How to Connect an Ammeter

Despite the fact that the ammeter is considered an attribute vehicles produced a long time, this equipment still occurs as early generations of machines. Therefore, replace, repair, or make any other operation should be aware of how to connect an ammeter if necessary.

You will need the connecting wires and a DIY digital ammeter. Since the ammeter into the circuit is connected in series, locate the wires that connect the generator and battery. They must be careful to separate, without losing the value of the polarity of the wires.

As a rule, the generator and the battery are connected by wires of large cross section, so choose those to connect an ammeter should be the same diameter. Accordingly, it is necessary to connect the wires in order to connect the generator and an ammeter to the battery with the same. For this purpose, place them carefully and wrap the tape to avoid closure.

If you are using the ICL7107 ammeter, by and large polarity of the wires does not matter. But in the case of an analog device, be sure to note that negative of an ammeter is connected to the battery plus. BTW, you can select the digital ammeter at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electrical accessories (e.g. DIY voltmeter) there with high quality and reasonable prices.

What Are Needed for the Reception of Digital Terrestrial Television?

Modern TV-receivers are designed to receive digital signals, but most TVs are available to residents of the Russian Federation, are analog devices, not adapted to receive transmissions in digital mode. However, to get a modern image and sound quality possible, and on a normal TV, has served more than one year.

To adopt modern digital signal to an analog TV, you need an antenna and set-top box, called a digital HD DVB receiver or decoder. And to the antenna and to the console, there are certain requirements, observing that you can get a modern high-quality picture and sound the same.

Do not rush with the purchase of this device, if your area digital television broadcasting has not yet been organized. It is necessary to wait for the beginning of operation of digital television decoder to test in the store. The HD DVB-S receiver is a compact electronic device that receives a signal from the antenna, and then converts it and gave it to the television set. Buying the console in the first place ask about its compliance with the requirements of TSETV network; the instrument must be optimized for DVB-S2 broadcast standard, support MPEG4 video, and Multiple-PLP mode. 

But this is only a minimum set: if you want to take a pay program, it requires conditional access (in the form of a CAM module), and if you plan to record a program, the device must be USB port. It is worth taking the opportunity to set-top box channels broadcasting in HD mode, i.e., high definition. Additional features include the presence consoles display the received signal strength that helps to determine the optimal position of the antenna.

Something about the Electronic Clock Kit

Just want to say that those who believe that it is cheaper to buy ready-made, more cannot read! This article is for those who have little interest in, or interested in radio electronics. And as for those who have decided to join this hobby.

Radio-electronics, I got carried away while still a schoolboy. This case comes in the form of small package. We reveal, look what's inside. Set Ingredients - Fee - Seven Segment digital displays with a point - 4 pieces - Chips - 2 pieces (resistors, capacitors, transistors, quartz, and other elements) - power cord - Details housing - Instruction manual is included in the Chinese language. To assemble DIY LCD clock kit enough (the language of circuitry common to all), but the setting had a problem. The building process we need: - the soldering iron; - solder; - side cutters; - Knife assembly decided to recite with passive components (resistors, capacitors, buttons and etc.).

The kit comes two types of resistors (510 and 4.7K), marking them color. You can use a calculator or ohmmeter. But in fact, everything was much simpler, they were signed. Then cut side cutter too much, and in one fell swoop to solder all. In this photo visible trained contact resistors and a number have already soldered. Soldered buttons Sockets for ICs, do not forget to monitor the correct position on the key (notch at one end of the panels). It requires digit control soldered onto the diode, because he does not care which side! It came to transistors, quartz, connectors for 24V 1A power supply and socket for the battery. Check the correct installation of transistors, it is also important! The blessing and the diagram on the board and it is marked all. All, all elements on that side in the place left solder digital segments. We arrange them in their places, and do not forget to turn up a single point! And also one calling soldered. All watches are assembled, drumroll, the moment of truth ... is connected to the power source.

Why Does the Electric Motor Overheat?

Electric motors are widely used in the workplace and at home. The new engine, passed factory tests can regularly work a few years. But in violation of the rules of operation sometimes there are faults. One of them is the overheating of the engine, which may well lead to a complete damage it.

