Maybe that just means I've spent too much time this summer on the computer?? :P
-
When I say disaster, I mean disaster!!!!
I got into a habit of going down there and working and disasemling things, then not cleaning them up after I was finished... I am in the process of cleaning, pictures when it is more presentable. -
I plann on moving them downstairs into my workshop (which is a complete disaster right now) after I finish building some shelves.
I asked for a cople old hdd's and my friend brought me 6 old premio's that he bought at an auction (20 for $5). Kind of surprised me, when I went out to my car and he was sitting there waiting with 6 big paper weights... :D -
I was using an off brand dremel tool with a grind stone attached to it...
Result: I broke the drive transmission, which is only a spring... Maybe since I broke my rotary tool I don't need that drill press any more.
I kind of fixed it, but it is a little bit off balance, so at high speeds the tool vibrates alot. :'(
Someone gave me an old Musket scanner, a very compact unit. Mine only had 1 bar...
And just think, our own modderator throwing out a perfectly re-usable scanner.... ;D -
Maybe I could just take an old clock radio and de-solder the components and then carefully re-assemble them suspended in the air.
I have no room for such a device on my bedside table, take a look:
(My room is a bit cleaner now than it was then...) :-\ -
I am actually using 2 printer rods with the copper bearings...
Right now the project has come to a hault because someone has stolen my drill bits and the ones I have (that werent stolen) aren't the right size... -
Now that would be pretty nifty. ;D
Know any medium compexity clock radio designs? (I'm still a newbie when it comes to IC's... :-[) -
Ante's picture:
has inspired me, but I'm not sure what I want to make mine do...
???
any suggestions? -
Maybe this will make up for it:
Spent last right de soldering components from a monitor I found in a dumpster.
What is left of the poor monitor:
(still some work to do) :-\ -
But think, that $30 I just saved went towards buying more pcb supplies, or better yet, That variable temperature soldering iron that I've always wanted...
In my search I did run across the Dremel press (for $30 as you mentioned), but making something is always more fun? :) -
to push the drill back up when force isn't applied to lever?
If so good idea! ;D -
Here is my design.
I have started building it and I would say that I am 3/4ths of the way done with it... I'll post pictures later.
Comments/ improvements on my design are welcome ;D
-
They went me the wrong sample so it was just going to ly around in my parts case for years... Technically I saved it from being wasted. :-\
-
Some of those free samples from Maxim. 8)

Reason I asked about the leaf blower: found one someone was throwing out becasue the handle was cracked.
-
When I first got it I searched through google results for about 3 nights and found stuff, just not what I was lookin for. The company that used to make these units was bought out/ changed there name or something like that and doesn't make these units or parts for them any more. I was looking on ebay and found the software for this and they wanted $35 + shipping for it (they were just 2 floppy disks).
Just kind of hoping some one in the forums used to work with one or something... :-[ -
How much blowing is needed? Can you have too much 'blowing'? I'm thinking a leaf blower...
-
Glad you like it! ;D ;D
Hope it is helpful ;) -
Recently I wrote a How-To for Mounting a Tele Conversion lense on to my Sony DSC-S40 digital camera. The method could be used for any camer tho.

(trying to fill up this Hardware section... :-X) -
I'm looking for a drill press design for drilling pcb using a dremel, any ideas?
I think this has already been done some where, but why not disscuss it? Besides, It kind of dissapoints me that the hardware section is kind of empty... :'( -
Actually, The only thing I have ever sold are those the pcb keychains and that wasn't even through my website. :( Although they were a big hit at my HIgh school. 8)
That particular copper sculpture is something I made for my girlfriend... Ok, I'll admit, half of those things on the website I made for my girl friend... It was a little idea I had to market them on the internet, so far no luck. I guess I'm not appealing to the right demographic ???
YOu wouldn't know anything about marketing would you Ante? ;) -
A couple monts ago I bought an "Allen Bradley SLC 500 Programable Controller" at a goodwill (thrift/second hand store) for $8.95 (US). At first I wasn't entirely sure what I was about to buy, I was just impressed by the 12 shinny toggle switches... I got home plugger it in and it powered up, but the LED beside the lable "CPU Fault" was blinking... there is a removeable flap and under are two (empty) IC sockets, I'm assuming this is the faulty CPU... Here are some pictures:
Serial interface:
Flaps closed:
Flaps open:
The empty IC sockets:
Info:
(sorry for bad quality)
Is anyone familiar with the "Allen Bradlet SLC 500 programalbe Controller?
Does anyone know what part I need to replace the missing cpu?
I know this is a hardware forum, but I'm also wondering if anyone has the software for this unit.
Hope you can help ;) ;) -
Just made this tonight:
Hoope you like it. :) -
You misjudged the potential.
What is all that potential that we are misjudgeing?
