Should have it up and running this week. Had the basic system up and running months ago, but have spent a lot of time on the battery/power side, getting the efficiency up.

Printed circuit board for a timecode slate. Just machining up the box at the moment.

Why is the broadcast standard 50/60i and not progressive and why don't we see the effects of interlacing on our TVs? by Alexiumzin Filmmakers

Basically to save on analogue transmission bandwidth.

Every time I plug my Logitech speakers into the wall they play gospel music by rainbowsunshine1in electronics

[–]spainguy 4 points5 points ago

Sounds like the input stage is rectifying a AM radio signal, like an an untuned crystal set,

Something like these might work

If they don't you will need to get inside the speakers and put an RF filter in the circuit(s), (not recomended for newbies)

Power ratings of power supplies and amplifiers? by petematein electronics

[–]spainguy 2 points3 points ago

How is the peak rating defined?

Usually Watts at a specific distortion + marketing factor

500W momentarily

It's a can of worms measurement, dependent on the storage capacitors in the ( linear) power supply.

Basically the only real rating is true RMS

No, badly built, you can hear a person fart next door, thermally crap, built to the lowest possible standards.

I was lucky and managed to sell mine.

Probably MSF then

[–]spainguy 4 points5 points ago

That's probably WWV, so you would have to simulate the signal, but the clock probably only update a couple of times a day. Jamming the WWV signal could be highly expensive for other people in your vicinity that use it,
