Re: DIY Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

Here are a couple, made by Aries which is much cheaper than some other brands like Ironwood, at Mouser: http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Aries-Electronics/20-350000-10/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMs%2fSh%2fkjph1tjJZclYmfaNPy4Fy8kBZyQM%3d for $8.74 US in singles http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Aries-Electron...

Re: DIY Audio Amplifier Circuit Diagram

The part is obsolete; so it's not exactly a good one to plan on putting in new designs. The fact that it's SOIC-only might put off a few hobbyists too. I find SOICs to be pretty easy to solder, but of course they won't go into standard perfboard or breadboard, so you'd need an expensive SOIC-to-DIP ...

Re: Microcontrollers Driver board/module configuration issues - need help

Do you have a link to a data sheet? You're talking about an I²C IC; but Digi-Key's price on it is well over a thousand dollars! A search for 80049602 Crouznet's site does not yield any results.

Re: Is this a 22nf or 220pf?

It looks like n22, not 022, and especially because it's so tiny, I expect it's 22pF. Do you have a DMM with a capacitance-test function?

Re: Beginning C for Arduino: Learn C Programming for the Ard

It was a constant frustration for me in the years when I was hiring technicians and engineers. (I probably read over a thousand resumes, and I thought it would be fun to be a guest speaker in a classroom to tell how to write a resume. Some of what's often taught is quite wrong. Maybe I should post ...

Re: language

I'm all the more late to the discussion. The PIC16's (at least those before PIC16F1's) were very poorly suited to C. There were just too many problems with it. It's possible Microchip or a third party tried to make a C compiler for them (I don't know), but I imagine it would have some pretty severe ...

Re: Indirect Addressing - a more efficient way to programming

Firewing above appears to be a cross between BASIC and C. It's new to me. The PIC16's indirect addressing method is rather poor IMO, so I'm sure something like Firewing makes it a littler easier for those not yet cozy with the PIC16's instruction and register set. PIC16 uses special-function registe...

Re: The Problems about PIC18F45K80 Memory

I'm not familiar with the compiler, but what happens when you add more code? I imagine the memory usage will not go up proportionately, because there is some amount of base code that has to be there already, to make your own small piece of code work, and that base code will not need to be repeated.