Why the Electric Motor Overheats

Disturbances in the motor (e.g. the 300 RPM motor) can be caused by several reasons. These often include a violation of the rules of transportation, storage and installation, and the use of unacceptable operating conditions. Sudden shocks, prolonged vibration and shock is likely to disrupt the integrity of the elements of the engine and it can lead to overheating when working. Even worse, if the motor is stored for a long time in the open air, it feels the effects of low temperatures and high humidity. These adverse factors may well cause the appearance on the outer surface of the rotor and the stator core of rust.

One of the most common faults of the motor is damaged insulation of coils, which in most cases leads to a local short circuit. During operation, the unit begins to warm up strongly, the rotor rotates unevenly, and the machine shaft is permanently deformed. Winding insulation can damage the engine careless transportation, and foreign particles from entering the body. BTW, you can select the cheap gear motor and RPM measurement tool at Banggood.

Other Causes and Possible Remedies

If the engine is turned rotor scrolls with difficulty or not at all is fixed, and at the same time there is intense heating of the body, it is possible degradation of the bearing. With such a rotor and stator faults hit against each other, it leads to a complete jamming. Typically in such a case is required to send an electric motor repair replacement bearing. Overheated motor often occurs when it is overloaded, for example due to high or low voltage. The sharp increase in the room temperature, clogging ventilation channels can also lead to such an effect.

In continuous and prolonged operation of the engine, you can often observe a reduction in power. The electric machine is working at the limit mode, but cannot gain the necessary speed, at the same time starting to heat up. The reason again is becoming overloaded, you want to eliminate. In some cases it is sufficient to switch off the unit and leave it for a while in this state.

How to Program the DDS Function Signal Generator

In principle, you can use any of the nominal value from 8 MHz to 16 MHz - you just have to put in a program the desired frequency. Resistor in the circuit 5 ohms. (From the left edge of the 7 pieces obtained by parallel connection of resistors 10 ohm - sealed sandwich). On board there are 4 jumpers 1206 a variable resistor to adjust the contrast of the display after the measurement is replaced by two fixed resistors. Due to the relative simplicity of the circuit elements on the circuit board and the pin numbers are not signed - easy to understand. On the right side of the chip displayed three pads for analog legs - two ADC inputs - just in case.

Now about the program. For the source program of Italian colleagues, mentioned in the first part of the article about the DDS signal generator kit has been applied. I removed most of the Italian words, changing them into more understandable English counterparts, and changed the principle of data output to the display. The main body of the program (cycle DO LOOP) consists of a reference to display the sub-programs, the survey keyboard and navigation on the display). For each menu item has its own sub-program uses the destination buttons, well, and, if desired, the user can tailor them to your wishes. As a conclusion of the data used to display an array of two strings of 16 characters in length, each of which I change values - numbers, letters, etc. The current position is indicated by a blinking cursor.

LF DDS generator currently generates 8 signals: standard - sine, square, sawtooth, triangle, and not very - pseudonoise, of cos-type function (x) * sin (5x) , damped sine wave and a square wave signal with a variable duty cycle increments ≈ 1%. The last three tables were accidentally found in the depths of the internet, and are inserted for collection - if desired, they can be changed to something more useful. The rectangular signal with variable duty cycle - a useful thing, and the subroutine was written under it. BTW, you can select the DDS signal generator kit at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electrical accessories (e.g. security tag hook key) there with high quality and reasonable prices.

How to Make Decorations for the Christmas Tree

Today, in stores rich assortment of Christmas toys, so many families’ tradition handicrafts ornaments for the Christmas tree with his hands almost lost. Meanwhile, any, even the most expensive luxury goods, cannot compare to homemade. A variety of handy tools can come in handy for Christmas decoration.

Natural material. If before the winter you collected cones, acorns and chestnuts - just wrap them in foil and make loops of thread. "Silver" cones and balls ready! Of the more tree's acorns can make beads, strung them on a long strong thread.

Balloons and thread. With their help, you can create any shape in the form of a sphere: - Inflate three balls so that each next was more than the previous 

- Lubricate them any cream; 

- Take the empty pharmacy container of medicines made of plastic, and then make the hole with a needle on both sides;

- Fill the container stationery glue and thread it through the holes white thread;

- Dragging the thread through the hole (it is uniformly wetted with glue), tightly wrap the balls; 

- Allow the glue to dry, pierce balloons needle and pull them

- Make a snowman, sew all the components. Draw eyes and mouth gouache, red sew fabric nose-carrot and tamp it with cotton wool.

