    Detecting AC VOLTAGE [INPUT (0-200) up to 1000 V AC] [OUTPUT: Any low DC is ok]

    Hello! I need to build a circuit with a DC output that is ON whenever the AC input is active (a.i. voltage is present at the input) ideally from as low as possible but it could be as high as 200, 250 VAC and still be acceptable but needs to survive up to 1000VAC spike and some 600VAC constant...

    How to add up analogue inputs to average them?

    Hi, I would like to read a sensor (acs712) a number of times (20), add them all up, then divide them by the number of reads. So I can get an average. to give me a sort of analogue "debounce". Am I guessing the sum function? I sincerely appreciate any advice you can all give me, I'm incredibly...

    Is this burned or normal? (858D hot air gun temp sensor)

    Hi, I recently bought a cheap hot air gun rework station. Maybe Chinese clone of 858D. I recently knew that the 858D is one of the popular rework station around the world. Just using it few hours, now shows "732" or "733" few seconds then shows "H-E"or "S-E". Device is not working. Sometime it...

    Ideas to detect when someone is trying to detach an object firmly attached?

    I'm designing a tracker for assets. I want your suggestions to implement into the circuit a method to detect when someone is trying to remove the tracker. I was thinking of surrounding the board with touch pads all around the edges of the board but I guess that would be very sensitive to noise...
