I am going to add a 3rd and 4th for left and right with PWM. and then maybe up and down too how would I read the outputs in a single...

    Newbie in great need of help ! ! !

    I have to ask why you need it continually on? you could change it a little to have it emit 2 codes. 1 to turn on 1 to turn off. simply put if this was to measure if a gate was open or closed for example then when it is open it transmits code "open" which sounds an alarm. the transmitter than...

    Rascal alarm

    another thing to check and this sounds silly but check it anyway, on the back of some of these lights you have a switch, always on, always off and PIR controlled... just make sure its in the right position. have seen people spend money on trying to fix these and its that switch, on most I have...

    recording computers

    recording computers

    yeah I assumed it needed installation... problem is there are 5 computers we use.... have been thinking about cheating though and plugging the install file in, then installing it onto the USB on each comp...... hopefully that works.

    touch pad for fun

    ok so I got an idea for something that I am hoping to get working soon the difference between this guy and my design (he has code and schematic in description) is he uses an earth strap on his and with mine I was going to put a brass plate over the top with a small spacer(double sided tape)...

    so I am going to get real annoying

    I find it easier to do stuff. I think its the fact I don't do much with a baby around, its kind of mind numbing and bub wants to be held all the time. my mind goes blank and I want something to do so I light up. finding something to occupy my mind is annoying

    3D Printer choice

    personally I would choose neither, both come preassembled and as such fixing would take some time. building a reprap or other one will give you hands on expertise of all the assembly so fixing is easier. also print sizes are limited to 140*100*100 and 230*150*140 mm these are great to start but...

    so I am going to get real annoying

    kick it, punch it and then tell it to go away and never return is my hope. worst part is the mind does not work at full capabilities.. you overlook simple things. its amazing how the mind works

    when you have a chance I would like to see setup of this in photo form on our project log page, or PM me a link to wherever you are posting it. what sort of hub you using? what sort of connections you got? what sort of adaptor you using? the reason I ask this is after looking at a USB hub...

    Looking for answers.. don't know where to start...

    howdy personally I would start from the ground and decide what sensors I want to use, if it is taking it all of the PC via USB then its easier find the output use any TFT you have with any microcontroller you know and get it to read the data at the moment I use Arduino and sainsmart 3.2inch LCD...
