    3-Axis Stepper Controller

    Hi Can anyone tell me, what would be the minimum system (computer system) needed to reliably run this project? I understand that it would also depend on the software that you want to use as well.

    Need help repairing and setting up this old computer.

    Hi Ante, and thanks for your reply :) Well I'm very close to calling it quits ;D, I'm having no luck with this machine >:(. Yes I've got the jumpers right, and it will fire up just the same with or without the CD-R connected.  I have rebooted it quite a few times and in the end all it would...

    Need help repairing and setting up this old computer.

    Hi Ante, Edwardm :) I've been busy doing many things Ante ;), I find that I am more productive when I have many projects on the go at once ;D.  Well C: is set as the primary hard drive, and the BIOS can detect it no worries, but it doesn't detect the CD-ROM, I'm thinking the BIOS doesn't know...

    Need help repairing and setting up this old computer.

    Hi I took a gamble and bought this very old desktop computer hoping I could fix it, I found that the backup battery had leaked and corroded away and damaged a few of the very fine tracks, it was quite a fiddly job to repair the tracks. Well I nearly fell off my chair in amazement when the...

    Hi Alun, steven :), Good idea Alun ;), I would never of thought of using a swimming hat ;D. steven, yes that's the plan for later on down the track, having a Stirling engine fuelled by hydrogen ;D, but I first must succeed in getting a standard car engine/combustion engine, to produce its own...

    The mechanical construction side of my Stirling engine project.

    Hi Ante :), The way it's looking, I may have to make my own silicon matting from a tube of silicon, I'm not sure how that'll turn out, it could get very messy :o. I think you're right Ante, there are probably better quality balloons that are stronger and thicker, I know of a couple of places...

    The mechanical construction side of my Stirling engine project.

    Hi Ante :), No, I very much doubt an empty beer can will work :(, although may be you should prepare a couple more, just in case they come in handy for some think ;D. Yes it will run with two cylinders ;), but I suggest making two identical Stirling engines, and then joining their cranks...

    Need some electronic add-on ideas for my new project (Stirling engine)

    Hi audioguru, Yes I would like to make a model steam engine eventually ;), and it would be interesting to see how much energy can be recycled using the two, but the steam engine will have to wait until I have made my metal turning lathe, I don't think I would get away with making a steam engine...
