In addition to pcmanbob's post regarding transistor interfaces, I would strongly suggest diodes across each electromagnet, to control the back-EMF when each electromagnet is switched off - its inductance will attempt to keep the current flowing, and a diode will provide a low-impedance path for the ...

A couple of questions 1k resistor + LED to GPIO7 Do you really mean GPIO 7 (on pin 26), or do you mean pin 7 (which is GPIO4)? I've wrote a program Can we see it? when driving GPIO7 LOW I could measure 1.6V at my 1k resistor. I changed the resistor to 40k an could measure 2.2V Which end of your resi...

Not sure this is the same problem. The OP, gearheart89, says he's tried already a different PSU without result. And as Hippy says on that other thread, Butchkemper only had the problem after upgrade. Constant red LED => PSU ok No green LED activity => SD card not being read Second Pi works with same...

Have you tried swapping that HAT to a different Pi, and that Pi to a different HAT, to confirm that the problem follows the HAT rather than the Pi?

It may be an obvious reply (if so, ignore me), but can you not download to a usb dongle and use the post to send it?
There might be a delay of a few days, but the cost is going to be less than satellite, and the bandwidth could be at least terabytes per week.

The advantage of the "unpopulated" version (besides cost) is the saving of a few mm in height.
You can solder your own wires where you want them, without requiring the header.

I disagree (just for the sake of). It very much depends on how fast you can allow your video to change, and how long you can wait for the result. Starting with a standard PAL frame, turn it into a JPEG file then send that as fast as you think you can get away with. Once it's reached the far end, rec...

I tried posting this in the beginners section to no avail. I am truly a beginner at this. Not getting any response in the beginners section doesn't mean we think you're not really a beginner; rather it means we have no more idea what to do than you do! That said, it seems to me to be a problem with...

... the pc has it's own display and the pi is plugged into a separate TV., there's only one HDMI cable ever plugged into the pi- it's the same one in the working case and the non-working case. If the pc has an earthed power supply, then using its USB to supply the Pi ties the Pi's ground to your ma...

.... The article stated that the press were kept "at least 331 feet" away from the VIP's plane. I can tell what the original dispatch said (100 meters) and what would have be a more *accurate* statement (100 yards)--the precision to the nearest foot being completely unwarranted. Clearly some fool o...

I don't see a problem - all my Pis are mounted like this. It has the advantage that you can't drop a screwdriver on it, and it can't accidentally touch a conductive surface. Though admittedly I think the ethernet cable should have a half-hitch to hold it in place, otherwise it'll unthread itself whe...

Yes, but ... Barman, customer ... The barman was adding it up as he was pulling the pints, and tells the customer what amount he needs. The customer knows what's in her purse, hands over some amount that's convenient for her, maybe a twenty or two tens. The barman has to take into account what chang...

Not a Python guru, so can't help with that side, but two things stand out for me. First, there ain't no answer if you start with 10 or 30, so it might be worth checking for that before you start. Second, why start with the largest notes and work down - the 100s, then the 50s and end with the 20s? In...

... 3v ultra bright water clear LED's ... Just to say I'm dubious about the 3v bit of the description. Does the seller expect you to connect them to a 3v source - in which case they should have a resistor built-in? Or is it more of a pious hope that not too many buyers want their money back, becaus...

There are several members here who can explain things simply and clearly; two that come to mind are pcmanbob and drgeoff. Have a look through their posts - though they each have rather a lot, in the 10k region. Also look at the posts by any of the engineers - they are rarely wrong, though they might...

RPi 1B Rev 2.1 - PWR (red) LED stays on for 1-30 seconds, then goes off - the 220 CFP 35 (capacitor?) and a couple of components get hot after plugging in power - the mentioned components stay hot even after the PWR red goes off Since the red LED comes on to begin with, the polyfuse hasn't acti...

... pulls down 1.8V for 2 seconds and then the external device powers on... How close to 0v does it need to get? How much current will it source? If, for example, the device's input is one input of an old-fashioned 74LS logic chip, it only needs to be pulled down below 0.8v, and to do that you need...

Ok, found the source of your screenshot https://www.ledsupply.com/leds/5mm-led-orange-610nm-30nm-degree-viewing-angle And I have a screenshot you may find interesting - it's from a Kingbright green LED datasheet, but the basics should apply to most LEDs.

I was thinking to switch the MCP3008 to 5V ... Don't. If you use 5v, the output from it to the Pi will approach that, and the Pi will be damaged. ... so it will sample at 200ksps. The maximum frequency of the signal must be 100KHz, how can I be sure that I won't wiggle the potentiometer too fast? W...

You have, naturally, probed with your meter round that LED, haven't you? Bottom end is GND, obviously. If the LED is open circuit, you should see 4.somethingV at its anode. If R17 is broken, you should see 0V, and the same if it's being held off by Q1 In the latter case, Q1's gate should be high unl...

The low-pass filter shown there gives 6dB/octave with a 3dB turnover at 145kHz. Not what's shown on his graph, which has a 3dB turnover at 19kHz and thereafter something in excess of 18dB/octave. What frequency does the Pi's PWM work at? What does the Pi do to the audio before it feeds into the PWM?...
