jaclplus er en komponent hvor du kan styre bruger adgang langt mere avanceret end de joomla gængse (public, registered, special) i kan læse lidt om komponenten http://www.byostech.com/content/view/8/12/ men er der nogen der har erfaring med denne komponent. umiddelbart ser det ud til @ være en komponent bryllup.dk kan bruge når de vil indføre brugerbetaling  Board index Joomla!

PWM frequency and DC motor speed

i experimenting powering dc motors, , seeing don't understand. i running 24 volt motors.  did test several different pwm frequencies.  frequencies, sent motors 9v (verified on voltmeter).  using "phase correct" or "dual slope" pwm. at 31khz pwm frequency, motors didn't move. at 3.9khz, moved @ moderately slow speed. at 490hz, spun quickly! i verified frequencies voltmeter. also, running motors @ 3.9 khz non-arduino controller (i didn't build other controller, able verify pwm frequency oscilloscope) - motors spun faster arduino sending them 3.9 khz, not fast when send them 490hz. what explain this? if matters, controlling them pololu drv8801 motor controller. i'm no expert, intuitively seems correct me. motor surely needs time react high part of pulse start moving, , if high time's short motor won't react. i assume there's reason arduino frequencies 490 , 980hz: presumably work enough purposes.

ARDUINO ET IC CDP68HC68P1

bonsoir à tous, je vous expose mon problème sur un projet sur lequel je suis entrain de travailler : j'ai plusieurs ic cdp68hc68p1 ( doc ic cdp 68hc68p1 )  qui traînent chez moi et dont je voulais tester leurs fonctionnalités avant de pouvoir les utiliser pour des projets plus concret. je me suis dit que j'allais créer un petit banc de test à ic, cela me permettraient de voir ou revoir la liaison spi, voir d'autre chose, ben je suis servi. pour ce faire, j'ai utilisé une petite board arduino uno, utiliser la librairie spi sous arduino pour communiquer avec cet ic les entrées / sorties de l'ic je les ai reconnectés sur le port pd de la carte arduino ( schema de la carte arduino ). j'ai aussi réalisé le code (pour l'instant que la partie écriture sur l'ic => donc les i/o sont déclarée en sortie) - voir le code en annexe j'ai aussi créer un projet github pour ce que ca vous intéresse de le compléter : https://github.com/philouxy/arduino_ic6

Problème avec code de trappe de poulailler

bonjour, à vous, j'ai un soucis avec mon code d'ouverture de ma trappe de poulailler. j'utilise un module l298n, un capteur de luminosité et un arduino uno  pour actionner mon moteur dans un sens ou dans l'autre. en fontion d'un seuil de luminosité ( ici 800), le moteur doit ouvrir la trappe, s'arrêter 19 secondes plus tard et attendre gentiment le soir pour refermer et s'arreter à nouveau 19 s plus tard. j'envisage d'utiliser des contacteurs de fin de course, mais je voulais d'abord introduire les notions de temps pour gérer les arrêts. ca fait plusieurs heures que je cherche, mais je m'arrache les  cheveux . pouvez vous me mettre sur la voix , sil vous plait merci beaucoup //************************************************// //  ouverture d'une trappe de poulailler //  zimmermann frédéric //  18 01 2015 //************************************************ unsigned long intervaltravail = 19000; unsigned long temps ; int pinlumier

Thread: 9.04 -> 9.10 Distribution Upgrade freezes

hello, trying upgrade kubuntu 9.10, distribution upgrade tool freezes in step "getting new packages". says 99% complete, fetching file 1180 of 1180. has been in state 2 hours now, nothing seems happening. top shows "karmic" process running @ low cpu usage (about 1%), no wait, no network traffic. should kill upgrade , try run again? how prevent happening again? so, bid advice, restarted distribution upgrade, got beyond "freeze point" time, crashed during installation of new packages resulting restarting of computer. has loaded after restart not looks kubuntu 9.10 @ all. in fact not anything. see black screen, no taskbar, no background, no sound, dozen error messages. seems need complete reinstall, hope can manage download , burn cd image console. nice job friday. question: why important you, developers, rush release, when not ready? thought stability priority you!

Power for a Hard Drive - Raspberry Pi Forums

PWMming high powered leds smoothly

hi - wasn't sure whether right place ask feel free tell me i'm wrong. i'm trying dim high powered leds using rf520 (these 3v 1a leds) , and coming across 2 problems: 1) leds not fading black entirely. @ around 2% brightness switch off. pretty low still noticeable. i'd try , achieve smoother fade black if possible. 2) don't seem able achieve non-linear dim looks better eye. have both log , sine wave equations in there , work lot better straight linear can't seem make dim curve steeper (i.e. dim more @ start , faster @ end). leds though @ full brightness until halfway through fade. :-( i don't know if because of hardware or code. here snippets of doing: log code: [select] const int _pwmintervals=14660; float _r; static int _interval=0; unsigned int _logxfactor=2; static float _auto_power=0; if (_interval<=_pwmintervals){     _interval++;     _auto_power=pow(_logxfactor,(_interval/_r))-1;     analogwrite(led,auto_power); } sine code: [select] while

Serial Print in produzione...

ciao, per effettuare debugging e test del mio codice naturalmente utilizzo il serial.print che mi stampa un log di informazioni che mi possono essere utili definire errori o problemi. quando tutto il sistema sarà in produzione (cioè all'interno di un mobile sotto l'acquario), probabilmente parte di queste informazioni verranno mandate via rete ad un server casalingo. il dubbio è: vale la pena mantenere il serial print quando il software è finito? come possibili svantaggi vedo che: - rallenta l'esecuzione del codice - aumenta la computazione e lo sfruttamento dell'hardware inutilmente - stampa su una porta seriale inutilmente, dato che nessun monitor è attaccato come vantaggi vedo: - se ho un problema ed attacco l'arduino al pc, ho velocemente il log "al suo posto" per effettuare debugging - magari posso dire ad arduino di memomizzare queste informazioni dentro una sd o cose del genere? anche per avere uno storico in caso di problemi. voi che ne d
