    New to soldering, please read within

    as with most things and as KJ6EAD said there are criteria to match. first and foremost there is your personal criteria, then budget, and then the type of soldering you will do. being on a budget means you won't be able to test them all, but maybe you could change the question to "has anyone...

    The newbie's secret circuits circus

    I like information. too much is better than not enough. we need a way of emphasising this. if you tell us the ambient temperature but not that the ciruit is rated for 110V and you are supplying 12V kinda shows why too much info is better than little. I had a few projects at home and at first...

    Arduino - Keeping Outputs Low

    http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardMega/ i know that one has LED13 which is a led on pin 13. I also found there is no way to deactivate said LED without desoldering it. there are others however that use the LED13. the only reason I brought up the LED was the fact he was using pin 13 so a...

    The newbie's secret circuits circus

    with titles the reason I hate the lack of info is because I use this site for reference. If I get a solar hut going (damn cat got diabetes... whole other story but lets say 2 grand for a kitty to make wifey happy) I like being able to come here to people I actually respect, and have a good...

    Bus CB audio + data?

    with the world of arduino and picduino and raspberry pi the way of doing this is getting easier.... if you know how to program, and have a basic grasp on electronics... or a really good internet connection to find other people who have tried this out. I must point out a few fundamental...

    Bus CB audio + data?

    this isn't far fetched. a telephone was used to carry voices, now it carries streams of data. the UHF band for television used to be analog now its digital(that is the same as a computer) the interface is the issue. how well do you know programming? and electronics? you need to creat a card...

    Personal Locator Beacon

    well there are a few things you could try here, the problem with all is remote locations. for example my samsung galaxy 2 has gps built in(as do most phones these days) you could try to get someone to write code that will be a emergency button that can send out high pitch squeals, a sms to a...
