    Programming, ARM, and video games.. ? (Learning without special hardware)

    I had this in my fav's, apparently I never made it past the introduction - the hyperlinks where still pinked ;-)

    Help identifying a 5 band resistor

    Way faster than me dave! For what it's worth, make sure the silver, gold or white band is on your right - makes it easier to i.d. your resistors.

    PIC emulator software

    Yes, I had offered to help with the wording of his website. He was interested for some help with two upcoming pieces. I sent him another email today and await a response. Colin does have a lot of information on his websites. I wish they were better organized. He's a good chap for sharing, he...

    Question on use of Python language

    Thanks guys! I figured where the 12 was coming from, but the syntax of the for/in loop had me loopy. Thanks @Gryd3 - that link looks like it will be very useful!!

    Question on use of Python language

    I thought Python looked more relaxed in it's syntax! I did find an error in how I originally posted it - it might make more sense to you now, however, the output is still the same: (I think the forum edited out the white space again) iteration = 0 count = 0 while iteration < 5: for...

    PIC emulator software

    I had good luck Chris ;-) I will review the other site, by our own Colin, if I am not mistaken!

    Question on use of Python language

    Thanks, this is how it appears in the problem set (output below). Don't worry, this is after posting the answer, that is why I didn't post it in homework.

    Question on use of Python language

    iteration = 0 count = 0 while iteration < 5: for letter in "hello, world": count += 1 print "Iteration " + str(iteration) + "; count is: " + str(count) iteration += 1 Iteration 0; count is: 12 Iteration 1; count is: 24 Iteration 2; count is: 36 Iteration 3; count is: 48 Iteration 4...

    Question on use of Python language

    I enrolled in MIT's Intro to CS and Python Programming to help me better understand general computational thinking. I was 1/2 way through week 2 until I hit a snag that I haven't been able to pick apart. The for <> in <> loop has got me confused. Here is a sample: iteration = 0 count = 0 while...

    PIC emulator software

    It looks good Chris. I am currently reading PCBHeaven's tutorial on pic's and have sent an email to the site owner to see if he needs assistance in rewording sentences. Some of the sentences are not clear - the content is there, but the format is not. For instance: << Before we begin with the...

    PIC emulator software

    Thanks Chris, I won't waste my time with it if its incomplete.

    Can someone check this layout to see if its correct plz???

    Is it possible that the PIC clock driver is overdriving the crystal? Your circuit doesn't show a resistor in series with clkout pin.

    Help/suggestion soldering flex cable

    Bummer Dave... maybe wannabe will have better luck taking it in for repair.

    Help/suggestion soldering flex cable

    Sorry @wannabe - it may not be a feasible repair! @davenn What failed when you tried? Did the reflow heat affect the ribbon? Was it hard to align and keep flat?

    Homemade Ecaller Advice

    Very good point Kris. I was going by his press play statement. I agree with your edit and was thinking if the commands from a rc car remote would be adequate: forward, reverse, left and right - 4 distinct "button presses" if you will.

    Varistor+Diodes as transient suppressor

    Have you been able to find out why the diodes are blowing? Are they being reverse biased above their rated breakdown voltage and if so why?

    Homemade Ecaller Advice

    Instead of trying to send audio remotely, why not just use some sort of remote control to turn the system on and off? Many 27 and 49MHz are very common and cheaply had. Chances are you could find the remote control from a damaged RC car for fairly cheap or free and scavenge the remote and...

    Help/suggestion soldering flex cable

    Indeed!! I would suggest the reflow method and tape the ribbon in place before putting it in the oven ;)

    Designing a Time Delayed Relay

    Cool, thanks! I got a little more done today. /* * Dust Collector Delay Circuit * Chopnhack * 2015 * * Purpose: This circuit has been designed to automatically turn on a dust collector when another tool is running. The criteria for turning on the dust collector * will be at least 5...
