Seeking Proposals for Capacitor, Inductor or Resistor Projects

rscasny

I am looking to sponsor passive components projects. It can be anything involving capacitors, inductors or resistors.

 

If you are instrested, please offer your project ideas in the comments below. Also, give me a rough idea of the BOM.

  • Long ago when I taught basic electronics I illustrated how a simple series resistor circuit could do something useful.

    Many consumer camcorders from the 80's used a simple series resistor circuit with switches to control tape transport (FF, REW, PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, etc.).

    The series resistor circuit acted as a voltage divider and the tape transport switches were arranged to feed specific taps along the divider into an analog to digital input on a micro controller.

    Alternatively the switches could be arranged to short out various resistors in the divider to change the voltage fed into the controller.
