    Inventor Educational License

    Hi Looslib, thanks for the reply. If that's the case then Autodesk figured wrong. I'm a researcher at a university and mentor students, which is within the Educational license remit. It's incredibly frustrating. I've since heard from multiple people at Autodesk that this is a systemic...

    Inventor Educational License

    Hi everyone Does anyone use Inventor under an Educational License? I've been using it under this license since 2017, and have had to demonstrate my eligibility a few times to renew it. This time, my educational license expired on Dec 3rd 2021, but I do not get any option to renew, or verify...

    Thermocouple Amplifier

    Hi folks, Does anyone know of a cold-junction compensated thermocouple amplifier IC that gives an analogue output, and that will run from ~3.3Vdc? My typical go-to is the AD595, but that requires 5vdc. A 3.3vdc alternative is the MAX31855, but this gives a digital output, and will take up too...

    7075 Aluminum and ASME B31.3

    Thanks Metengr, for your reply. I was hoping that these values could be worked out given the guidance in 302.3.2 of B31.3. I guess I'll have to rethink my plan.

    7075 Aluminum and ASME B31.3

    Hi everyone, I have a component fabricated from 6061-T6 Aluminum seamless tube, and a recent study found some limitations in it's internal design pressure at higher temperatures based upon calculations from the ASME B31.3 standard. We currently operate within those limitations, but this may...

    electronic fault finding without schematic

    Thanks for the responses everyone! I suppose my query comes from the fact that I'm often brought a piece of kit that's developed a fault with the expectation that as I'm the electronics guy, I can fix it. I'm sure we all realise how little technical documentation there is with small pieces of...

    electronic fault finding without schematic

    Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any tips or techniques they use when trying to find a fault on a PCB without any circuit diagram. This is more out of interest, rather than me wanting help with a particular problem. I've done a bit of reading on the internet, and there doesn't seem to be...

    PT100 circuit with limited temperature range

    Yes, I'm really sorry about delay in getting back. Thank you very much for all the replies. I think the best way forward is to do as itsmoked said and ditch the resistance device and use IC type sensors. Having looked at some of the datasheets, the 10mV/degC can be easily amplified into the...

    PT100 circuit with limited temperature range

    Hi all, I'm trying to design a PT100 circuit to range 10degrees to 50degrees into a 0-5V signal. The resistance at 10degrees is 103.9Ohms and at 50degrees is 119.4Ohms, so I need to get a signal out of my board of around 0V when resistance is 103.9Ohms and around 5V when resistance is...
