    Windows 10...opinions?

    From all the reports I have read, its still a work in progress. The entire software industry seems to be moving to a subscription base such that the end user will no longer own the software, just the right to use it for the paid for time period. To me this is scary and a great way for the...

    PCB building

    Good technique Constantine!!! 20 thou trace width by hand is very, very good! Kudos. Especially when you have a hole through the trace, that is an easy area for over etching. This is a very clean board, bravo.

    I have found free energy...sorta...

    LOL, nice one. Sap I am , I clicked and read it ;) Well, its not advisable and the news has photos of what is left of the brave that have tried.... I don't advise it, but when I have done utility connections (and in the rain....) I used a rubber mat over plywood on top of concrete blocks to...

    control system counter up to 9

    Steve, should she be defining her pin's before calling them to ensure their status at start? The if / else statement is predicated on the values of the those pins.

    Wow...he calls it the Scariac!!

    I enjoy his videos, but man some of the things he shows.... I can imagine quite a few people injuring themselves!

    Hacking a Mattel Mindflex Headset for Brainwave Control

    Shameful, but many vendors bank on non technical folks to buy things cheaply and not complain.... Agreed, from my limited experience, it seems easier to go this route for even the simplest things like timing and delays instead of coding them in ASM. LOL @Old Steve - Halloween is coming ;-)

    Looks good Steve! Nice graphical representation as well. What happened to your avatar? Walkers get you?! :eek::p:D

    Why does the current always remain the same in a series circuit?

    The OP may want to put these questions in the homework section in the future? It looks like the reason the font was different is because it was copied and pasted over...

    Arduino vs raw PIC, Atmel etc

    LOL, broken clock is right twice a day, eh? Glad to have been of service :D Good luck and keep us posted!

    Arduino vs raw PIC, Atmel etc

    I thought as much, but it never hurts to state the obvious lest it get overlooked - I've done it(overlook). Re: arduino hex - I should think it would work. I dont know directly, but its logical. Unfortunately I can not answer your other questions, I am one of the newbies around here ;) Let us...

    Arduino vs raw PIC, Atmel etc

    Hi Steve - I meant that since the architecture of the two chips are different writing code for Arduino - taking that hex and trying to burn it onto a pic would not work.

    Arduino vs raw PIC, Atmel etc

    Unlikely, as it seems the pic and atmega architecture differ. What I was going to suggest was using the hex output. I have done that with JAL to a PIC instead of ASM or C

    Thoughts on LED Replacement of 8ft Tubes

    How many ballasts will fail before the 15k hour mark?

    Thoughts on LED Replacement of 8ft Tubes

    I don't think that will work, the clamping voltage is +300V! Glad I could be useful ;-) Happy hunting!

    Assistance with MPLAB C Code

    I appreciate that! Whenever you have time, I was a bit lost on that section so any explanation will be very welcome. Thanks again.

    Assistance with MPLAB C Code

    I understand this better now, thank you! I found a chart as a reference and it seems that the hex method is much shorter to type. bit 0 indicates 'on', why does the datasheet list bits 7-5 '111' and '011' as both being FRC? FRC is the dedicated internal oscillator. I used binary value for...
