Hi guys-
Thanks for the followups. Good thought on cutting down the average power, cutting down on the holding current and running current. I'll see what I can do.
Cheers,

...Operating Specifications page for the motor is:
http://www.linengineering.com/line/contents/stepmotors/Motor_Operating.aspx
I'm looking for an Operating Temp. Range of -20C to ****70C****, not the -20C to 50C in their specs.
Any thoughts on a vendor would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Rich S.

You might want to point your browser to this link:

Tally lights vary from camera brand to camera brand. I suggest that you obtain a copy of the manual for the camera before doing any wiring. Also a reference to the video switcher will most likely point you in the right direction.
"IN GENERAL" most tally lights are low voltage lamps...

As VE1BLL mentioned there has to be a frequency difference. It need not be in a different band. In the Ham Radio world at 2 meters the split difference is 600KHz. At 2.4 G I am assuming that the resonators would be rather small. Of course, good isolation is required. Don't think that...
...Volts" was a very pleasant lady to work with. Again, except for the check, it was all email.
I did put reference to the article in my resume.
I *WOULD NOT* recommend being an author for a hobby electronic magazine and expect to make a living at it. For fun, well, what the heck!

You might want to switch to a micro SD card. If memory serves me right, the "profile cards" of cell phones are micro SD. If, and that's a big if, those connectors are available standalone, they might be worth looking into. I remember recently seeing a picture of one of the new phones...
To itsmoked:
Sorry for the lengthy time to reply. I've been "critical path" with code that I didn't write for a couple of months now and haven't been able to get back here.
Right now, I'm doing some "run test times" so I have a second!

Hiya-
Just a head's up. I did something like that in the past and I found that although I had updated my picture on the server, the browser, in it's infinite wisdom (even with the cacheing off) still decided that since the picture was the same filename, it didn't need to go out and get a new...
Hiya-
Just as a general note, many of the manufactures in order to limit liability explicitly state that their products are not intended to be used in medical applications. TI comes to mind in this and I've seen many others.
Also along these lines, especially if one plans on bidding a...
Hiya-
I've recently gone to mingw which is a minimal port of the gnu C complier for the windows o/s. I've had good luck with programming the serial port with it. It's a free, as in beer, compiler and pretty easy to set up.
One of the nice things is that I can whomp up an app in C, and form...

Hiya-
The other things you might consider:
1. High level programming language. The PicKit (PicStart 2) mentioned earlier comes with a "lite" version of their C complier. I use CC5X for doing applications in C. The first project is free, then for follow on products, one should buy it.

Although this forum is geared to practicing engineers, well, it's *NOT* geared for students (we spent too much time doing their homework for them), I can point you to a site or two that might prove interesting.

But, maybe some of the aforementioned high speed comparators, surface mount, with a well laid out/shielded PCB *MIGHT* be in order.
Since the rep rate is low (1KHz mentioned by the OP) A PIC can certianly be used for the control of the circuit, but I's...
Hiya-
Well the OP mentions that he runs an electric RC copter as his choice for flying.
If I might suggest, that you research DC-DC converters that with some thought and measurement, can be used to "BOOST" the 3.7V or so voltage from the main battery to the 9VDC needed for the camera.
