    SAY WHAT!?!?!?!?

    Want to read some clueless and scary stuff? Go here... ... and read the short thread about not having a 240VAC receptacle by Amar Sew and the reply by Allen McKinney. :eek: I wonder if this guy is still alive? :rolleyes: Chris

    Who-da Thunk?

    I want to preface this with a bold statement.... I have just about every configuration of RS232 cables and adapters known to man and I have them in duplicate x 10. This morning the wife says.. "Gee, this is odd. This month you didn't buy a single China - Ebay item". That got me to thinking...

    A Welcome to EP For AudioGuru

    Audioguru, welcome to EP. Are you still as crotchety as you were on that other forum that I don't mention here? For those of you that don't know Audioguru (AG), he's exceedingly proficient in audio design spanning from vacuum tubes to solid state but he has spent a lifetime honing the most...

    Wives Say The Damnedest Things!

    So my wife buys a new plastic shower curtain that employs embedded magnets to hold it snug to the tub. She takes a shower and tells me she thinks she put it up backward because the magnets aren't holding it firmly to the tub. Sure enough when I take a shower I see these weak little suckers don't...

    Was, Were, Wasn't and Weren't

    This topic is truly pointed at members with far to much free time (like me) to ponder what most would consider anal. Especially when you consider that a few decades of smart phone texting has inflicted damage to the English language equivalent to the evolutionary aftermath of an apocalyptic...

    The Day The Symbol Changed

    Somewhere over the past 60 years, ... possibly in between the Vodka's, Gin, Wine, Beer and wacky weed I seem to have missed the 'Symbol Change Memo' of what we used to call "Chassis Ground". The term "Chassis Ground" also morphed a bit with the advent of the PCB. This naturally gave birth to the...

    Rotary Switch Source

    Often we get requests for Rotary Switches. So when one of my favorite sources, they're just up the road from me, added these to their product line I thought I'd post it here. Chris http://www.mpja.com/12-21-15.asp?r=306686&s=9

    I've Just Been Spanked!

    OK, so Dave had to close a thread yesterday, or maybe it was today?? Not sure but it isn't that important when he did it. The only thing important is WHY he did it. He did it because there are certain members, of which I am one, that have been guilty of veering off topic into what should be...

    Serial Port Monitor (Data Logger)

    I had to make a decision of what section of the forum I was going to post this in. The Resources section would have been a logical choice but I think only the Mods have access rights to it. So, I'm posting this very useful tool here in the Microcontroller section, as this is where it would find...

    Dancing Piezo

    I was googling Piezo data and found these on YouTube. The first one is a hoot, hence the title of this topic. The second is a long video but it's worth watching Quartz Crystals being manufactured in 1943. Enjoy, Chris

    Bike Horn

    Ok, so I buy two Chinese bike horns on ebay. One has a brand name of "RockBros" and another that's generic but identical to the RockBros model. Originally, I was going to start this topic in our uC section for those that may be interested in doing what I plan to do. That being,.. replace the uC...

    PIC emulator software

    Some months ago I posted that I was going to attempt to lessen my dependency on Picaxe and move over to PicBasic. Since that time and after reading copious amounts of PIC articles I decided to bypass Basic, C, C++ or any other language in favor of ASM. It wasn't long before I came to the...

    WDTV LIVE PLUS

    Anyone using this? I use one along with a SiliconDust (HDHR4-2US) network tuner to pipe OTA TV over my home network. The system works well but the WDTV Live Plus lacks (integral) DVR capabilities to pause, playback, etc. Since the WDTV does have 3 USB ports I'm curious if there's any any third...

    Uploading Schematic In Firefox

    It's been a while since my last post. The forum's layout has changed and I'm now using Firefox. I aborted a post because when I clicked "Upload File" nothing happens! What gives? Chris

    Does Your Wiring-Soldering Look Like This?

    While searching designs of LC oscillators for another thread here I stumbled upon this example of point to point wiring. http://www.classeradio.com/vfo.htm I would highly recommend that anyone that is wiring at this level of expertise (or lack of it) spend a whole lot time practicing. I...

    Anyone Else Read This?

    You have to read all the way down to the sentence prior to the last to get any meaningful data.... and even then it's meager. . http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/this-could-be-big-abc-news/teen-invents-flashlight-could-change-world-182121097.html?vp=1 Chris
