$38.37 (considering you have a soldering iron) and don't mind doing some coding, I'd estimate it would take 20 minutes at most if your not putting much detail into it.

u/MyrddinWyllt · 19 pointsr/amateurradio

If the operator is a licensed ham and his station is in good operating order, there's not much you can do. All of your electronics have those labels on them stating that they are FCC Part 15 compliant - this means they must not create interference to a licensed device, and must accept interference form a licensed device. The law actually protects him, not the other way around.

There are ways to reduce the interference accepted by devices. Ferrite chokes are a common place to start. Wrap the leads on your speakers a few times through snap on ferrite cores (like these ). You'll also want to wrap a zip tie around the core, they snap on parts will loosen over time and the tiniest, tiniest gap renders them ineffective.

I have a link bomb of RFI prevention, along with some grounding things. That might have some helpful information for you. It generally comes down to applying lots of the proper ferrite all over.

The ham might be willing to help you correct the issue if you approach him cordially. Just nicely explain the situation. We may also be able to help some here.

Yep, that's the jist of it.

  • The Current Transformers can be these as long as they fit around your mains cables in your breaker box: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075541WVT
    (And you'd have to cut off the connectors since the board has screw terminals)

  • The AC Transformer for measuring voltage, and powering the board and ESP32: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B886CWS

  • This ESP32 (or ESP8266) will work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0718T232Z Yeah, it's like a Ras Pi, but smaller. Can be programmed with the Arduino IDE.

  • Jumper wires with Dupont connectors to connect the two boards.

  • Software from my GitHub to load on the ESP32 to link everything together: https://github.com/jdeglavina/EmonESP and https://github.com/jdeglavina/ATM90E32_Arduino

  • EmonCMS has their own servers that you can send data to. It looks like they just started charging a small fee per feed for this though: https://emoncms.org/ You can host the software locally if you know how to setup a web server (or rent one from a host for cheap)

    Honestly, the hardest part is calibrating the transformers with the board. You need something to measure against, like a hair dryer and a kill-a-watt. Then there's some math and changing some values in the main program. After some time I will probably have some baseline calibrations for various CTs.

https://www.amazon.com/Ferrite-Noise-Filter-Cable-3-5mm/dp/B01N0AV746/

Put one of these on each end of your USB and speaker wires. Your wiring is acting like an antenna and picking up his transmission. Ferrite beads/chokes will help filter that out.

u/HPPD2 · 5 pointsr/synthesizers

Yes. With shipping it's $172. And you will probably want a US power adapter.

Still worth it. It's tiny but well spaced and usable. I've had an original bassbot and x0xb0x and would take this over them any day. Pots a bit flimsy but otherwise still built better than many others twice as expensive. I think I prefer it without the sequencer- less space and I have an engine that can work like a 303 seq.

Was considering saving for an avalon but I really don't like 303 sounds that much so this is a good way to get it without taking up space/$. Most of the analog 303 clones sound good enough to me so no complaints about sound.

you can mod them too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSebDXf9rP4

u/Elgand · 5 pointsr/Vive

I spent a good while in /r/vive before receiving my Vive. One of the suggestions that was made regarding the lighthouses and jitter was ferrite beads.

I am in a metropolitan area, but more importantly my subwoofer used to play what sounded like a radio station when it was not being used by my receiver. This lead me to believe that ferrite beads were a good investment for my lighthouses(to mitigate interference there). I bought this pack -

Ferrite Beads

I used about 4 of the ferrite beads on the subwoofer and it is no longer audible when the receiver isn't using it. I placed two ferrite beads on the power cords for each Lighthouse and have had nothing but good experiences with my Vive. Although I haven't tried without the beads, I experience no jitter.

I wouldn't have given this suggestion much thought if it wasn't for the fact that a Valve engineer actually responded and seemed to agree that RF can interfere with the lighthouses.

This is the thread I am referring to -

u/reddit_is_filth · 3 pointsr/hometheater

He said his were 6Ω speakers. He was thinking of getting 2Ω resistors.

I'm a little out of the loop, but I thought 2Ω speakers were more prominent in car audio.

Anyway, assuming a 24V audio signal;
8Ω speakers = 3A draw = 72W per speaker max
6Ω speakers = 4A draw = 96W per speaker max

He's running at around 130% of max rated output on that channel, before we even get to adding in the center and the satellites.

That's all just napkin math, so it's not precise.

-----

OP, you only got so many choices here:

  1. Get your 2Ω/100W resistors. You'll need to mount them to a heat sink and apply external cooling. It's a hassle, yeah, and it'll be ugly, but it's by far the cheapest and easiest solution at less than ten bucks apiece from Digikey or Amazon.

