AI Thread Summary
The circuit board found in the old toy car is likely designed for low-cost electronics in remote-controlled (RC) vehicles. Without the corresponding remote control, the board is essentially unusable and considered electronic waste. For those interested in building an RC car, purchasing a complete kit with a manual and all necessary components is recommended. This approach ensures proper functionality and avoids the pitfalls of mismatched parts. Understanding the purpose of such circuit boards can aid in future electronics projects.

I found this circuit board in an old toy car. Does anyone know what it is for and how to use it?

Kind of obvious but looks like low cost electronics for remote controlled toy car.

Without the proper matching remote it's more or less just a piece of electronic waste.

If you wish to build an RC car, then you may consider to purchase a cheap kit, in proper condition, with a manual and every necessary piece included.
 

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...
