Re: Electronics

The problem with using copier/printer hardware as functional devices is the control of your invention. A programmable controller that is easy to use is necessary in my opinion to design and troubleshoot your invention. The controller below is a device that makes that programming and control easier i would think. see for yourself and maybe there are some who already uses it. There are kits for hobby projects, but the input and output ports can be used to control devices.

Many many years back I made an aerator for my bait bucket out of a fluid pump from an Apeco Superstat....................

P.S. I know some of you will remember the Apeco's............

Re: Electronics

Anybody ever used copier electronics for something useful?



Use to collect stuff to hopefully someday do projects. Well those projects could never really fully come to fruition, and therefore loads of junk. No more of that as it eats up time and space that is so limited. only quickies that can be realized in a few days would be realistic now, like the hard drive grinder. Sometime when i clean up, i did not know i had all that crap. now when i do keep something, it has to be very reasonable to get into my small abode.

Re: Electronics

Did you have call buttons and a COP(car operation panel)? Would like to see this thing.

Before i got stuck in this job. I use to draw and manufacture elevator components.
Where did you get the idea from?

Yes every floor plus the base had call buttons,no,no COP.I have all the pics on my old pc if i ever get it working i'l send them to you!
My father loved electronics and he used to be an elevator tech before he got involved with our line of work and i made it for him

Re: Electronics

Nice. Did you use the mechanics from finisher lift?

I had quite a few put aside from old Kyo 6030 finishers to use for PV panels project and glass house ventilation, left it all in previous job. Time to restart the project.


Sent from my iDon't believe in marketing device using Tapatalk

Yes i mainly wanted the wire ropes and the spring roll pins plus some comps from some boards.
Can't remember from which finisher i got them because i just had finished college at the time
and the only way to get them was to sneak into my fathers shop to "steal" the parts lol

Re: Electronics

I have heard of a hack for the laser diode, putting it in a mag light and having a poor mans light saber. I have saved a few diodes but never got around to trying. found this site for all of you do it yourselfers...

Re: Electronics

Think its a good idea to start an electronics thread. Hope there are guys here interested in this stuff.



Here is the first part of an ozone generator i am making from a HV transformer found on a KM B601.

Anyone played with HV supplies before?

Learned a lot about PCB development. Should find something better than Auto-cad to use.

Got it up to 3.5KV i guess. More KV would be nice.

Neon Lighting Transformers are good for making Jacob's Ladders and Ozone Generators!

16-20 Kv accomplishes quite a bit!



PS--stepper motors from copiers are good for building 3D printers!....I've collected a few but that's about it!

Re: Electronics

Those neon transformer are quite expensive. The work very well in making ozone.
I handed a new friend of mine stepper motors from a B601 and weeks later they were used in a CNC router.

PPS--If you do the Jacob's Ladder, DO NOT touch the rods with your bear hands after running it for a while!...the rods will burn the pi$$ out of your hands!...DOH!

Re: Electronics

I thought this was kind of relevant. Looks like someone who owns an iron decided to replace the charging port on their phone...and now the phone doesn't work.

Post some pictures of the CNC router. I've been trying to find the time to do something similar.

That's some nice looking soldering ... but he missed a spot. Almost got the whole thing.

I wonder why it doesn't work? =^..^=