  2. Get an amp that will drive those 6Ω speakers properly. Make sure it's compatible with your head unit!

  3. Get the right speakers.
u/Banjerpickin · 3 pointsr/diypedals

u/midwayfair mostly beat me to it.

You can get an assortment of topmany film box caps that will cover most of your foreseeable future needs for $15 from Smallbear.

You can also get an assortment of electrolytic caps from smallbear for $10.

[You can get a huge set of metal resistors with almost every value you'll ever need here for $10, marked with their value which is nice for initial sorting.]
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J5M2G9Q?psc=1)

Wiring in parallel or series you can get to almost any value you'll need with those three purchases for $35. Not bad, right?

As for transistors/diodes/IC's, that's much more dependent on what you're building. A good rule of thumb there is every time you need 1, order 5. You'll have a nice selection (and empty wallet) in no time. Most would agree that Smallbear is the place to source those kind of "specialty" parts to make sure you get high quality/official/tested stuff. Mammoth is my personal second favorite. Tayda would be third, great prices but I've gotten some weird less-than-official looking stuff from them that doesn't always sound the same as their Smallbear counterpart.

Resistors are just components but you use them all the time so it's good to have a supply of them.

u/Khanaset · 3 pointsr/pcmasterrace

DisplayPort cables are extremely sensitive to EMF, and switching a light on and off causes a spike. If the cable isn't well shielded enough, this can happen. Try picking up a ferrite ring (you don't need 15, and these might not be the right diameter for your cable, but something like: https://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Magnetic-Ferrite-Suppressor-diameter/dp/B00MFCD56C ) and clamping it onto the DP cable and see if that helps.

u/jephthai · 3 pointsr/amateurradio

I have a bunch of these on hand from some other projects... will they work as well?

It's not normal speaker wire, I'm using these (supposedly shielded) instrument cables, running to powered studio monitors. Will that work with the ferrite rods?

u/ikilledtupac · 3 pointsr/CarAV

> Unfortunately the biggest issue is the Bose sound system runs on a 2ohm Independence for their speakers making an aftermarket upgrade next to impossible.

no so! My Infiniti is all Bose and is the same way. If the stereo doesn't see a 2ohm load when I start the car, it errors out. Just wire in a 2 ohm resistor before your line output converter, then the amp will always see a 2ohm load regardless.

I used this:

https://www.amazon.com/Chassis-Mounted-Aluminum-Wirewound-Resistor/dp/B008MLKDN8/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1503073409&sr=8-6&keywords=2ohm+resistor

and the the usual hi/lo line output converter. In my case I ran it to a Zapco monoblock and a JL sub, but you can use whatever.

Here's the explanation from AudioControl


http://www.audiocontrol.com/knowledge-base/everything-hooked-powered-music-playing-no-audio/

Now if you are trying to run component speakers, just get the 4 ohm speaker, and wire in a 4 ohm resistor in parallel. Some companies even do it on the speaker itself, so you just take a 4 ohm resistor, and connect the positive to positive, negative to negative, on the speaker terminals, then connect your wire as usual. The resistors are like 25 cents, and the amp will see a 2ohm load and you c an use whatever speakers you want.

u/True_3xile · 2 pointsr/Multicopter

I see this happen with my quads when I get voltage spikes. The caps should get rid of that.

Something like this. You can solder it right onto the battery lead. A friend of mine gets a cap holder from brain 3d and it holds it next to the xt60. I've put leads on mine and ran it under the arm or somewhere convenient for the frame.

Yes those will work fine, but you can use a much cheaper tool for the screwdriver, they make little plastic ones called tweakers designed just for rotating small pots.

This is an AC to AC adapter, but can’t guarantee the plug fit. You may need to do some surgery. If you aren’t comfortable doing that, I’ll keep looking for more of a “universal” option.

If you had the original and could post a photo of the label, it’d help a lot.

You have to solder a resistor to the R14 jumper on the back of the pcb. I used a 100 ohm size 0603 resistor from this pack and these leds from Adafruit.

u/abqnm666 · 2 pointsr/Ring

If you do not have doorbell chimes, you must use a resistor to simulate the wiring that would be in the mechanical chime. And you'd need a resistor on one of the wires for each doorbell. Also, running two of them off a tiny 10VA transformer probably won't work very well. It may, but you may have problems with slow/no charging also. But the resistor not being there will prevent it from charging entirely. Also, don't press the button or it could fry the other Ring since they're both attached without the resistors.

https://www.amazon.com/Cutequeen-Aluminum-Wirewound-Chassis-Resistor/dp/B06XQWJ4JP/

That's a 2-pack of compatible resistors. Since you're operating two in parallel off one transformer, you'll want to picture the wire nuts as your connection to the transformer, as it relates to the image on Ring's site. So the resistor will go on the red wire between the wire nut and the station wire, not between the wire nut and the transformer.

u/AlbinoSheepDawg · 2 pointsr/originalxbox

So I literally had to do the same thing to my MTN Dew with the same three caps. For caps, I used these. what I did was used a solder sucker, my iron and flux to remove what solder I could from the cap legs and removed the caps. Then just plopped in the replacement caps, cut down their legs and soldered them back.

