I have a chess computer here at home that uses a 6502. Plays a crap
game, and mighty slowly, but a chess computer it is!

In '78-'79 Popular Electronics had a computer chess project with a
"2650", which I remember noticing was a 6502 with the digits rearranged.
Apparently it was a completely different CPU.


Yeah, I built my first computer with that CPU, way back when, probably
around the same timeframe. An 'Electronics Australia' project.

I agree that there is no guarantee about the internal characteristics of
similar diodes. But then this argument equally holds true for the first
diagram - if they all used 300 ohm resistors you couldn't gurantee that they
all glowed identically, just the same as if you powered all three through a
single 100 ohm resistor.

My answer to the original question is -- Yes that should work and yes the
resitor will need to be a third the value of the individual ones in the
first diagram. Yes the diodes might differ internally but in my opinion the
differences will be small and I doubt that you will notice them. Give it a
try.

There's no guarantee the LEDs will share the current equally due to
internal
differences (even between LEDs of a similar batch). You will at best get
one
or two at different brightness, at worse one or more LEDs will be totally
off. Hence the preference to use the seperate resistors.

When using an LED from a power source whose voltage is higher than the

If more than one LED is to be used (let's say three),
each one would have its own respective resistor,
and the schematic would look something like this ...

But if all the LEDs were of the same voltage and amperage
(e.g., if they were all of the typical 3.6V 20mA),
isn't there a simpler way to do this by using only ONE resistor?
In other words, can't it be done like the following ?

And what would be the proper value of the resistor?

(I'm guessing it would be one third of what it was in the first diagram
because the required voltage reduction would be the same but the
effective current draw of the 3-LED assembly would be three times what
it
was before.
So if the power source were 6V and the LEDs were 3.6V and 20mA each,
then the required resistance would be 120 ohms in the first case
and 40 ohms in the second case. Correct?)

Actually you still need the resistor even when the voltage is at the
rating of the LED albeit a small one. It serves the purpose of current
limitation in addition to dropping voltage.

Right. It's the correct way to get uniform brightness among the set.

But if all the LEDs were of the same voltage and amperage
(e.g., if they were all of the typical 3.6V 20mA),
isn't there a simpler way to do this by using only ONE resistor?

It serves the safety purpose, but then you get variability on the brightness
because each LED will not draw exactly the same current. So some will be
dimmer than others.

The second thing is that the total current through the resistor will be a
factor of the current through each LED. So for your example the resistor
above would need to allow 60ma of current to flow through to feed the LEDs
downline. The problem is that if one LED blows out then that current will have
to be pushed through the other working LEDs, which can cause the others to
fail also.

And what would be the proper value of the resistor?
Single resistor value divided by the number of LEDs across it.

(I'm guessing it would be one third of what it was in the first diagram
because the required voltage reduction would be the same but the
effective current draw of the 3-LED assembly would be three times what it
was before.
So if the power source were 6V and the LEDs were 3.6V and 20mA each,
then the required resistance would be 120 ohms in the first case
and 40 ohms in the second case. Correct?)
Right. But see the caveat above.

A better way to do it is to bump the voltage up and put the LEDs in parallel
like this:

+V -> resistor -> LED1 -> LED2 -> LED3 -> GND

You treat the equation the same as a single LED except that you add the Vf
voltages of the LEDs. So for your example the total voltage of the LEDs
would be 10.8V. So the resistor you'd use with a 12V +V would be:

(12V - 10.8V) / .02A = 60 ohms.

But there are significant differences:

1) Each LED will draw the same current, so you'll get uniform brightness.
2) If a single LED (or the resistor) fails, then the whole string goes out
with only the single failed component, instead of going into cascade failure
due to increasing overload.

When doing a single resistor, that's the better way to handle it.

BTW, thanks for crossposting this message. There are many who don't understand
the concept. But I think I'll limit my replies to basics and misc, which are
appropriate.

Advanced Programmable Interface Controller. Why, the P4 at

ACPI is Advanced Configuration and Power Interface - not
quite the same thing.

While APIC allows IRQs beyond 16, I don't believe you can have APIC unless
ACPI is enabled. ACPI has been the BIOS configurable option I've seen on the
dozen or so post-APM motherboards I've setup recently (admittedly a limited
sample; ASUS, MSI, ABIT, Intel, and a couple of others), not APIC.

Yes, there have been a number of switch designs to provide "chopped"

the single scope input. If the signal bandwidth is low enough and the
switch
"chop" speed is high enough, it can be used - but primarily for audio
signals.

You should be able to do it with chopping or switching once per scan.
I've used dual trace scopes which have a toggle switch to alternate
that behaviour. I guess you need a scope with a sync output for that to
work which might be quite unlikely on a low-end scope. However, it
would require much lower swithcing bandwidth.

One would need to add in a switch so you can route one or the other
signals in to the oscilloscope's sync input. If it has a seperate sync
input, of course.

