Alright guys, I need help with my lab report suggestions. The problem is that I made a linear Voltage controlled frequency generator and am getting a 'ramping' effect on my integrator circuit. Do you guys know how i can possibly solve this? The output i should be getting is perfect square and triangle waves. pic related.

Hey /diy/, I'm trying to turn one of my rooms into an infinity room like the one by Yayoi Kusama (see image). So far, I'm thinking of making the mirrors from mylar stretched over wooden frames, and getting a few hundred LED's for the lights. I don't have firsthand experience with either of these things, so I wanted to see if anyone might know of better alternatives.

LEDs come in strips now. The easiest thing to do is to buy Ikea LED strips, set them to change colors and run them around the perimeter of the ceiling.
As for mirrors, mirrored walls use to be a big thing. You could probably still buy them from any company that specializes in wall coverings. It's going to be expensive though. Any mirror you make will not be of good quality, and the 'infinite effect' is ruined by shitty quality mirrors. If a mirror has even a slight green hue, about 10 reflections in will be 80% green, and stop reflecting. My suggestion is that you test the quality of the mirror before you buy anything for what I just typed.
>>
>>905858
Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely go with the led strips. That's what I feared with the mirrors though. I already ordered some mylar, so I guess I'll make small test box to see how well it reflects. If it ends up being bad, I guess I'll just have to save for decent mirrors.

applying mirrors on the wall is actually quite doable: just buy mirror tiles and apply like any other tile. or get the self-adhesive ones.

How fix an old keyboard?

I have an old keyboard Compaq SK-2800C and the key "Ctrl" don't work.

Months ago, the keys "B", "N" and "Space" don't work neither, but when I opened the keyboard, in the membranes I saw a grey line with places where that shit grey are missing:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Inside_Computer_keyboard.jpg

That places was black instead grey.
I fix the problem putting a tight line of foil in that grey lines of circuits into the keyboard to complet the conection, and works, that keys now are working good.

I tried the same shit looking the lines connected with the key "Ctrl", but nothing, I can't see it a part missing of that grey line.

Help.

>b4 buy a new keyboard.

C'mon guys, is just a key.

please give me links to what gate I should use

>>904896
say you have an ic like 4081
has 4 and gates in it
connect pin 7 to 0v
pin 14 to 5v

use 1 & 2 as inputs and 3 as output
or
use 5 & 6 as inputs and 4 as output
or
use 8 & 9 as inputs and 10 as output
or
use 13 & 12 as inputs and 11 as output

They look like this inside.

AND gate packages are more expensive then NANA packages, so figure modify your circuit to work with NAND gates or less preferably use an inverter package as well.

Is £200 a good price for 3 small bits of stripboard?

There's 49 sold so I guess it must be right? Either that or I've stumbled on a money laundering operation.

Problem could be power button, but bridging the on switch with a paperclip doesn't do the job either.

I've taken out each piece and tested them with a working system. I don't believe that it's a connection problem because the computer worked fine for about 6 months before it stopped working abruptly.

HDD motor.png

So I finaly found a use for an old HDD-Motor I salvaged once. Now I need to actually drive it. Of course I could buy an ESC to do the job, but at that point I could also just buy a propper RC motor.
So I still got the curcuit board of the HDD and found the driver.
Its http://www.littlediode.com/datasheets/pdf/Datasheets-L62/L6232B.PDF
My aproach would be disconnecting the LIN Vref and/or PWM Vref pin/s while leaving everything else connected and inputting my own speed via either voltage or PWM.
Do you see anything obviously wrong with that?

Upon closer Inspection it seems like 6 pins are used for commutation and thereby control the speed. Those 6 pins are connected to a WD61C12-WM which seems to do more than just controling the motor speed. Guess I hit a dead end here.
Any easier ways to drive an HDD motor?
>>
>>902044
>The commutation sequence is provided by the user via six inputs
In other words, you would need a microcontroller to cycle the IN pins to make the motor spin.

Something like the following does the commutation sequence automatically:

There are Chinese boards based on that or similar parts:
