    Yes, I know my hands are large/fat. It's because of a heart condition I suffer from called Congestive Heart Failure. Here's a link to some information about CHF: cle.clinic/2TdS2Ux
    One of the symptoms is that is causes fluid retention, mostly in the hands, feet/ankles, and face.
    It will kill me one day. I'm doing ok right now, but someday...

      @@robertchaparro7225 Sure. Another resistor between the emitter pin and ground (instead if straight through) and tap the non-inverting output at the junction of the the emitter and resistor, basically a mirror of the upper/inverting output. If you google electronics-tutorials and phase-splitter, you'll see exactly what I'm describing.

    Your videos are as always useful, Paul! The classic series are by far my favorite. Btw: In our previous chat related to Mosfet transistors I have discovered the ULN2803 which makes my life a lot easier, especially if you have a lot of power hungry devices where you would like to turn of and on devices by need. 500mA per output is super cool and in series you can power a lot of fun stuff. Maybe make a video of it? :)

    Really, really interesting, dude!!! 😃
    On the "rc world" we have the SBUS protocol for FrSky (that is the manufacturer of the most used radios and receivers - or at least was, but that's a long story). And it's signal is inverted (in relation to other protocols)... So, some flight controller boards (the F4s) need a inverter like that in one UART. 😊
    F3s and F7s have it in software or something like that. 😊

    If you have a 5V Arduino style product, but someone gives you an FPGA board (Arduino header pins but 3.3V logic component), a level shifter will prevent you destroying something.

  • @819jt
    @819jt 4 роки тому

    These videos have been key to implementing these doohickeys in real life. The hardest part for me has been to relate the spec sheet for the transistor to calculate what I need to control it. If you can suggest where to go for that, I'm on it, but I think implementing more of the planning for a circuit, selecting the V, I, R for the specific transistor from the data pulled from its spec sheet would complete the puzzle. I'm a noob, so, I don't know how you got to choose this transistor, how you came to choose the resistor, how you knew which power settings... yep, all of that. :)

  • @michatroschka
    @michatroschka 4 роки тому

    thanks for the detailed video! its very relaxing to watch!
    i just measured the current draw of the whole gate and its around 0.67 mA if it has a HIGH input. is that normal, and could i reduce it? if the input is LOW, the current draw is 0A.
    its for a battery project.
    i need a LOW signal if the cell gets sun , thus the inverter and it works
    but 0.67 mA is too much, maybe an op amp buffer behind it?
    thanks!!

      ​@@petertyrrell6690 Thats true. I was wondering if it possible to use instead of opAmp for negative voltage convertion. For example ADC pin on MCU takes results for Voltmeter, but it must be always posetive. So as long we have negative voltage it would be nice to know if we cold convert it only with one Transistor or we still need opAmp for that.

    @htpcandroid4903 3 роки тому

    One thing I don’t understand though! In Forest Mims book “Getting started in electronics”, page 92, it shows a combined buffer, inverter transistor circuit, where 2 LEDs are connected between ground / Emitter for LED1 and ground / Collector for LED2. In case of Low input, LED 1 will be off and LED 2 will glow. That is perfectly understandable, however when the input is high, the transistor is switched on and, in my understanding, I expect both LED to be lit as they become kind of two LEDs in parallel after a 1K resistor. Why only LED2 is on? Thanks.
