    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Which 16 channel logic analyzer would be a better choice? Kingst LA1010 USB Logic Analyzer 100M max sample rate16 Channels10B samples MCU ARM FPGA debug tool Oscilloscopes Or better to pay a little bit more and get 2 in 1 (oscilloscope and logic analyzer)? but its 10Mhz on 16channels. Hantek...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    You mean from where its taken? I dont have my exact unit photo at the moment but it looks like this:

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Some people suggested to get 16channel logic analyzer. I am considering buying it. What do you think? I think it should be easy to understand how display works, or it still wont be that easy? The reason I want to hack this specific display and not to buy any other from ebay is that I would keep...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Not sure how long my perseverance will last, but I hope that someone, if not me, would hack it. I would love to see that you could take any display from any product and reuse it in your project. Display has "Chip-On-Glass (COG)" (those black spots at the bottom), so it has controller built in...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    More investigations: I am able to change contrast from original device, but I don't observe any voltage drop in any of the power or other pins. Does this mean that contrast could be sent as a command not as a separate pin input? As I don't have oscilloscope (I am considering to get it if it...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Well I don't mind burning the screen if that is your worry. I have few of them. Still I would prefer not a brute force approach, but better to burn screens while trying than just to move on to other project. But I don't know from where to start guessing? Well I am not very experienced, I don't...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Thanks for reply. Any ideas how to debug this display further? Is it possible to guess which drivers it uses? Any insights would be useful, thanks.

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    So I did further investigations. This display contains of 2 256x13 pixel displays. Display pins -> Meaning (where goes on original board) 2 -> GND 3 -> GND/Power (one display goes to GND another to Power on this pin) 16 -> GND 17 -> Power 18 -> D0? (on original board goes to MC74VHC541 Bus...

    Optrex 323 1867 display

    Hi, I would like to try to play with Optrex 323 1867 (rebranded as KYDE 3232351) monochrome display (256x26 pixels). I did not find any documentation about it. The only thing I found is Optrex 323 display: http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net/ser/optrex323.html As I understand it contains of 2...

    555 Low power Consumption Timer Circuit modification

    But this will consume power on idle correct? Will my circuit with 2 realay work and wont consume power on idle? Circuit should not consume power on idle, and once turned ON it will do power LED and play sound with "Mono MP3 decoder module". Original schematic is here...

    555 Low power Consumption Timer Circuit modification

    Circuit should do the same as original circuit in first post, except that it should have push button connected to ground instead of +12V. Nice idea! This is my new circuit, is it correct?

    555 Low power Consumption Timer Circuit modification

    And how could I edit shema that the button would be connected to ground? Can pin 3 give negative ground instead of power? Or its not possible to modify shematicsthey way I want and that it wont consume power on idle?

    555 Low power Consumption Timer Circuit modification

    Hi, I would like to modifie this "555 Low power Consumption Timer Circuit": The problem is that I have push button already installed in a car and one side of it is connected to the ground. Is it possible to adjust schematics to that button? would this work and consume 0 power when off? Also...

    How to test which component failed?

    Electrolytic capacitor seems to be fine visually and also when measuring resistance it does have resistance and it seems its rising (I guess capacitor is charging while I measure?). So next guess would be relay? It has 10pins so it wont be easy to remove it from the boars...

    How to test which component failed?

    Hi, this module of the car has failed and does not activate electric motor although it responds to master computer of the car. So I wonder which component could have failed in it? Which components are most oftern known to fail in circuits? Is it relay which failed? Could I test components...
