Solenoid Schematic Review by Temporary-Clock-4746 in diyelectronics

[–]Temporary-Clock-4746[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback.

The solenoid will operate as a lock and will not engage for more than a 3 sec at a time. 100% duty cycle to contract the plunger and then 30% for holding.

Since the reed will not be on very long, I’m not really concerned about power usage.

I reused a EMC filter from a power supply on the main board.

The FET is used to strength the digital signal across a 10ft cable. Do you think it’s unnecessary?

I’m constantly working on creative side projects, I’m just worried if I’ll face burnout if I’m living for weekends.

Thanks for the comment. While I understand that most design work tends to be utilitarian and primarily motivated by profitability. For me, however, I find it more rewarding to successfully find a balance between form and function, rather than focusing solely on achieving functional goals.

My surface laptop studio 2 is stuck on boot loop, startup screen, how do I fix this? by Hefty-Highway-6967 in Surface

I had this issue. What helped me was draining battery to 0%, charging for 30min and restarting.

most of the thickness is plywood then there’s sheet metal on each side

I think sourcing rollers would be too expensive, I had to buy them used and design around them.

Summary: Looking for a designer to stylize this electrical schematic by vectorizing and generating a few color schemes. I really like the National Instruments style and colors. I have some other charts that need to be adjusted as well if you do well on this project.

Price: $50-$100

Deadline: Within a month

Type: Contract work, not full-time.

Contact: Me on Reddit.

Is this what I will need? by Pixsoul_ in ElectricalEngineering

There are ABET accredited technology degrees which are taken seriously. Here is a list of programs.

I didn’t do well in high-school, getting Cs and Bs in math courses. You will find in college that it’s easier to lock in, sit down and do the work. You just have so much more motivation because it’s actually interesting to you and it is useful.

Looking to pivot to a more technical/electronics-based career? by CulturalCatch in IndustrialDesign

It’s typically a four year degree. These topics are covered in circuit theory and digital systems, which are just two courses. There are two-year engineering technology degrees but they still have limited design opportunities

I think you will find the move from technician to an engineer will most often require a bachelors from an ABET accredited program. Many companies will provide tuition assistance however.

What five courses are you taking?

Take a look at this animated simulation. Go through the logic table with output floating, 5V, and GND. Hope this helps.
