content: NoScript is your friend.YouTube recommends me things I've expressed an interest on YouTube, and nothing else.Ironically YT is one site I'm actually quite happy to log into and allow to learn some things about me. Without logging in, it's a cesspool, but once it knows what I'm interested in, it's a surprisingly rich vein of genuinely worthwhile, high quality content that probably doesn't have any other outlet and wouldn't exist otherwise.

Video suggestion: Mains battery units and HF damage to capacitive mains psus - Page 1

content: "Matthias random stuff" on YouTube did a video showing how his large circular saw would cause his mains battery bank to go unstable and output bursts of 5-7khz which blew up another device he had connected which used a capacitive mains psu.Might make a cool video to try this on one of Dave's mains battery units and, if they also have the issue, build a little mains capacitive PSU to show how they will overcurrent themselves when given 7khz instead of 50hz.I imagine the zener pops from overcurrent, goes open circuit, and then there's no more voltage regulation so the low voltage mcu/circuit gets like 20mA 300V instead of 20mA 5V.

Suggestion: Semiconductors - how hot is too hot? - Page 1

content: Hi Dave. Thanks for all the great videos, I've learned a lot!I would be interested in seeing your thoughts on semiconductor temperatures: How to measure, how much to de-rate from "absolute maximum", how to use PCB planes for cooling SMT parts.I recently designed a buck converter. Of course I studied the data sheets for info on current ratings and thermal considerations, but how much can I push my design given its layout and cooling? I've frequently find measuring a component's temperature hard. I mostly use a thermocouple, but never sure if I'm getting good conductivity to it. Should I be using an IR thermometer or camera? What is the best method? Is there a finger test? If a parts rated to 100°C, I figure if I can touch if for 3 seconds, its probable OK. Does that make any sense?Your insights would be appreciated!

content: I generally try to keep parts under about 70C, it depends on many factors though. Keep in mind the specs are often for the die temperature which can be considerably hotter than the package temperature. Measuring depends on the package, sometimes I use an IR thermometer, sometimes a thermocouple, sometimes I'll stick something like a DS18B20 to the package with a dab of thermal paste.

content: I could ramble about this for days, but the short version is: you should be most concerned about the die temperature, which you cannot measure directly, but can calculate.What you can and should do, is:- measure the outer case temperature- measure the power dissipation in the die (apply P=VI to each current loop that passes through the device)- look up the junction-to-case thermal resistance of the part in its data sheet- from these figures, work out how much hotter the die must be than the case, given that you know the dissipation and thermal resistance- add the two numbers together to get the die temperatureProvided the worst-case figure is within the data sheet rating, you should be OK.

In my profile I set the location to France, which is where I live now, but my nationality is Dutch, and that is what my flag shows.For me that was a logical choice, to show that I'm Dutch, to give some insight in my cultural background.So it is not always correct, and others might even set it at random, to not reveal anything.

content: It was announced as the world first liquid-hydrogen air conditioning for outdoors. I start to worried about the product itself maybe a pure BS marketingand it may pose a safety concern to users too.I found this news article introduced this product in my local IT news site in Thai Language. But it also reference the link to the source which it hasarticle in English here.If anyone has knowledge or expert in A/C and chemical engineer, please check this product and debunk this.As it contain dangerous chemical inside which can casued serious danger to environment and users. Also I doubt their claims in cost and duration of this product as comment in news article also show the same concerns on this product.

