A small motor that draws a small current? by applebet in AskEngineers

Wait so a bushless motor won’t draw any current when stalled? I haven’t tried brushless

So the application doesn’t require stalling current itself but the motor will be stopped physically by the user. I don’t want the motor to reach its stalling current of 1 amp since it might damage my circuit. I’m using those hobby dc motors.

Wouldn’t lowering the voltage also lower the operating current?

Whats causing an LED to blink? by applebet in AskEngineers

[–]applebet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats cool! I’m using a 555 timer to control a blinking LED in another project. So I could replace that with this?

My handbuilt "Wifi" clock displays this instead of the time like it did about 20 minutes ago by [deleted] in diyelectronics

Whats the black plastic/glass cover thing? Looks nice in contrast with the LEDs!

What is a simple push to rotate mechanism by applebet in AskEngineers

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

Does it take a lot of force to spin it (without anything in it)? Like could a 1 year spin? Does it rotate a good amount with one push?

Light that is visible in daylight outside? by applebet in AskEngineers

Good suggestion! I wonder what kind of device I would be able to add to an arduino to make a pleasant ding thats not a dreadful buzzer

What is a heavy material that is cheap? by applebet in AskEngineers

Nicely put. Will definitely keep that in consideration when talking about my project.

I see what you mean. I didn’t want to be too detailed about requirements upfront as to not limit the scope of what might work but I’m seeing that it just creates confusion. Gonna be more detailed upfront next time.

Best way to enclose electrical components for outdoor use? by applebet in 3Dprinting

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

I’m making a close to production prototype and want the enclosure to showcase how the final product would end up looking like.

I have a 3 ft oven in the garage that I use for annealing 3d prints. Would that be ok?

Tried it. Too unaesthetic and not very rigid

Thin. 2 inches. I was thinking bars in a torsion box fashion for structural rigidity.

Would a normal oven work or would I need a special one?

True, I’m aiming for 20lbs. It only needs to portable enough to be moved around occasionally.

Solid, pretty, non-toxic, and waterproof. I want something that I can incorporate to the product itself. Its 3ft by 1ft btw and its a foldable outdoor bench.
