audio recording on IC -help wanted

Hello, anyone got one or two? (Or even five if the price is good.)

Optrex DMF5005NY-EB is a 9mm thick LCD, with EL backlight, 240x64 pixels,
with a T6963C controller on board.
The thickness is critical, it must be no thicker than 9 mm, it's replacing
one in a Yamaha SY99 synthesizer where a switch PCB straddles the back of the
display panel.

Suggestions for alternatives welcomed, that original is a slightly bleary
blueish thing and replacing with green-yellow LED, or with sharp contrast
dark blue/brilliant white is a nice idea, but unless it's definitely 9 mm
thick or less, I'll settle for an original (with some backups).
 
I have a few IBM POS customer pole displays. They are 2x20 and are
fluorescent and
the part number is 61P5766. They have a four pin jack that is labeled 4
which I assume means it plugs into port 4 on the pos computer.I believe this
display is used on the IBM 4694 POS system. I don't know if it uses RS-232
or RS-485. I have a few LTC485 tranceivers if it does use a RS-485
interface.
I would like to be able to drive these displays from a PIC microcontroller
or even
a serial port on a PC but I have no idea what is required to communicate
with it. I would greatly
appreciate anyone having information on the interface, protocol and
initialization.

Thank You,
Bob

Usual resistors are rated up to around 700V dielectric. Some exotic SMT
can go to kilovolts but they are expensive, rare and also long so that
breakage or other flex damage is likely. Then there are small specialty

preferably with medical device blessings?

Thanks, Phil!


Those are wrong. Only go up to 33MOhm.

Sometimes you need only a few megs.


As far as the "medical device blessings" That is what YOUR finished
product must acquire, not the components within it. The circuit
operation must pass.

I know. I am designing such stuff since the mid 80's. There are parts
with which it's easy to obtain the coveted blessing and then there are
some (especially some pwoer supply modules) where you just know it's
going to be a nightmare. Problem with resistor mfgs is that a lot of
them were acquired. By Vishay ...


I made a 15kV PS that was meant to be in proximity to humans. The
mouth, in fact. It was current limited to 11ľA, and there was a
requisite on how fast that limit fired. The requisites were in case
human contact was ever made, even though the intended use of the device
was meant to be NOT in human contact.

BTDT. Mostly intra-cardiac stuff. There you have to keep it below 10uA
and not all countries go by the 601-1 rules, some make their own
additional ones.

Hello sci.electronics.components,

So I a hobby tinkerer. I'd love to do more and make more, but the cost
of electrical components is prohibitively expensive for me. I have
had success in the past using old or broken electronics for their
parts (a transformer here, a capacitor there).

I was wondering if we could get a list going of from where and from
what to harvest components.

For example, in my tinkering I have found that broken microwave ovens
are an excellent source for large, high voltage transformers.

Also comes to mind: high farad electrolytic capacitors from disposable
cameras. Old, non-disposable cameras with built in flash can often be
purchased for less than $2 at second hand stores (for a 500k uF
capacitor, that's a very good deal).

My current project requires relays (electromechanical or SSR). Does
anyone have any suggestions from what to harvest relays?
 
I need a source for a small quantity (20 or 30) Phillips PDTA114YS
transistor for a small VHF transmitter project. It is evidently an obsolete
part, and I don't find an equivalent part . Here is the data sheet, in case
anyone is interested:

http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/datasheets/PDTA114Y_SERIES_4.pdf

This TO-92-3 transistor has an internal bias resistor, but I am unsure what
makes it special other than that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

I actually asked about two switches. but not in the above
configuration, but rather in a way that I can individually choose
between powering up drive A, drive B or both.
I've also been wondering if there was a way to NOT spinup the drives
when power is applied, but instead have the computer (a Mac G4 running
MacOS 10.4) send a "spinup" signal at will. Alas I've asked around but
nobody seems to know about any such solution.

