What is this type of digits-only LCD called? @Inga I have no recommendations for 7-seg displays, really; I still think you should find a good dot-matrix display. I'd just keep looking on Digikey and Sparkfun until you find one with good documentation and something that meets your specs. |

What is this type of digits-only LCD called? @Inga It doesn't seem to me like there would need to be more than two logic levels in this particular 14-segment display, as it has such a verbose pinout. I'm still not positive though, because the datasheet and Digikey page say nothing about voltage/logic levels. Honestly, it's usually not good practice to buy such a poorly documented device. |

Hooking up LEDs to a drum set - Fire Hazard to plug into a wall? @MikeGates I'd love to see some footage of the drums if you get them hooked up. Let me know if you post anything to youtube or a blog. |

Low power design - switch out voltage divider using transistor? Great answer. The intro part about error provides useful insight. |

What makes a mic preamp good or bad? I can't stress enough that if this is what you want to do for a senior capstone project, you sincerely reconsider! Signal conditioning, voice recognition, and now making a microphone? Please see that you might be in way over your head. |

Using Mic from 10 feet away for voice recognition Depends on the magnitude of your signal. To increase resolution you would want to apply gain first, then filter. However, if your signal is almost usable as is, I would do filtering first. This way you don't have to worry as much about your gain stage saturating/amplifying noise. |

Using Mic from 10 feet away for voice recognition Having seen a lot of senior projects, I have to say voice recognition is a pretty lofty goal. The signal conditioning alone could be tricky, much less digitizing the signal and then (writing your own?) speech recognition software. |

Op amp analysis: when are the “negative feedback rules” applicable? With an ideal op-amp, the + and - terminals will be equal independent of the op-amp's use in a circuit. |
