    ridiculous harvest

    It seems that pineapples (and avocados) prefer coastal, or humid climates over dryer, inland escarpments. Originally from Durban (coastal city), we were spoiled with massive, juicy fruit produce. Now living inland (near Johannesburg), the pineapples and avo's have shrunk in size. Certain grocery...

    Car GPS (in case car is stolen)

    Many smartphones now come with their own built-in 'Locator' type app, the name depending on the phone or provider, but with the same purpose. If the OP doesn't wish to fork out the cost of burying a high-end smart-phone in car, then any cheapo 3G/4G mobile capable of running a third-party...

    Can some please tell me which is consider to be pin1 here

    If you really want to number the pins, start from input (Gate), then orbit ACW as per an IC viewed from component side (top). 1(G) 4(D) 2(S) 3(D) note: pins 3&4 are common, serve as heat sink. In your DT layout, label the pin-pads g s d d and if you want make the gate (now aka...

    Spark gap transmitter

    A spark-gap transmitter is essentially "white noise" being radiated into space, the earliest versions being used for CW morse-code telegraph-keyed modulation. For RF, this was usually tuned, or resonated to a transmitting antenna, for greater efficiency. Back in those days, interference with...

    Terminals and Connector Sizes

    As well as the bare (dressed) stranded wire, forked crimp-lugs, and tinned wire already mentioned above, another method is to first bend the wire into a "sheperd's crook" or loop. Then, provided the wire is thin enough (max 1.85 mm diameter), it follows the entire "channel" around the...

    Changing compromised Login details?

    Due to a recent spate of trespassing / burglaries by a neighbor, I suspect that my account details have been compromised. On my computer desk at home, I had a list of all forums / websites containing my details, to compensate for my forgetting these. This includes real name, website, mail url...

    shoX mini speaker interconnecting (stereo) cable wiring?

    Thanks @bushtech !! I never thought of checking Radio Shack's website. Plan to pay them a visit soon to shop for other components. 0.5m is fine, as it's just to amplify my Vodafone's feeble speaker (outdoors) when watching video clips.

    I need good free schematics sites please

    "Rooftop Sunday sales" are often held at various shopping malls. Not completely "free", but if you're lucky, a hobbyist or tech may be selling off second-hand books. Or as K.E. said.....^^^^^

    shoX mini speaker interconnecting (stereo) cable wiring?

    Hi. For several years, I've owned a pair of shoX ESX101 TEVO mini speakers. These use a 3.5mm stereo - to - 3.5mm stereo for audio out, say from a mobile phone etc, to LINE (in) of shoX. Charging the internal battery is via a mini-USB (picture shown) to standard PC USB 2.0 for 5V DC. The...

    Seek Help with LED strobe “Security Device” for Rented Home.

    Instead of Flash-strobes, sound effects, etc, what about 2 or more solenoid-triggered automatic machine guns aimed crosswise across the rooftop? Then several rows of rollers, which release brakes only when activated, tipping perpertator(s) into a crooc-filled moat, in case rounds miss? Of...

    Seek Help with LED strobe “Security Device” for Rented Home.

    Speaker: A 1-2W speaker should be loud enough to be heard a short distance away, a mylar cone being more weather / moisture / insect resistant than a paper cone. Amp: 1-2W monophonic kit is available at most electronic stores (you'll need an AC/DC stepdown-convertor (power-pack) rated at amp's...

    Nerve/Brain/Muscle spike sensing

    Thanks for interesting input. Anybody remember the movie / novel 'Terminal Man'? As a fan of technology-based 'maybe possible' sci-fi, this now-old thriller was entertaining. Basically, AFAIR, a man has a brain-fart or for whatever reason the neuro surgeons implant a chip into his grey matter...

    Focal XS 2.1 sub woofer, sealant

    Hi LS. Hot melt glue or contact adhesive work best from personal experience. Hard 'Solid' adhesives such as Pratley Steel Epoxy tend to vibrate loose, depending on output power ie vibration. A foolproof trick I did on mine (Genuis) was to drill small side holes then screw head edges clamped down...

    Nerve/Brain/Muscle spike sensing

    Hi all. A thought that has been playing around recently. While In hospital for past week for a Grand Mal Seizure, I had a sensor / data recorder strapped to my waist, with a few dozen sensors super-glued to my now clean-shaven head. Every time, before a seizure the limbs convulse before...

    PWM - Potentiometer ohm importance...

    New Bee, a quick 'n dirty way of checking your pot value, and if its Linear or Logarithmic can be done thus: Value of pot: With ohms on highest scale, measure end to end tag (outer two solder tags). Lower ohms scale on meter until you get a reading. The nearest standard value will be the pots...