How do those professional rack mounted hard drive enclosures work with
several drives? Do they just have a single power switch and spin up
all drives?

You could make one easily from a small relay. Put the coil in series
with the relay contacts and your voltage source. Affix a diaphram to the
armataure to increase the area so that the buzz is louder. It also makes
a lot of radio interference.

Thanks Al, I hadn't thought about modifying a relay.
Might be a good idea.

Because Jim and I are retarded bastards. Your definition sounds to
close to ANSI C definition. There are million ways to name a thing.

What does C have to do with ICs? As usual, one needs to spell out
everything.

An "application-specific IC" is no more an application-specific device
than
blank sheets of paper and pile of pencils are a novel. They should

apply anywhere else.



Things seem to have changed, big time. Of course everything is
electronics today. I've been getting calls from a company that
makes *big* welders. Of course I made an ass out of myself by
asking why they were looking for me (FPGA, embedded controller
hardware type). Well, I have been asked to look at some *strange*
openings.

I doubt that we'll stay long though, although SWMBO is going house
shopping this week. It seems the housing "bubble" has hit here hard.


Hey Keith, do you have much experience with Gb ethernet stuff? can
you email me off-line?



No, I haven't. The closest I've come is GB Rocket-I/O we're working
on now and that hardware isn't back yet (and the ****** "forgot" to
order parts, so it looks like the boards will be delayed two months).


we are looking for someone to help with some FPGA stuff. we are using
Gb ethernet physical layer, so have phy chips connected to our fpga,
but dont want to use the ethernet protocol itself. we have a couple of
FPGA guys, but they have no experience in this area, and its one of
our risk items (it has to work, or back to the drawing board). email
me, my_name@ieee.org if you are at all interested. we have people
working in: hong kong, SF, bvelgium & NZ...


Is that format first.last@ieee.org, with the dot in between? I might
know someone (in the US) who could help.

Hi Joerg,

its an underscore (which conveniently disappears when underlined), but
yes, we are looking. Please feel free to contact me offline

Cheers

We also have a Dymo LabelWriter 400, but it's local to
my wife's
machine.


We still write labels by hand, or I print, glue to blank
label, then stick.


We have ~1000 Girl Scouts... we're neighborhood level
now, and I'm the
neighborhood cookie manager ;-)


That sure explains the label printer.


Sure explains why NOT to volunteer ;-)


If your wife wasn't busy with her volunteer work she might
decide to
spend more time keeping you in line! :(


Tell me about it. My wife isn't working since we moved and
doesn't
want to look because we're not planning on staying here for more
than another six months or so. Who knows though, if there's work
to be done we may stay for a long time (since we finally made it
out of weenie-land).


So, where are you guys now?


NE OH. It's a lot cheaper than VT, though a lot more "big-city".
When asked about the size of the city, I reply "five Walmarts, five
Home Despots, and four Lowes". There are two, two, and zero in the
whole state of VT. ;-)



Always on the look-out for business-friendly places and where
they don't
tax grandparents out of their homes :)


Well, we made it 2/3rds of the way to KY. There is a *lot* more
work here too. ;-)



I beat you to kentucky. I arrived there in the later half of in
1952, at a hospital in Menifee County.! ;-)


Yeah, but you were dumb enough to leave. ...for Florida, of all
places! <ack!



Only after 30+ years in Ohio. At that time there was no electronics
work in the area. Months between job postings. A freind who was an EE
ended up serviceing lotto machines for the state of Ohio. i was hired
as a broadcast engineer as soon as I hit Florida. It was my first, and
only application after moving south. I was hired before I had time to
apply anywhere else.

yep, and as seen above, I also know how to copy and paste. Have you
figured out how to use scroll bars yet, or that little wheel thingy in
your mouse? Ask a 10-year-old child, they'll be able to help you
understand this new-fangled technology

PS Im not a bastard, although mum was pregnant with my older brother
when my folks married, so does that make him conceptually a bastard?
