Elevens Solitaire

This game is a work of art! The rules are simple, in fact it may even be easier to win than regular solitaire! The object of this game is to discard all the cards by taking a pair of 2 cards and adding them up to 11. Jacks, queens and kings are only discarded when

Resistor RJ45 Tester

This is a simple network cord tester that uses just 8 unique resistors. The values/wattage doesn’t matter as long as the meter can read them. They should be in the kiloohm range. I have made an Excel spreadsheet file that you can enter all 8 of the resistors and get the total parallel resistance. The

Basketball pump signal injector

This is a simple signal injector that can fit inside a mini basketball pump it requires: This signal injector can come in handy for repairing radios, amplifers and old TVs and also square wave generator in a probe. Later on I will make a version that uses C1 and C2 as 470nF and R3 and

Christmas Light Contest 2023

This contest is to show your christmas decorations you put up this year. There is no prize but its just to show your christmas sprite. Voting ends 12/31/2023 and posting 12/25/2023. Note you can only vote once

Simplest Wire Tracer/Coax Tester

This is a simple wire tester all you need is a 12-1000vac non-contact voltage detector. The ideal is to connect AC live wire to the red circle is. You do not use ground or neutral wires, these wires should be cut off. If the cord is shielded(coax) the detector doesn’t. Even though there’s only one

The easiest RJ45 Cable Tester

This tester is pretty simple and cheap to build. All you need is 2x RJ45 Female connectors(like the ones for putting into the wall) 4x 2-pin Bi-color LEDs 4x 150 ohm resistor USB A Male Connector(I cut a USB Cord) 4x DPST or DPDT Switches A PCB Or floor tile and copper tape Some wire.

USB Null Power Supply

One time I read an Nuts and volts article where this guy took a usb cord and unhooked the +5v(red wire) and made it where the arduino can be powered by an external power supply without breaking anything.. This can be also handy for power hungry devices(such as external dvd burners,etc). This will draw nothing

When an soundcard probe uses wrong polarity on android/chromebooks

In this blog I will review the Virtins Soundcard probe using it on a chromebook. Chromebooks use a 4-pin headphone not a 3-pin connector like PCs and regular laptops use. Here comes the interesting part when measuring a sawtooth wave it was going backwords seen on figure 1 What can that do to the circuit?

0-30v/0-60v dual power supply

Here’s a type of powersupply you should have. It’s good if you’re dealing with OP amps. I took the circuit from eleccircuit.com and modified it to incorporate 2x printer power supplies instead of an AC transformer. It provides a ground that are both positive and negative. LM317 and LM337 regulators are utilized in this circuit.

Pythagorean Transistor Circuit

Here’s a circuit that Joerg from the electronics chat shared with me. The circuit outputs a current and inputs a current for the variables in the Pythagorean equation. Pythagorean theorem solves for the hypotenuse of a triangle. The currents in the circuit are the same way where C is the hypotenuse in amps I(A) is
