My first Arduino project was to build a battery capacity tester. I’ve got a box of rechargeable AA batteries, and it seams they’ve been less and less effective. Since most applications require 4 batteries, invariably one of them problem battery makes the rest of them look bad. The Atmel ATMega328 microcontroller has 6 [...] I just stumbled on a new feature of the iPhone 3.0 software — using the copy/paste feature, you can send a full resolution picture in an email: In the picture browser, tap the picture to highlight it and make the “copy” button appear. Tap the copy button. The thought of spending over $1k for the BMW panniers (that aren’t even water proof) is totally absurd to me. Other aftermarket options add up to >$700+ by the time you buy the special F800 adapter frame for them. I guess I just couldn’t justify such expense for something that will only get put on [...] The universal mounting/adapter plate that comes with the Givi E370N top case gives many options for bolt placement, but, unfortunately the rest of the hardware is inadequate to work on BMW F800ST luggage rack. My goals for the install: No drilling/modification of the luggage rack Researched tank-less hot water heaters and their voracious demand for natural gas. Decided to go for the Takagi T-K3-OS because: 1) it is for outdoor installation — no fancy exhaust flume required, and 2) its *minimum* BTU rating of 11K was one of the lowest I’d seen (considering that the maximum side was more than [...] Never realized how easy it is to duplicate a directory tree from one machine to another through the network without building an intermediate tarball and finding room for it and the original files all at the same time. Simply pipe the tar command through ssh and untar it on the fly. For example, suppose we have [...] The Via Epia mini-ITX boards are some of the lowest power around. Epiacenter.com has a power simulator that’s good for comparing the differences in boards. Although, I’ve noticed that the VB7001G board I’m using has inconsistent results on the calculator — 16.23 watts idle versus 13.92 in “network mode”. Take it for what it’s [...] Update 3: I’ll cut to the chase — this update has fixed the problem for me. It’s been several weeks since the keyboard stopped responding. Over Thanksgiving week, my new Apple Macbook Pro showed up. While it was a refurbished model, it’s the latest generation (model 3,1; aka Santa Rosa) with the 15″ screen [...] Just over a year ago, we bought a new G.E. Adora front loading washer (WHDVH626FWW to be exact). For the most part, it’s been a great unit. Very quiet except during the fastest spin cycles. Twice in the last year it has stopped in the middle of a load and failed to drain the water out [...] I recently helped my sister-in-law by replacing the leaking water pump in her 1998 Dodge Intrepid with the 2.7L engine. It’s a terribly designed engine in that when the water pump shaft seal goes (as they are prone to do), the leak dumps coolant into the crankcase and fouls the oil. Chrysler seams to think [...] |
