Re: VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with 'bhwollen'
The rep system isn't a perfect indicator by any means, especially if you just look at the green bar and the number underneath it. One has to actually take the time to read the rep comments. ;)
Re: VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with 'bhwollen'
Agreed!! :beer:
Its seems obvious to me BY isn't going to rectify this. He's had ample time to post SOMETHING!!!
Re: VERY BAD EXPERIENCE with 'bhwollen'
Which part of lasersbee's statement is a lie?
The part where he said, "I believe BH lives at home" or the part where he said, "his mother called me when he wanted to order a Laserbee 2.5W USB.."?
Sounds like you do pretty shoddy work. Why don't you...
Ah, I was having a few beers last night. Maybe your right.
I've made that trip 3 times, I forgot how long it can be. Maybe a flight would be better...
But a road trip would be fun!
DeadEYeMo, that is simply the best looking host I've seen. Incredible!!!
A lot of time, thought, and love put into that work of art. Well worth the money.
Ehgemus has got some BIG competition.
My hat's off to both of you. :beer:
Who the hell would jump you?!?! Did you piss someone off? I can't imagine someone just picking you out on the street and saying, "lets jump him". :thinking:
I've had numerous cuts and slices requiring plenty of stitches. Sprained and torn ligaments.
But I guess the worse was the car...
Those pics are awesome! Thanks Aryntha. :beer:
I really hope to attend one of these sometime. Maybe by next year I'll be able to.
Hey Tech, maybe we can car pool, we can take my "cruising vessel" :crackup:
I drive one of these, except black:
yes, smoking aloud.
It came today from PA. It's pretty much as Ash and others have described, but here are a few pics and a video.
Note: In the video I stated I thought the screws might be plastic. Upon closer inspection, they are metal.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with it for the price. Someday, when I save...
Keep in mind I am no expert but I do have built several drivers.
Here is how I would wire it:
Maybe bobhaha, Jacob32123, or anyone else that sees this thread can confirm this is correct.
What I would do is wire it up, and hook it up to a test load to ensure everything is correct.
Using THIS LM317/LM338/LM350 Current calculator I figured you could use this 0.62 Ohm 3W resistor from digikey to get a max current of ~2A.
Make sure you heatsink the LM350. Wire in the 25 Ohm rheostat pot from RatShack as per the driver tutorial. The 1N4001 diode is only to prevent damage to...
Yeah, Radio Shack doesn't have much. I go there very little now. They don't even know what a resistor is!!! :rolleyes:
For most component parts order from mouser or digikey.
As far as the resistors, you'll have to use Ohm's Law to calculate what resistor value to use to get the current...
