensing or fire alarms. The presence of a USB connector adds to the confusion regarding the board's functionality. Overall, without more detailed information or markings, it's challenging to determine the exact purpose of the circuit board.

Since you have posted no circuit diagram, just a pic of some components, no one here is going to be able to figure it out either. It's a bunch of components, not a circuit, as far as we can see.
 
Some kind of cheap battery management and some kind of (likely cheap) LED control.
Can't even see the chip markings.
What's written on U1?

What does it do, is it a motion sensing light, or a fire alarm ?
Why does it have a USB connector ?

The PR 9490 component in the middle of the PCB looks like an infrared detector.
Does it have a multi-facetted lens in the outer case that is not shown ?
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
