For me it takes at least 4/5 months

1.5weeks to 1.5 months

What

1.5 weeks is a rare treat

FastTech takes longer

bearing in mind that anything you order which contains batteries will take longer because of policies

Yeah, but for me it's usually half an years

i dont know any local place other than Fry's which is a long ass drive out of town and a ripoff as far as price and selection

I only buy in bulk and stuff that you can't otherwise find

bulk orders have lead times, i havent gotten a big order in yet

how fast is your local mail in general?

On eBay there are some good shops

Last spring I bought hundreds of ICS and smd components and I got them in a week

From the other side of the country

Fuck the EU lol

can get 10x 555 ic for $4 USD on ebay shipped from USA, not bad but--have to watch out for drop shippers who dont actually have it in stock yet

some niggas just put up listings and order the shit from china as soon as they get your order <:pepe_hang:460603218766987298>

it sure is hard to plan a project with month+ lead times

Yeah, immagine having to plan for 6+ months from China

We should get an electronic board

I'm not comfortable talking motors and circuits on a computer science board

ha electricf chair for you're mum

no your

Warning this will hurt your brain

@Ondsinet but we're plugging motors into computers, which are made of circuits

L293D IC has 2 VCC pins, which each want a ".01uF or higher capacitor".
How much higher? Can I use too much capacitance? for instance a shield board for same IC uses 47uF instead of 0.1. are they gaining performance this way or just using them out of convenience?

Does it matter which kind of cap I use? I was just going to use electrolytic, but let's say i used wax or ceramic, is there a difference besides capacitor lifespan?

can't use too much capacitance

If it was for noise filtering it might make a difference, but I guess it's just to deal with the spike when the motors start up

in this case electrolytic it's fine

it also won't bring much of an increase in performance btw

driver circuit for a motor

5v to 20v driver for a mosfet

.1uF ceramic "bypass cap", apparently standard requirement on all VCC pins on all ICs

and that can be paired with a larger EC cap for(i think) decoupling, though that isn't mandated by my datasheet

and, my god man, i've never had to look at a circuit diagram in handwriting before. <:pepe_hang:460603218766987298>

Fag

buy a decent pen

I wonder why my shitty starter kits dont use bypass caps on any IC in the lessons

*Design Note; In basically every data sheet a 0.1uF is indicated as a general rule of thumb.*
*IC 'B' uses two By-pass capacitors, a small value ceramic [0.1uF] and a larger value tantalum capacitor [2.2uF] for example.
Using two by-pass capacitors, normally a decade apart in value is called Compound By-passing.
A number of data sheet require compound by-passing on some power pins.*
**However because of pin density or lack of board space it is not always possible to comply with the data sheet.**
