    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    I will guess that if you have either a battery-operated TV or monitor (if there is such an animal), that the 120 vac ps that came with the unit can be used for both operating the unit and for charging the device's battery pack or discrete cells installed by user. The vac to dc inverter/charger...

    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    Apology accepted. It's no thing. There are a lot of avenues to be explored in this quest. I just hope you don't discover my real obsessions.

    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    Agreed, I will do more research but so far many block diagrams show a power section that inverts the AC power to 12 VDC and no other high voltage sections. It's a work in progress.

    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    RV salvage may be a good place to shop although it seems that anything related to something with RV in its name is priced as if it were gold plated.

    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    Interesting article. I read it and will read it again but if I understood it correctly, I will be required to have a PC as an intermediate control. My aim is to display video that would normally be displayed on my phone's screen without having to use a third device. The video data does not have...

    Battery resurrection

    I paralleled 2 rebuilt batteries and got pretty good performance.

    Battery resurrection

    There are definitely some nutzoids out there. Perhaps they might change the Twilight Zone to the Entertainment Section. I watched a video of a guy's anti-gravity device. Apparently all it does is to cause cameras in the immediate vicinity to turn up-side-down. Very entertaining.

    Battery resurrection

    I'll wager that the "final" product has 97 - 100% capacity of OEM unit. I'm going to try this rebuild process.

    Battery resurrection

    Video title youtube; Brilliant technique of lead acid battery restoration. This guy has it. Maybe a little lead poisoning, few minor acid burns, no health insurance, but his family had food today. I find his work admirable. Forgive the youtube link but I truly do find this video remarkable.

    For Sale: Gaming accessories

    I got delayed but have card in hand. There is a tag with SN19495 1049863. On this same tag is what appears to be a UPC bar code and also the following number, GV-N1030D5-2GL rev.1.0. Something that became apparent to me and visible in the initial post, is that a small bit of the second gold...

    I still have these items and am changing sale price to "make offer." I will consider all offers but have no obligation to accept any offer. This is not an action.

    How to trigger relay with RF

    I am a novice in remote control technology. I am sending an attachment that shows the simple system I use. Available at Amazon. Not sure if it's kosher to reference Amazon. Today's prime member cost listed 15.99. Two remote fob style transmitters, one receiver unit with two onboard DPDT relays...

    Sharing phone data with stand-alone Bluetooth or Wifi ready monitor

    I feel like I may be the only guy on the block not to know this, but, are there monitors with built-in Bluetooth. Say a nominally sized computer monitor that will receive and display video data from my phone's Bluetooth comm system. Seems perfectly logical that there are such components. How are...

    Battery resurrection

    A removable case bottom would be an improvement, but "economists" of the highest order still insist that planned obsolescence is the road to better living.

    Battery resurrection

    Agreed. The battery used in this experiment, I suspect has been frozen, so my expectations were low. Basically, I did a flush of the cells, recharged with new electrolyte, then proceeded to charge. Prior to this experiment, I put a flushed battery on a charger. After several hours, I...

    Battery resurrection

    Anybody have some thots about rejuvenating totally discharged lead/acid batteries? Or better yet, facts about methods to rejuvenate a 12 V battery and its following performance characteristics. Battery University mostly proclaims that once a l/a battery has been so deeply discharged, it will...

    NiMH battery pack mystery

    The problems I experienced that inspired the initial thread here, were definitely caused by the physical construction of the cell holder used in my project. My conclusion is, the determining factor of the poor performance of the set of cell holders that are problematic, is the material of which...
