I know people say it about the waiting times on futurelec, but honestly, i've had an order in since November 28th and i'm still waiting on a common item (piezo buzzers?). I emailed them and got an answer the first two times, but they haven't bothered responding to any more. I needed the parts for school but i ended up just ordering from Jameco and they got here in two days, everything was alright except no ceramic caps, an extra bag of switches (mostly dip switches), the "pot assortment" is all trimmer pots, and resistor assortments that were either 470k or 6.8ohm. Anyone know a company that doesn't gently caress up constantly?

clredwolf posted:Jameco grab bags are amazingly good deals. My only beef is that they tend to leave out some useful stuff from them. For example, my resistor bag has not a single resistor above 800k (although I have some 1Mohm resistors around). My pack of linear ics had 11 apple II sound chips. I wish i knew how to use them. I also got 26 hex inverters which make easy oscillators.

Finally got my Futurlec stuff. The Linear IC grab bags had alot of common ics (alot of voltage regulators though) , but all the grab bags are organized and labeled into smaller baggies. Cool, I hate sorting stuff!

I had three different things in mind: Yes! Can you do pwm or how to control a motor? I tried hooking up a pwm circuit to a motor but all it did was flip back and forth, rather then moving in one direction.

mtwieg posted:In the interest of giving this thread another jolt, I'm considering giving another series of lessons/tutorials. If you didn't catch my first one on switching power supplies, it starts on page 12 and goes until page 15. As far as subjects go, I have a few ideas: The effects or resonance one would be good. The effects one could gain some ML interest too, as there's people asking about effects a lot there. Musicians should know what's going on in those little boxes!
