    Battery Drain after circuit wired

    Is there a better battery to use for this application? I was looking for something high voltage but small in size. Thanks.

    Battery Drain after circuit wired

    I have two sets of LEDs off the circuit...the first is an LED Bargraph driven by the LM3914 with an input variation from a POT...depending on how high the POT is turned on I measure anywhere from 40mA down to 9mA (I may be measuring wrong so let me know if these sound wacky). I also have two...

    Battery Drain after circuit wired

    Hello all, Couple quick questions...this is an aside from the LED Bargraph question I asked earlier...I took everyone's advice and got the LM3914 and it worked like a charm...much better than the complex circuit I was trying to devise. My only problem now is that it seems to be draining my...

    Wiring an LED Bargraph to act as a meter

    Any advice on where to get these? It does not seem like I can find them at any standard store. Thanks!

    Wiring an LED Bargraph to act as a meter

    Quick question...I was wondering if there was a way to take an LED Bargraph and connect it to a knob, so that depending on the turn of the knob, a different amount of LEDs on the Bargraph would light up? If it helps, you can think of it as a volume control meter display though that is not what...
