Q&A Can I make an AC inductor (reactor) rated 75mH 40A from a 3-phase induction motor?

An induction motor with its shaft held still will mostly look like an inductor with a series resistance electrically. However, there will be some issues: It will be difficult to guess the inducta...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

It's hard to answer your specific case since you didn't label the layers in your picture, or which traces are doing what. That said, a few traces crossing each other on different layers is not muc...

Q&A Noise from oscillator on top layer to clock on bottom layer with VCC & GND layers between

What you are proposing may be okay (depending on other specifics of the design), but your proposed 4-layer PCB stack-up looks like a compromise. Clock is a high speed signal, and so is SPI dependi...

Q&A CAN BUS monitoring with a LED

You'll need a differential comparator, something like what was suggested in here. But I'd look for a proper Canbus Rx and extract that to convert to single ended one shot to pulse for activity.