The scan frequencies do not necessarily change at all when you change
the
resolution.
What I said was they do not necessarily change, "there is nothing in the
sync rates that denote the resolution of the image" is what I meant by
that,
obviously you have to fit them into a frame so one or the other or both
must
vary for that to happen.
Let's put it this way - if you're changing "resolution" (pixel
format) and/or refresh rate, then the vertical and horizontal
frequencies almost always change. No, there is nothing in the
sync rates that "denotes the resolution of the image", other than
the total number of lines per frame (and from this, and the
specific rates in question, the timing standard in use can usually
be identified). But no, since the analog video standard for PCs
does not include a true "blanking" or "display enable" signal
(nor anything from which these can readily be derived), you cannot
clearly identify the number of active lines per frame, which is
part of the pixel format description. You (or rather, your monitor)
are always basically guessing what standard timing is in use
(under the assumption that it IS in fact a standard timing).

This is incorrect, there are 1024 discrete analogue values.
No, there really aren't. IF you happen to be looking at an image
which consists of, say, alternating vertical lines, then yes, you can
tell where the "pixels" were supposed to be. Anything beyond
that is just a guess; again, there is NO pixel-level timing information
guaranteed in the VGA interface. You cannot unambiguously
determine the pixel locations within the video signal for any and
all video content. The best you can do is to try to generate a
pixel sampling clock from what timing information you DO have
(generally, just by multiplying up the horizontal sync rate) and
taking your best guess at how it should align with the active video
period.

You can show
this easily on an oscilloscope by looking at one line from a black field
with a one pixel width vertical white line.
Sure, but that's a specific (and very fortunate) case. Again,
there's no way to distinguish pixels within, say, a flat white
field, or a single HORIZONTAL line, so there's really no
guarantee of "discrete" values. This is one of the problems which
has traditionally plagued analog interfaces for fixed-format
displays (such as LCDs), since those DO require accurate sampling
at the pixel times. There is a new analog video signal standard
in the works which is designed to address this (the VESA NAVI
standard), but since it's not published yet I can't go into the details
of it here.

If you really want to get into the details of all this (and I guarantee
you that they're a LOT less interesting than you might think..:)),
it's covered in chapters 6-9 of my book, "Display Interfaces:
Fundamentals & Standards," published by J. Wiley & Sons.

The CCD sensors are before they place a high pass filter in front of it
which is why I suggested to remove the thing and replace it with clear
glass to preserve the focus. Which is just what Sony does for their
night mode. The lever moves the high pass filter out of the way. But
now they also strap the aperture wide open when you place it in night
mode. So if you use it in the daylight with an IR low pass filter the
sensor saturates.

What is the difference between those two statements apart from maybe
pessimist versus optimist.

If there are not 1024 discrete analogue values in the signal what the hell
are there.
Not 1024 values. Take this example: with some older, cheaper video
cards, the image becomes fuzzy with a very high dot clock. This is
sometimes down to little ferrite beads on the output lines, which
slichtly low-pass filter the outpur signal. That means that even if the
DAC is outputting 1024 discrete values, what you see on the line is
certainly not that. You also get slewing in the DAC and any amplifiers
which may also reduce the bandwidth to below that of the dot clock.

Often the bad picture is caused by low-quality RAM instead.

There is an AtoD producing 1024 discrete voltage values and no
ammount "you can't see them" makes them something else. I am not saying you
do anything with them I am just saying that there lies the difference
between the two resolutions, in one there may be 800 and in the other, it is
probably faster (but not necessarily so) there are 1024 of them.

Maybe I will look at your book it would be interesting to learn about the
magic of a device that produces 1024 output voltages but miraculously when
they get to the end of the wire they are not there anymore. :)
It's called a low pass filter.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
 
That's good advice IF there is room, but inside a laptop, there often isn't.

I was told by the guy at Batteries Plus that you have to spot weld
the wires to the battery because soldering gets the battery too hot.
My Thinkpad 560x didn't have a battery holder included.


Screw that... Just install a battery holder for the darn thing so you
can swap it easily next time it dies.

I'm sure everyone is, by now, aware that I had a fatal computer crash.

Fortunately it's all backed up.

Question: How do I restore Internet Explorer's Favorites, Cookies,
etc.??

assuming you made a backup of the 2 folders first, you simply copy them
back, I do this all the time.

It has no meaning at all in the practical sense but I wasn't talking in a
practical sense. The original question wasn't aimed at understanding
things
that deeply he was concerned at to what the difference was in the signals
that allowed the monitor to "know" and react to what was going on in the
changed signal from the PC.
Exactly. And since the monitor does NOT see any
information that identifies individual pixels within the video
signal (even though that may be a convenient way for the
video to be thought of in some cases), this has absolutely
NOTHING to do with "the signals that allowed the monitor
to 'know' and react to what was going on..." The only
change in the signal set that the monitor sees, recognizes,
and acts upon are the changes to the horizontal and vertical
sync timing, PERIOD. To bring up the notion of "discrete
pixels" in such a discussion is irrelevant, misleading, and
simply incorrect.

I attempted to explain the changes in this
signal without the complex analysis that a full explanation would require.
I
don't think it would serve any purpose for basic understanding to go into
the finite bandwidth of devices and the instantaneous voltage when
examined
several orders of magnitude faster than the pixel rate involved.
There's not even a need to examine it THAT fast; for
"single-pixel" details, the output of the ADC may NEVER
be at the nominal intended voltage level corresponding
to the ADC input, except for the briefest of instants during
transition.