I measured 98% efficiency on one of them, and it let me get 1.2W using two SOT fets in parallel. The fets ran just a few degrees over ambient. You will find many equations out there, loosely based on Sokol's work, but I've found that they need to be tweaked a little for low-power design (or perhaps my input parameters aren't quite accurate?)TonneSoftware.com (http://tonnesoftware.com/) has a decent Class-E calculator you can download. It uses "saturation voltage" instead of FET on-resistance, but the values it puts out seem to work well. I've also built a few spreadsheet calculators using the Sokol (and other) equations found here and there on the net.

content: I have an idea for a new board: hobbyist (as in electronics hobbyist)I realise that “Beginner” is a similar thing in that people with less knowledge post in there asking for solutions from those with superior knowledge. The difference would be in the level, complexity and objectives of the answers.With a hobbyist the purpose is enjoyment and education. Therefore, recommending that the poster, say, uses a higher spec microcontroller or drops in an extremely clever and extraordinarily complex circuit that they will not understand, misses the point.Hobbyists want to understand and to use the simpler components and techniques that they have before them and to be led toward a greater understanding of their particular situation.What do you think?

Not all hobbyists are beginners or want a simple solution.eg: my budget is only $20, just building one, etc.If not, you've poorly explained the question, which is a common issue for beginners.

A Hobbyist board would sit "inbetween" the existing Beginners and specialized topics boards, and would just create confusion where to put (or look for) a given topic.

As such I do not see the need for this new board.Beginners is clearly there for the not so advanced hobbyist or professional and in this board or one of the others they can make it clear that the question concerns a hobby project, and that they are not up to speed with the topic. This way the experts can see it needs to be kept simple.

content: I would suggest to move this post to the Metrology section where you are more likely to get responses. This forum section is for help on how to use the forum software, not help on other equipment.The E2050A doesn't support dhcp. Only an old predecessor of the dhcp protocol that no consumer router will support.I would set the IP address and other network configuration manually. First reset it so it gets a default IP address. Make sure your computer has an IP address within the E2050A's default subnet. Then telnet into it and assign it the static IP address that you want and that's within the subnet used by your router. This should be described in the E2050A manual.You may need to tell your router not to assign the E2050A's IP address via DHCP using something like static leases or exclusions. See your router manual.

Then modify the post and paste the url in the image place holder. The placeholder can be inserted with the image button left of the web link button and below the bold button. It is a bit more work, but not to bad, and if you press the modify button fast enough you won't get the "last edited" text.

content: Hi Dave. Thanks again for all the videos!!!I frequently design PCBs that use SMT components from LCSC. Initially I tried picking parts from manufactures that I know, however with low inventories that has gotten really hard. Plus the Chinese components are tantalizing cheap! I would love to see a video discussing if any of these brands can trusted, and which ones I might want to avoid. I'm particularly interested in capacitors, mostly electrolytic and ceramic. Are the electrolytics going to last, do the ceramics have a decent ESR? Mostly at LCSC, I'm looking for reliable parts with good inventories, but which to choose? Does anybody know?

author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: October 07, 2022, 08:59:04 pm
content: I think the caps is a bit hard to test, you can test the basics: ESR, capacitance, etc. Ceramic ESR is already very low, what concern do you have there?But any sort of lifespan testing is very difficult, 2000hrs at 105C, who will do that.Its a good idea though. The FETs could be tested as well for RDSon, voltage maximum, etc.

As the theme it is just a stock off the shelf one it is missing some of the extras applied to the base theme that the Forum has evolved on.It is a Major PITA to get two different themes to follow changes to the base forum. Even creating a Dark look of the main theme is not trivial. Adding a theme change button is possible down the bottom but as it is not in the Core of SMF every time you get an update to the software fairly likely you would also need to tweak the mod depending on how it was coded.Don't ask me how I know but I added to the hair loss and Gray colour of the remaining hairs elsewhere

Nothing super commercial, but projects that might be interesting for a dedicated hobbiest or professional. I'm working on ideas for home energy collection and management since the commercial products I find tend to be expensive, a poor fit, too complicated or are just missing a key feature that I can't add as there is no technical support (closed products). Julian Illet got me interested in his channel when he was working on his "MuPPeT" project. I really miss Louis at Scullcom since his projects were very interesting. Marco Reps, Great Scott and Andrew Spiess all do some very interesting stuff as well. I don't suggest that you do nothing but projects, but a few each year would be interesting.
