How long before transistors reach the smallest size possible? What comes next?

noreply@digikey.com — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 15:44:35 GMT

Okay, so according to Moore's Law the number of transistors doubles every two years. This is all fine and dandy but it seems this can't go on for infinity - it defies logic. When do you guys think we'll hit a threshold and what are some of the solutions in the works?

Flex Circuit help

noreply@digikey.com — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:59:41 GMT

Hello,

I'm looking for some help finding someone willing to work with me to create a very simple LED circuit on a flexible PCB. I have tried contacting companies myself but they don't seem willing to work on such a simple product. Volume also may be an issue right now, but eventually of course the volume should increase. The circuit is only a battery, switch, switch logic, and a LED. It needs to be flexible because of it's use. Alos, I strongly prefer to have it made in the US. I realize parts may not come from here but I have found a few that are. Any help or recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

How advanced of a 3D printer can you make at home? What to look out for?

noreply@digikey.com — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:27:34 GMT

Hello everyone, this is a multi-part questions of sorts:

When building your own printer, what are some of the most important components that must to be high quality, and are there are short cuts for cost savings on everything else....i.e.; converting an old PC PSU into a dedicated DC power supply?

Is it possible to create a 3D printer as advanced as the cubify by purchasing parts from digi-key and other vendors?

Do any of you have any experience attempting to build you own 3D printer?

Thanks

How do I locate the right part #?

noreply@digikey.com — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:42:50 GMT

I'm having issues with a Hayward Swim Pure Plus, salt generator. I've identified my trouble part in my motherboard, but it has no marking that I can see. It is described as a current limiter (#570-1062ND) and it appears to look the same. But, that was provided on a website and it was listed under another system. Is there a way of determining the exact part #??

Sorry for the NewBie question, but I'm limited in my electronic experience.

Remote controlled robot snow plow - DIY + Video

noreply@digikey.com — Mon, 10 Jun 2013 14:05:43 GMT

DigiKey uses CUI's VHK200W DC-DC converter to create a remote controlled robot snow plow, the snowbot.

Snowbot uses motors pulled off an old electric wheelchair and deep-cycle marine batteries.

How to find my Partner ID?

noreply@digikey.com — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 10:59:54 GMT

I am trying to use services.digikey.com to programatically get information about the parts in my BOM. I have downloaded the example program - ClientApp. It asks for a PartnerId (a GUID), a username and a password. I have a username and password but I cannot find my PartnerID. When I run the program with a Partner ID of all 0's and all 1's I get the error, invalid PartnerID. I have called Digikey and no there one knew what a PartnerID was. I have sent two emails to web.services@digikey.com, the email where Digikey says to send questions, but no response. I have looked through all fields in my account, but nothing looks like a GUID.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
