Go to a nearest electronic shop in your city, take your circuit sheet with you, ask the shopper.

whats up with the arduino? what can you do with it?
the raspbi is chill but i have no idea whats going on in your neck of the woods.

>>582939448
It depends.
Sometimes it appears clients asking for simple projects that took 1 or 2 days to finish, it can be 2 or 3 per month.

But there were two projects that took me more than 3 months to project. It was around $150.000.

I need a NO relay that operates on 12VDC, switches 120VAC, and has both a multi-hour delay before closing and a multi-hour delay before reopening.

A 0.90μF capacitor is connected across an AC generator that produces a peak voltage of 13V .

Part A
What is the peak current to and from the capacitor if the emf frequency is 100 Hz?

Part B:
What is the peak current to and from the capacitor if the emf frequency is 100 kHz?

>>582939667

It's sort of like going from the time domain to a frequency domain. Can make convolution super easy, and is a nice way to analyze a circuit if you want to know how it will react to different frequencies.

Is it more power efficient running higher threshold transistors at higher voltage or lower threshold transistors at lower voltage?

>>582941905
If it's more cost effective and still an efficient way to do it, why not? Getting a multihour timer might be difficult to find, but it would be easy to implement in software on a microcontroller

So where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Let me think...

Xc = 1 / 2*pi*F*C
Xc = 1 / 1769,26

Imax = V/Xc
Imax = 13/1769,26 = 7,34.10^-3 = 7,34 mA

Now you can do Part B

Clearly the four years I spent in large rooms while old people with expensive degrees talked at me and I pretended to write things down makes me more than able to google how to do anything you ask of me.

>>582941737
Well, if so, you have some calculators to help you.

>>582943689
Replacing the fuse is pretty much all you can do in any consumer electronics nowadays. Try that and if it still doesn't work, it's probably garbage.

Of course, now the question is whether IR or ultrasonic is better for this application.

>>582945007
Bigger capacitors hold more charge. Some capacitors are polar and you can only put voltage through one way without things going wrong.

>>582943706
Yeah, if you want to build a robot and something that no one cares, yes.

In my 3rd year of college I built an analog circuit called VUMeter, it detects sounds and varies the voltage and then it lights up some leds depending on sounds volume. Nobody gaves a single fuck.

I work with ultrasound and no one seems to know that you can use capacitors to balance out the waveform (make them form tighter together).. instead of using expensive pieces to do the same shit. (fired a few of my hardware R&D members for this)

To be honest, at the first moment I wanted to be a pilot.

>>582938693
why are transistors so important? i looked at a few AND and OR gate schematics but i dont get what it does. You could make a much simpler looking logic gate without a transistor. But im guessing the fact that it retains charge is important.

>>582945007
Yes, I think.
Tell them that not the most expensive parts are the best one to use in a circuit.

>>582945219
nothing wrong, I just liked it.

>>582946267
You can make transistors really small.
That's really the only reason we use them instead of, say, vacuum tubes. (that and they don't shatter when you drop them)

>>582946267
When I started building sources for my guitar pedals, I always wondered: how can I allow more current to pass with this LM78XX (it only passes 1A). And then transistor came with the answer.
If you put a transistor, you will keep the original voltage and it allows it to pass more than 1A through the transistor.

>>582946267
Also, transistors are cheaper, lighter, smaller and more effective than vacuum tubes/valve.

But if you look on the musician (guitarists) side, they prefer using vacuum tubes than transistors inside their amplifier.

Get a Masters. Obviously if you can get any sort of scholarship that would be nice, whether it be full or partial, but if you can afford it it'd be beneficial in the long run for sure. Especially if you're like me and still didn't really know what I wanted to do after undergrad.

>>582948597

The problem goes like this.

You can do this with two digital time delay relays. But those cost $40-50 ea new.

A very simple PLC can do this, but costs $80-140. However it comes with a case and runs off AC.

I'd try buying a used PLC off ebay and learning how to dick with it. It's a valuable skill some places.
