    Penstyle 5V USB Passthrough Done, Finally!

    Ren - try to find an iphone charger or something similar - it's very possible that your USB port isn't putting out sufficient amperage to get it to fire off very well.

    Thanks for the info and the link to the cpas, Nuck - I'll have to go find the thread where y'all were talking about it to see where they slot in.

    5v regulator

    I look forward to seeing it - I was able to get a boost regulator sample from TI, so I'm looking forward to playing with it once I'm home. Were did you get your caps/resistors from? I'm guessing not RS.

    5v regulator

    How's your amp draw off the batteries, Nuck? I missed your setup - what voltage are you running?

    510 Passthroughs!!!

    We were talking about the tact switch, Rich. I made my own passthrough a couple months ago. And, that's insulation on the wires, not epoxy.

    Battery and resistance calculations

    The name 'transistor' came from a combination of transmitter and resistor. It's more like a rheostat - you can go from a virtual open to a virtual short (minus bias losses).

    Battery and resistance calculations

    And you (and I, since I use one too) are heating them up just like a resistor would.

    510 Passthroughs!!!

    Can you provide a schematic showing polarity markings on one of these switches? I don't recall ever seeing any, but I could certainly be wrong.

    510 Passthroughs!!!

    Beg pardon? Please explain how the polarity of the voltage would have anything to do with the operation of a momentary contact switch.

    Chuck atomizer blowouts! HELP!

    Use the 801 like you would a 510 manual if it's on a mod - get on the button for a second before starting your drag, take a 4-5 second drag and then come off the button and continue to inhale for another second to cool the atty.
