Typically, the forward voltage of an LED is between 1.8 and 3.3 volts. Judging by the battery complement above and that the , I'd guess 3.3VDC
Within limits. Generally, max LED output is determined by rated max forward voltage of the LED
The ground symbol () is only shown because the...
Welcome to ETO, Kwells7504!
How much are you willing to spend?
Reason I ask is that **broken link removed** is probably the cheapest you'll find with all the parts needed to make what you have described. And no soldering necessary, just "wire nut" it all together: Its $19.95 plus shipping. I...
Point taken, Nigel. I was in a bad mood day before yesterday... But in my defense, I would have straightened the resistor's leads to make right angles... :wideyed:.
Well, I interpreted this comment:
as indicating that the cradle had at least been working for a while (who knows for how long).
The noted component below (R3) has been replaced with the external resistor (rather sloppily, IMHO) and
the replacement has obviously gotten pretty hot. A properly designed circuit would not normally over heat the components. Perhaps the baby monitor's battery is defective?
The replacement...
Since it is a sliding gate you're intending to automate, you'll need (obviously) an actuator that has the "reach" (or "throw") that will fully open/close the gate.
That said, Amazon has a product that seems to meet your specs and at a very reasonable price....
Proper ventilation: ideally, a ventilation hood.
Even though they may be invisible, the stuff that off-gases from PCBs is very bad for your lungs...
And did I mention a ventilation hood?
Obviously very difficult for us (or anyone, for that matter) to advise you on a career choice.
Just off the top of my head, I'd suggest keeping the "Methods" job (had to look that one up... :)) since you're already trained in that. Then start the task (on your "off time") of becoming competent...
Welcome to ETO, rb!
We'll need more context to even guess.
What is the function of the board it is on? Can the board be identified (part number, etc). Is there a schematic available for the board?
I was unable to find any data from the numbers on the device.
Can you provide us with a another JPEG (same dimension) of the reverse side of the board?
It would allow an examination of the circuit and an estimate of any possible changes that might meet your goal.
I'm really just guessing, but the circuit looks like it would respond (as you wish) by adjusting Rx and/or Ry, thereby altering the voltage division ratio.
