    Make a Microwave oven on a small-scale

    Having only just dropped into this board, and only skimmed this thread, I may have missed this: Do you really need the power out of the end device that your musings imply? You could go with low-power microwave diodes if you only need to bounce microwaves around a bit. (Ranging, tracking, etc.)

    Logic Works 4 !!!!

    ::: snicker ::: The answer could be, "Yes--provided certain conditions are met." ;) I did download the zip and will see if I can get it running under WINE--hoping that there isn't a requirement for VB runtime modules. To geohad82: What external library calls--if any--are you making from the...

    No offense taken at all. :D I did misread the thread heading.

    Simulation in Linux?

    If I may ask...which distro are you running? My question is occasioned by what sounds like problems with RPM or source dependencies in your case. They can, needless to say, be frustrating. (By the sound of the unmet dependencies you've mentioned, I'd even go so far as to hazard the guess that...

    non logic level multiplexar

    I believe that the 74150 multiplexer is what you're looking for. See: http://www.qsl.net/yo5ofh/data_sheets/74150.htm and http://webpages.ull.es/users/fexposit/74150.pdf Ok....forget that....I see that you're looking for an analog multiplexer now (darned old eyes!), so you'd actually be...

    Make a Microwave oven on a small-scale

    To the issue of making the magnetron in question smaller: You're dealing with physically and electrically resonant structures. If you change the proportionate size of the magnetron cavaties, you'll be--in my understanding of the matter--increasing the microwave frequency of the overall design...

    Upsidedown Mouse

    Except that the X-Y axis motion encoder rollers will be smooth as well, which is going to make for problems in getting them to track the motion if you go with a hard, smooth surface on the ball.

    Construction design!

    I've built some pretty bad looking projects in my day, but nothing on this kind of scale. I'm opting for a low-precision digital thermometer myself--given the mix of what looks like RCA cans in there. A vintage circuit to be sure. I can go for leaning in the direction of art. It would look...

    electronic valve shower, do you have an idea???

    Hmmmm....I'm thinking that a simple, 24VDC, solenoid-operated, irrigation (sprinkler) valve body and head would be the exact thing you're looking for. [added] After some thought, you might also get away with using a solenoid-controlled valve for a refrigerator/freezer icemaker...

    AutoCAD Users

    Actually, the word-choice in your poll assumes that people need to use it in lieu of the alternatives out there, and that not using implies the need for assistance. You have no selection for: "I use something other than AutoCAD."

    PCB Drill Hole Sizes

    Another option is to use equivalent-sized, tungsten carbide die drills. They hold their edge a lot better against glass-epoxy boards.

    Logic Works 4 !!!!

    Sorry. It's an ".exe" (windoze-based). You might want to consider open-sourcing the proggie.

    Iron-on PCB's w/ photo paper

    Heh...most fab shops seem to go out of their way to get it wrong on the first go-around. It's not worth the time and hassle of waiting for it to be done right the second or third time they take a crack at it. My favorite method is to reverse the image and to laser print to transparency stock...

    Simulation in Linux?

    Hmmmm....Looks like a "war" to me, but I won't get involved in it other than to say that anyone who eschews Linux simply hasn't tried it, or hasn't given it a fair hearing. Usability objections were actually overcome a while back, so the "slice-level" generally separates die-hard m$-only...