Candy wrappers. Do not throw away wrappers from the gifts that the children got on New Year's morning. Make of them Christmas decorations. Bright butterflies of them can make even a preschooler. On a butterfly leaves two candy wrappers. Fold each flap in an accordion on the diagonal, then fold them in half and tie a long thin ribbon - for it you tie floating "insect" to the electronics Christmas tree branch.

Eggshell. Carefully perform the two holes at the top and bottom of the shell and blow out the contents. Paint an empty egg in the color you want and decorate it with glitter. Pass the thread through the hole to form a loop. Downstairs unit secure with beads. You can stick to the whole egg shells ears, noses, paws, tails of colored paper - funny animals are obtained.

BTW, you can select the Christmas decorations at Banggood and the electronics (e.g. EDC gadgets) prices are reasonable.

Pumps with the "Wet" Rotor for the Circulation of Hot Water

To resolve this issue between the boiler and the draw-off points is laid an additional pipeline, and the circulation pump is installed on it. The circulation of water in the hot water system (hot water) is needed for the hot water to be available at any time of the day right after the opening tap. Considering that water needs for domestic hot water is usually unprepared cold water containing hardness salts and dissolved gases, it is evident that standard pumps used to circulate the heating systems cannot provide a reliable and continuous operation. Therefore, for this purpose uses a special pump construction with a "wet" rotor. The features of this series are brass or bronze body (depending on the type), and the impeller is made of stainless steel or special food grade plastic. The main difference lies in the design of the motor, which ensures the absence of it in salt deposits.

Another problem is the formation of dead zones in the heating systems where the water cools even when the pump is running. Among the causative agents of various diseases that may be present in the water, for a man especially dangerous so-called Legionella can cause legionellosis acute infectious disease characterized by severe pneumonia. The most favorable breeding ground for this type of bacteria is warm stagnant water with a temperature of 25 to 50 ° C. In modern boilers provides the function of a thermal disinfection of the water when during the night the water is heated to a temperature of 70 ° C, which is enough to kill bacteria in the boiler tubes and the next. However, water pipelines in remote areas and does not pass the stagnant thermally disinfected, and its use after passing through the pipeline remains unsafe.

To solve this problem helps to pump, the circulation pump with hot water motor supports automatic mode boiler thermal disinfection. With built in determining the start time of thermal disinfection procedures, it provides extra protection against Legionella. Since this procedure is carried out at night, when the circulation pump is switched off, it is necessary that the temperature rise and the inclusion of the pump monitored even when you turn off the automatic timer. Thus, the use of the pump this model allows the first stage to automatically determine the time during which the disinfection of the boiler, while the second - turn on the pump at the right time, ensuring the circulation of very hot water over the DHW system and disinfect pipelines simultaneously with disinfection boiler.

BTW, you can select the Pumps with the "Wet" Rotor at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electrical accessories (e.g. lock pick set credit card) there with high quality and reasonable prices.

How to Connect an Electric Guitar

Check the thread pitch before buying a new cartridge.

How to Make a Peristaltic Pump with Your Hands?

The first step is to choose the correct tube. Although if the purity special value of the pumped liquid is not for you, then there is not all that bad. But do not forget that the performance depends on the internal diameter of the hose. Hoses can be made continuously or fixtures that allow them to capture still.

Then you can collect a peristaltic pump with your hands. We use the required diameter rollers, which have to buy in the store. Are driven by their best with the help of an electric motor via a shaft or belt drive. Around the rollers stretch the tubing and assemble the whole thing in the case. One end of the hose is placed in a container from which the liquid is drawn, and the second - at the destination. Note that while the rollers are evenly dosed liquid, of course, if it's important. In principle, nothing complicated. The main thing to build a high-quality aquarium peristaltic pump that will meet their performance. The electric motor can be used as a low-power motor. Here it is essential to take into account the diameter of the tube.

Like any other pumps, this kit comes. Usually, there is a special passport, which indicated grade. There are specified and specifications. If you are going to buy a 12V DC peristaltic pump, then pay attention to parameters such as the type of impeller and the number of rollers. We've already figured out that the more clips the better, but the equipment is expensive because of its complexity.

What matters is the type and diameter of the hose. Scope of material depends on the diameter and - performance. After all, there is such parameter as power. It is in many cases the main and determines the effectiveness of the equipment as a whole. To ensure a more comfortable use of these pumps you can buy additional components. If you are going to pump in his studio, set the control of the rotor speed. This will control the speed of rotation of the rollers, and hence the productivity.
