Getting Ideas
Posted: Sat 6 May, 2006 | Author: Lyle | Filed under: General, Own Business, Thinking About..., Work-related |3 Comments »OK, another in my “this is a slightly odd request” line of posts.
I’ve got an idea, involving setting up some electronics (nothing complicated – probably (bear in mind my lack of knowledge on this score) but I know sod-all about it) along with some ultra-bright white LEDs. Probably 4, or maybe 8, along with a power source (I’m thinking probably AA batteries) and ideally a touch-sensitive switch.
Although the touch-sensitive is the nice-to-have part, and a normal thumbwheel switch would probably do the job just as well – it’d just be slightly more work than figuring a capacitance-based touch-switch.
Anyway, if anyone who’s good at knocking up that kind of simpleish circuitry were to leave a comment, I’ll get back in touch with the idea, and we can see where it goes from there.
Thanks.
Oh I could dust off the electronics I did at A level, many moons ago, let me have a think and get back to you. Maplin are ur best place for components btw.
Yeah, the components I’m cool with – it’s the “putting them together into something that works” that stumps me…
All in, I reckon the stuff I want will cost <£10 from Maplin – already looked, don’tchaknow…
do me a favour, let me know what components your looking at and I’ll see if I can help more. U’ve got my work email addy now
