I have a DC motor and a sensor. I want to have the DC motor stop on a high signal from the sensor. Easy with a microcontroller, but I am wondering if I can do it without one. I tried with some NPN transistors (2N3904), but I could not figure it out.
I've always liked to listen to #radio stations directly through the #radiobrowser site. I've now discovered that it also includes a #GeoMap feature, which makes discovering new stations even easier and more fun... especially when travelling! 🌍 #internetradio#radiostation#fm#opensource#foss
@sustainrelease Many apps make use of this database as a back end. #Shortwave for desktop Linux is probably the best desktop app. #RadioDroid#Transistor and #OpenRadio the best on Android. I understand OpenRadio integrates well with #AndroidAuto for those with newer vehicles.
Seriously guys. I can tell that you haven't tuned in on my data reports. PLEASE? You all seem to like my posts here. The actual radio channel is even better you know!
@funhouseradio I have it bookmarked in #Transistor from #FDroid on an old Android tablet that I have plugged in to the audio port on an old bookshelf stereo.
What is your favourite #fdroid app? Would be interested if I can discover a few new cool apps, I missed until now. Thank you already for sharing! @fdroid
@miona@retrohistories For me that has to be either #Bastion or #Transistor by #supergiantgames (makers of #Hades). The former has a fantastic soundtrack, and the latter actually has a button you can press and hold to let your character, Red, hum to the soundtrack. #DarrenKorb's OSTs are very worth your while.
Wie konsumiert ihr Nachrichten? Ich tue das hauptsächlich via RSS-Feed (ausgewählte Themen) und dann über Online-Nachrichten (ÖRR, Spiegel, Zeit etc.). Ich lese selektiv bzw. wenn mich das Thema interessiert. Kriegsberichterstattung überscrolle ich meist, weil sie nach meinem Empfinden zu viel Raum/Platz einnimmt - das soll nicht bedeuten, dass sie nicht wichtig ist. Nachrichten über Populisten und Personen wie Trump ignoriere ich vollständig. Reine Zeitverschwendung aus meiner Sicht. Und ihr?
Ich lese frei zugängliche, schriftliche Beiträge auch in erster Linie per #RSS via #FreshRSS. Daneben sichere ich mir Links zu interessanten Ressourcen, die ich per #Mastodon mitbekomme, für später mit @wallabag .
Testing the switching characteristics of cheapo PC817 optocouplers from Ebay.
555 timer astable is generating a 37kHz square wave test input.
Rise/fall time is way out of spec for use in #MIDI. But the recommended component, 6N138, is much more expensive.

I tried the #cascode#amplifier trick with the PC817 #optocoupler. IMSAI Guy only showed how the voltage of the transistor base affects the speed of the falling edge. But notice how the rising edge remains largely unaffected.
By comparison, the common mode NPN #transistor amplifier with 150 ohm resistor across base-emitter, yielded noticeably sharper rising/falling edges #electronics#oscilloscope