My strategy was to remove what solder I could, but not focus on removing all of it as that was difficult. Just remove what you can and heat up the solder as needed when playing the new caps in.

If you need any assistance with the project, let me know and I'll do what I can.

This.. I have really been enjoying look mum's cem 3340 tutorial:

I would strongly suggest getting a resistor and capacitor kit off ebay or amazon.. They're like 15$-20$ each. That will get you a few of a huge range of resistors and caps:

The worst part of these projects is waiting for parts. So Building up a little surplus of this kind of stuff will make your wait time much lower..

Actually, I was an idiot. Just search for "9V transformer" rather than "power adapter," that cuts through a lot of the noise. First hit on Amazon:

u/Joehsmash · 2 pointsr/appliancerepair

Input ( from the wall ) is 120v A/C (typical main voltage in North America) @200ma (mili amps) ( your typical plug at home give you 15 amps, 15,000 ma)
Out put ( to the device ) is 12v A/C. Requiring 1000 ma, or 1 amp.

Your adapter is a step down transformer, transforming the voltage down and the amperage up.


What your looking for is a 120v ac- 12v ac adapter

This should be sufficient

u/Coda_effects · 2 pointsr/diypedals

It is a good idea to do that with resistors. Here isa nice super cheap pack that will have most of the values you'll ever need for pedal building. They are perfectly fine resistors that will fit any builds of yours. I measured several ones and they were OK.

I would not recommend it for capacitors though because this kind of packs are usually (really) low quality parts. Can be nice for prototyping though.

u/robot_mower_guy · 1 pointr/hardwarehacking

That sounds about right. Even if it ends up not working out I would recommend you try anyway because your next project could be a success.

This will most likely also require soldering experience. I suggest you get a pack of crappy plated perf boards and a big pack of resistors and just spend an hour or two doing nothing but soldering.

The physical assembly steps could be interesting to live stream, but be careful because a lot of people will start making suggestions that may or may not be good that you would be better off ignoring.

I do stuff like this professionally, so if you have questions that aren't getting answered (or don't want to post something publicly) feel free to PM me.

Description|In this video, we show how we created the NFL's 40-yard dash speed test that is used by scouts to evaluate the speed of potential American football prospects. To recreate the test, we used a Raspberry Pi, phototransistors, laser diodes, resistors, a analog-to-digital converter, and a simple Python stopwatch program. Using these materials, we created two laser tripwires separated by 40 yards. One tripwire starts the stopwatch, and the other stops the stopwatch. ⤶⤶For more information on the code and our wiring setup, visit our github repository: https://github.com/chris-gong/forty-yard-dash-rpi⤶⤶Thanks again to our friends for helping us out: Alex, Taylor, Ethan, Zach, and Grant⤶⤶Join our discord: https://discord.gg/2xbR5qT⤶Support us on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/flopperam⤶⤶Social media links:⤶Twitter: https://twitter.com/Flopperam⤶Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/flopperam/⤶Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flopperam⤶Alex's Twitter: https://twitter.com/uhFakie⤶⤶Materials Used:⤶Raspberry Pi: https://www.amazon.com/ELEMENT-Element14-Raspberry-Pi-Motherboard/dp/B07BDR5PDW/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=raspberry+pi&qid=1565404835&s=gateway&sr=8-4⤶Phototransistors: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Phototransistor-Photosensitive-Sensitive-Sensors/dp/B00M1PMHO4/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=phototransistor&qid=1565404855&s=gateway&sr=8-2⤶Laser diodes: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-10pcs-650nm-Diode-Laser/dp/B071FT9HSV/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=laser+diode&qid=1565404876&s=gateway&sr=8-3⤶Breadboards: https://www.amazon.com/Breadboards-Solderless-Breadboard-Distribution-Connecting/dp/B07DL13RZH/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=breadboard&qid=1565404905&s=gateway&sr=8-3⤶Battery holders: https://www.amazon.com/LAMPVPATH-Battery-Holder-Bundle-Single/dp/B07BNMKNQX/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=battery+holder&qid=1565405063&s=gateway&sr=8-5⤶Analog-to-Digital converter: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Converter-Programmable-Amplifier-Development/dp/B01DLHKMO2/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=raspberry+pi+adc&qid=1565405226&s=gateway&sr=8-3⤶Breadboard wires: https://www.amazon.com/EDGELEC-Breadboard-Optional-Assorted-Multicolored/dp/B07GD2BWPY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=breadboard+wires&qid=1565404930&s=gateway&sr=8-3⤶10k ohm resistors: https://www.amazon.com/Projects-100EP51210K0-10k-Resistors-Pack/dp/B0185FIOTA/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=10k+ohm+resistors&qid=1565404944&s=gateway&sr=8-3⤶⤶Music Creds⤶Song: Royalty Free Music | Victory - Hip Hop Beat | No Copyright Instrumental⤶Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D-LoMTbvx4⤶Music & Arrangement: Marjan Gjorgjievski⤶Mix & Mastering: Marjan Gjorgjievski⤶⤶Song: Lakey Inspired - Blossom⤶Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7ArnZl_zBU⤶Follow the artist, Lakey Inspired:⤶https://www.facebook.com/LAKEYINSPIRED⤶https://soundcloud.com/lakeyinspired⤶http://instagram.com/lakeyinspired⤶⤶#nfl #40yarddash #raspberrypi

