    WiFi for house in North woods.

    Do you have a mobile phone signal in that area? If so, you may be able to use high speed mobile broadband. I don't know what the uptake is like in the USA, so it may not be an option, but in the UK the price has recently come down to a very reasonable level for decent speeds. Just thought I'd...

    need help with the settings on an old miconta multimeter

    Are you just trying to read the voltage from the battery? If so, set the multimeter to DCV - that means DC Voltage :)

    How do I make a removed cell phone screen play a video loop?

    The only easy way to do this would be to manually play a video on a loop... and then not to touch the phone ;). Taking it apart and then trying to tinker with it is much more difficult that you'd think - you'd need to re-write code if you wanted to get it to play video only. If you wanted to...

    Improvements and Suggestions

    We've had some pretty nasty spam get through, so I've had to re-enable the filter unfortunately. Perhaps a welcome thread is a better solution :)

    Improvements and Suggestions

    Welcome to the forums :) Ah, the first post needed before images and links are enabled? I've just removed that limitation now, as that was in place to stop automated spammers from posting links. 99% of users don't have links or images in their first post, so it worked well most of the time -...

    Time Problem

    It appears as though the server had changed it's time zone at some point in the night, which has had a knock on effect for recent posts. I'm going to see what I can do to fix this now :).

    A new moderator

    A big welcome to (*steve*) that I'm sure you will all have seen on the forums. He is the latest site moderator and joins Resqueline :cool:. I'm confident that we can grow this site in to one of the best places for Electronics enthusiasts to hang out! :)

    Homemade controller for PC

    Welcome to the forums :) If you only want to use 2 buttons, it will probably be easier to use a serial or parallell port to interface with the PC - as I think you'd need to use microcontrollers for a USB interface. You could mod a corded mouse if you were able to create an application to...

    Ohms Law defines the relationship between Voltage, Current and Resistance - as described in detail by this article. The tool on this page allows you to enter two known vaules and then calculate the third. E (or V) = Voltage I = Current R = Resistance This calculator is based on the following...

    Calculators Section

    I've added the first calculator up now: https://www.electronicspoint.com/resistor-color-code-calculator-t218318.html Now that I've got to grips with how javascript works, it shouldn't take too long to create new calculators. Just let me know if you have any ideas or thoughts for new ones or...

    Resistor Color Code Calculator

    You can use this resistor color calculator to help you identify standard 4 band resistor values. The first 3 colors are used to indicate the resistance (in ohms) and the final band shows the resistor tolerance. If you wish to read more about how resistors work, please read this article to find...

    Calculators Section

    I've been thinking of ways that we could improve Electronics Point and thought that having a calculators section would be a good idea. This would allow beginners (and the lazy ;)) to quickly calculate common formulae online. Do you have any suggestions for things that would be appropriate to...
