AI Thread Summary
Microcontrollers can be ordered in small quantities from suppliers like Digikey. For specific models, such as the 89C52ED2, checking the manufacturer's website for free samples is a viable option. It's beneficial to confirm if a particular chip is required for your project. Utilizing online electronics retailers can provide a range of options for purchasing microcontrollers. Exploring these avenues can help in sourcing the necessary components efficiently.

Does anyone know where to order these in small quantities?

In my class we're using FLIP to program 89C52ED2 controllers. I'm not sure if a specific chip is needed, but one with a ROM would be nice, obviously haha.

Would be a good start. If you have plenty of time, sometimes you can go to the manufacturer's website and request free samples instead of paying for them.
 

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'

I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