It's the big starting capacitor, inside the box with the fan. Something like this, but obviously get one that matches what's in there already. Mine has three contacts like the link, but some can have only two. Check around locally to see if someone has the one you need, to get it faster.

u/Im-an-ME · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

So I recently went through this with an ecobee. Actually two ecobees and I wired in two zone valves. So I racked my brain when it came to this.

In your case your setup looks like it's like my basement. Just the red and white wires. Like others were saying, you need a common wire. Now you might be able to find this at your furnace/boiler depending on what type of heating you have. I only have a boiler and the red and white wires went to TT terminals on my aquastat on my boiler. So no C wire.

So for my basement I bought a 24VAC transformer. [This one.] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3ALUBS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf)

I happened to have some wire that I was able to use but you can always buy some two conductor wire. Or you can just buy some thermostat wire and know you are using the right stuff. Connect one end of the wire to the two positive terminals on the transformer. Run the wire to the closest plug. You may need to pull the wire through the wall. Mine was on the unfinished side of my basement so I didn't have an issue running the wire.

Run the other end to your thermostat. One of the wires will go on the C terminal and the other will go on the Rc terminal. This would normally control your air conditioning if you had it.

Not sure if you need to change any settings in the actual thermostat but you should be good after that. Feel free to PM me with any questions.

u/CookVegasTN · 1 pointr/Ring

You should have a wire wound resistor inline to protect the transformer from frying. Or wire the power kit inline in bypass mode to provide a self resetting fuse. Obviously something is shorting out the transformer. Pushing the button will do that and with no load, could damage the internals of the pro as well.

As the proximity to the socket and size difference of the posted cap may cause issues (8mm x 15mm this value is from the data sheet given on the link, not the description vs 6.3mm x 9mm this is more likely than the given 6x9 as that's the only size I found on aliexpress).

NOTE: I don't know what the code on the top is, I'm assuming production code (date / line / batch kind of info).

As a cost saving measure, if you need enclosures on the cheap you can get electrical boxes like this one for less than half the price of a Hammond box. Available online and at pretty much every big box home store anywhere. Not pretty but they'll take some abuse.

Also check out cheap cap and resistor sets on Amazon like these and these if you want to go bulk (just examples, not a specific endorsement of products - check around to see what works for you). You'll end up with odd values you don't need and probably more of some than you'll use but it's a decent way to just bulk up on a bit of everything for the first go around. Easier than hand selecting lots of individual components.

> 365pF variable cap

There are a number available online.

Do you work with small electronic devices, or ones that need adjustment? This looks like a potentiometer adjustment tool.

>First off, the burden of proof is on you.

LoL, no, you're the one trying to disprove me.

>Don't tell me too google it, I went to school for it.

Good for you, so did I, you clearly need a refresher. Or simply more time working with the real thing rather than staring at formulas in a book. You clearly understand each part, each textbook equation... but you fail to understand how it all works together in a real, live DC circuit.

>Blah blah formulas and shit

Ok, that's nice and pretty on paper. Now go take a load simulating resistor and some 32AWG or so wire... cut to various length, one inch, one foot, one yard, 3 yards, etc. Hook them up to a bench power supply or just a car battery and let me know which one gets hotter.

Protip: When you get decent technical training, they don't just throw this stuff at you in formulas in a book, they also make you do it yourself by hand and show you, in a safe environment, what kind of fuck ups are dangerous. I've seen what happens when you run small wires further than you should. I've seen what happens when you drop a wrench on a 12V battery with enough amperage to melt it. I've seen why airbags are kinda terrifying.

This is how I know for a fact that this is correct and am not paying attention to your prattling on about formulas you know how to use but do not understand. I have done that experiment, the little 1 inch wires doesn't give a shit and stay cool, the 1 foot wires get a little warm but no big deal, the 1 yard wire is very hot to the touch and the longest one acts like a fusible link, burns out.
