Re: piezo puzzle
Just a crystal with two electrodes. Bends when you apply voltage, generates voltage if you bend it. Looks a lot like a capacitor electrically. I think it was discovered by the french, and really took

Re: piezo puzzle
I have never done anything with a piezo element. I have seen projects that would measure all kings of things. sounds pressures as well as a few others. is there a very simple introduction to these

Ah-ha! That is probably what made that pop into my head the other. You and I were talking about that book - I will have to dive back into it some night this week again! Thanks for the reminder! Chris

Thanks, I will look into them more. I am not sure if they would be good for general use machine controls, but here in my shop things are kept pretty glean - "Cleanliness is next to Godliness in the

Re: Touch Switch with no moving parts?
There are different types, some with two electrodes between which you make a circuit, some with one electrode that work with body capacity and currents leaked to earth, and some even without

Touch Switch with no moving parts?
Hi guys, I remember seeing these things years back but they have since gone away. It worked like a switch but it appeared to have no moving parts. Rather, there were two electrode sticking up and you

Robert, Speaking of fighter jets. When I was working for GEC Avionics on Head Up displays (HUDs) we scanned the switch inputs at 5Hz. Cheers, Peter Robert Hedan wrote:

Re: RE : How often to cycle through to check switches and such?
My only thought on this is that the "push button" should initiate a signal at least slightly longer than one cycle of your scan. Say you are scanning 10 times per second and one of your controls is a

AC Voltmeter
Went to Hosstraders (THE hamfest here in New England), found a few things (an HP sine wave generator, old, and a freebie function generator too); but the best find was an AC voltmeter. 1mV to 300V,

Re: AVR - Unreliable power up problem
In the past I've used 10k and 0.1uF on reset lines (for logic not micros--the PIC's I've used have power up delay that I can turn on for this sort of thing); gives a cheap delay until the PS settles.
