And other squirrel motors on the same power system are quiet as ever.

Substitute another one of as near the right value as possible and see if that stops or alters the noise. (Make sure the capacitor is discharged each time before touching it.)     -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk

arlen holder <arlen@arlen.com>: Jan 26 05:23AM Do you have experience with "infrared camera detection" on mobile devices?   If so, how do you assess the difference between o How the infrared camera detection works on a mobile device, versus o Similar functionality, in almost _any_ digital video camera viewfinder?   Note this question is only about the inherent infrared detection differences between almost any digital camera ... and these "green-screen" viewfinder apps.   Today I decided to check an area for hidden cameras and microphones where the first non-obnoxiousware non-Internet non-GPS-aware free tool I happened to test was o Detect Hidden Camera, version 1.9 o (com.techno95.detecthiddencameraandmicrophone)   The way "it" works is pretty simple, apparently, where o It detects rf emitters using the magnetometer reading, and o It detects infrared emitters using a "green screen" video viewfinder   Based on an Internet search, these tools abound on both iOS & Android: <https://knowtechie.com/smartphone-apps-can-help-detect-hidden-cameras-anywhere/> <https://www.techzac.com/best-hidden-camera-detector-apps-android/> <http://www.graphictunnel.com/2017/09/best-hidden-camera-detector-apps.html> etc.   My question for this newsgroup is only about that green-screen viewfinder. Q: Essentially, other than being "green" - how is it any different from almost _any_ digital video viewfinder (all of which seem to detect infrared emissions)?

"Ron D." <ron.dozier@gmail.com>: Jan 25 10:52AM -0800 1. The adjustment only works in anything but x1 mode.   2. The adjustment corrects the squareness of a square wave. It makes the divider resistive.   3. Probes are designed for a certain input Z e.g. 1 M 22 || pf and freq response Make sure the scope isn't 50 ohms.   4. For the adj, the scope should be DC coupled.   5. Scope could be in UNCAL mode. Freq or voltage.   6. Check voltage with a DC source. Freq: Try the AC line for frequency.

Check voltage with a DC source. Freq: Try the AC line for frequency. That DC couplng migt be the problem. It was mentioned in another post too. Tomorrow I will check things again with the 'scope properly set up and report back. Thanks, Eric
