C100-C104 10uF capacitors P100 RS232 connector for your computer P101 small connector to match P3 above (included in the FC kit) Note that there should also be plugs to match all the connectors on the flight computer and a bag of pins for the plugs - they are very small so be careful you don`t lose them. P1 is a 0. 156 (really 4mm) pitch molex connector available at many local electronic supply places - P2, P3 are 2mm DF3 connectors by Hirose Electric available from DigiKey. A number of the components - in particular the TO220 transistors and the crystal may have bent leads - straighten them out - they are intended to be placed vertically. As usual you should observe care with static sensitive parts - only remove them from their tube just prior to using them and always gently ground yourself and your soldering iron tip prior to working with any parts. This board is designed to work with any of the 40-pin 8051/8031/8052/8032 variants of microprocessors - I`ve chosen the 80C32 mostly because it`s available and because it runs at a much lower power than the plain 8051/8031s that are more commonly...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
