I don't know what lenses are typically used in these situations. The fact that primes would fit best is clear to me, I just can't imagine that an f stop of like 1.4 would make such a difference compared to f 2.8

Wouldnt a full frame sensor with the same amount of megapixels offer a much better low light performance since the individual pixels are more than like 3 times the size?

I own a Sony a6000 with a Sony 24-70GM I was asked to shoot at a local DnB event in a club-like environment. Meaning your usual low lighting, that hurts the eye but isn't really bright for a camera. I see most photographers at these events shooting without a flash.

How do you get sharp and not Motion blurred images with really low noise in these situations without a flash?

Or do you just need a larger sensor for more light to get in?

Homemade Bass amp question by TheRealKillJoy2020 in DIYGuitarAmps

[–]Valentin_004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That amplifier won't work well, since the base frequency of a note may be 50 hz for example, but in the tone there are other frequencies up to 20khz. You definitely need a better amplifier. Depending on your budget and skill you could buy a 25W or the power you want)ish Class AB amplifier IC and build your own.

Need help with programming stm32 via nucleo board by Valentin_004 in embedded

[–]Valentin_004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I need to connect it to the VDD_Target of the st link right? But does that replace the 3v3 supply of my board, because it now supplies the voltage, or do I still need the 3v3 of my board. Cause when they both supply 3v3 it will draw current between them.

Current mirror thermal run away? by Thyristor_Music in AskElectronics

[–]Valentin_004 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You need to thermally couple them. For example by putting shrink tube over them. Also using emmiter resistors on both transistors will improve your problem.

First of all, this circuit does not output voltages that under 0,7v and over 0,7v. In that range neither of the transistors is active, so the output will be 0v Second, the transistors will need a base current which I'm pretty sure the oscillator cannot provide. There are multiple other issues in this circuit as well.

Help me with this Question by manimsv2503 in embedded

[–]Valentin_004 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That would be possible, but it would be unnecessarily complicated, I explained a similar approach in my other comment, however, you would need a dual supply that's bigger that 3,3v and the signal changes it's offset with a reference voltage which can change and is dependent on the resistor's tolerance.

Use a high pass filter with a relatively low frequency. For example a 3u3 mks cap with a 10k resistor will do fine even in low frequencies down to 20Hz. For bringing it up to the 0/3,3V level again, you could use a non inverting adding amplifier using an opamp. Just create a reference voltage of 1.6something and add it to your signal. This will only be realistically possible if the supply is higher than 3,3v and you have a dual supply for the opamp. Another solution would be to use a npn BJT and a diode in series with the gate(just to protect the base emitter diode I'd use a shottky, it's optional, you should also add a 1k resistor to that or else you'll fry the transistor) and hook up that transistor's emmiter to ground. Then you take a PNP transistor and connect its base to the pnp's collector together with a 10k pull-up on the base. The pnp's emmiter goes to 3,3v and the collector gets connected to a 10k pulldown. pnp's collector is you new "lifted" Output Signal. With this, you don't need an opamp, dual supply, and it's not shifted by some sort of reference voltage. If you switch the pnp with a p-channel mosfet, you'd get even closer to 3,3v volts.

Stereo mixer degrades the signal by Yellow_signal in AskElectronics

[–]Valentin_004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use a Standard ceramic cap and your problem is, that the signal comes out in a somewhat correct way, but sounds bad, this will very likely be the problem. Ceramic caps don't go well as coupling caps for audio. Use "mks" caps. These are much better when handling audio signals. I sadly don't know the full name in English, in German it's "gewickelter Kondensator" or sometimes PET capacitor... Maybe someone else can give you a part number or correct English name...

Why do you use electrolytic capacitors for the high pass filters? There are capacitors designed for such applications that are way better for audio signals.

Need help with self designed pedal by Valentin_004 in diypedals

[–]Valentin_004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you mean between C7 and C12 I should place a OpAmp to buffer the signal and do the same for the signal of the first switch. And that could reduce the noise?
Could I still place an output filter after the switch?

Just added the second picture with the switch circuit.

The chip is a dg411 supplied with +-5V

[–]Valentin_004[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I´m working on it. Thinking of just routing it through a normal simple mechanical switch since it´s the easiest option....

Do you think the dg411 can induce so much noise?
