    Any electrical engineers here? Vibrating motor + time control

    Problem I've had for battery powered stuff and Arduino is that they have cheap little 7805 regulators that drop like 5mA all the time, and they have a power led pulling another 10 or so. You can always desolder or clip the leads on those I guess though. Then hook the battery to the 5v vcc pin...

    Any electrical engineers here? Vibrating motor + time control

    I was thinking drive the motor with a single transistor. Should be pretty easy to find one that can drive the 200 mA and run at logic levels on the base/gate. You wouldn't need to reverse a vibrating motor ever, and you could always PWM from fimware pin if you had to control speed. Like you say...

    Any electrical engineers here? Vibrating motor + time control

    I work as an EE. Pretty much you have everything right, you'd want a battery a button a microcontroller and probably one transistor and however many LEDs you want, and a custom pcb. Do you know how big you want it to be and what kind of battery? I'd probably use an avr attiny microcontroller...

    Ideas and Failures

    IDEA 
    Sorry, this is going to be a long post, you see it's a list of my failed business attempts and then a couple ideas I've been tossing around. Failures: 1. A couple years ago: partnership doing electronics educational kits with a coworker. He supposedly had a network of teachers and professors to...

    Read Fastlane, now I'm here

    INTRO 
    I'm currently working as an electrical engineer in the military industrial complex. I have a bachelor's in brewing from Germany and a masters in materials science. Electronics and software is self taught. I've been trying and failing to start small businesses since I was a teenager. Web...
