Info about sending in a time-sensitive mailbag package - Page 1

content: Hey all,So, I'm looking to send in a package to Dave for his mailbag segment. I remember him mentioning on a previous mailbag segment (I can't remember which one though) that if a time-sensitive (I.E. Crowdfunding related) package is to be sent in that there is something special to put on the package so he see's it and knows to open it soon. I can't remember though what that was.Additionally, I was wondering what T-Shirt size Dave prefers so I send him the right one when I send in the package.Any help would be appreciated!(Hopefully this is the appropriate sub-forum to post this in...)Thanks!

Just looking at the dot matrix area, that contains more segments than you'd be able to drive using even charlieplexing with just 36 pins. There has to be something more going on?

timestamp: December 20, 2015, 03:51:23 pm
content: Quote from: w3amd on December 20, 2015, 03:31:29 pmThe power input may be completely isolated from the mains (eg. through a simple transformer) but that system is still intended to be properly earthed, hence the MOVs to the earth ground potential terminal.However, even in some application where there isnotan earth connection, a MOV, for example, across the power input connection, will stil protect against a spike above the MOV voltage but obviously not protect against the whole supply somehow being way above earth ground potential.In this case, even if the ground to that first earth terminal on the connector block is not connected to earth (or gets cut, etc.) and there wasn't the protection there across the input (the one that blew up) the two MOVs in series would still provide clamping starting at 90V in this case since they are 45V each.I'm curious where you're getting the mistaken idea that this system would not be earthed? It is clearly supposed to be earthed! Anything like it would always be designed to be earthed...

But - after watching some interviews on YouTube - he just makes sense.Please watch this AAR (After Action Review) interview first:In the interview linked above, Mr Harris actually does not make a single statement that I disagre with. And that has never happened to me before. Ever! I wish the majority of the public opinion were close to half as sound and reasonable as he is...I hope Mr. Harris' thoughts will contribute to the repair of our world, as it is represented to us by the media today!Again, Thank You very much, Dave.This video is pretty decent as well. 10 yrs old though.:

A very good discussion about "Man Made?" religions, with Sam Harris and the late Christopher Hitchens, can be found at youtube (the video quality isn't the best):.I was very impressed with Mr. Harris' arguments in the linked video (and for me, always impressed with Hithchens' arguments). I don't want this post to be about the topic of religion, but to show a very entertaining, thoughtful discussion including Sam Harris.

Beginner's question about Dave's power supply EEVBlog #221 - Page 1
Forum section: electronics / general

author: helix1
author_rank: Contributor
timestamp: November 16, 2015, 10:04:21 pm
content: in Dave's power supply episode, he puts the current sensing circuitry before the voltage regulator. This means that the op amp has to be rail to rail, as the power supply to the op amp is at the same voltage as one of the inputs to the differential amplifier. If I wanted to adapt this to a non-rail to rail op amp, would it be ok to put the current sensing circuitry after the voltage regulator, but still power the op amp from the unregulated supply? If not, why not?Thanks in advance!

content: Dave, I went and watched the first section of that state of electronics documentary, the Roll Call. And even though I'm not Australian (about as far as it gets from it, distance wise,) I feel like you guys have a couple of really interesting people there, and I'd like to see a bit more about them. (Also, why did noone mention the Kurrajong Radio Museum when I asked for things to see in Sydney two years ago? It's on my todo list for next time.) Well, there's the documentary to watch now, but still, I have to voice this...... Suggestion/Request: please try to get some more of those people on your show. They have interesting stories and experiences to share, and looking back to the guests you already had, the banter and enthusiasm you contribute when talking to them enhances their stories just that bit more*. Or do a couple more road trips with your camera, like the one to the TV station... maybe said museum in Kurrajong? I think I'd really enjoy that. I mean, for example, Dick Smith seems to be a bit of a personal hero to you, and judging by that documentary video, a great guy, it'd make for a really interesting episode if you visited him, or who knows, managed to convince him to hack together a small project with you.* one caveat: going through that TV station for example, everything was new to me, being a hobbyist coming from software engineering and all. Your enthusiasm there certainly helped in making that episode interesting, but it also sped up explanations up to where they went above my digitally-minded head by a good margin. I'm not asking you to dumb things down, just to maybe allow an extra few seconds of explanation for those of us that aren't native to the old analog stuff?

Lets say inside an auto-mobile is ~ 60C (140F)would a thermal imager be able to detect the IR signature from a human if its less then that?I have just completed hooking up an MLX90620 (16x4) thermal imaging IC to an Arduino UNOand I am currently in the process of building a shield for it.Thanksmikey

author_rank: Super Contributor
timestamp: October 27, 2015, 02:58:01 am
content: It would be good to see a video with your thoughts on the new KiCAD, it has come leaps and bounds since the last video, they have built binaries downloadable for their RC 4.0, I am a LT Altium and Eagle user, didn't like the cloud concept of Circuit Maker, so decided it was time to give KC another go and I stuck with it.The applications are split, you can run them separately or from within the KC interface itself, it doesn't feel as tightly coupled as with AD but it is similar to Eagle in the fact that you have separate "windows", so it's not that difficult a concept to work with, everything is linked with netlists, the 3D output is decent enough, again, not as good as AD, but better than Eagle.It is one of the rare times in life that you actually do get something for nothing though! So considering the cost, it's cross platform native, it will do high speed track tuning if you take the time to learn how to use it, and it has decent 3D output, all for the great price of $0, it's hard to find fault!I am not affiliated, but I am definitely team KC!

Entertaining guy, great sense of humour! (and quite Canadian)He's out in British Columbia somewhere.

content: Hi All,Slowly getting settled into my new home and lab and decided to clear out some connectors I purchased from a completed project. In all my years as a Communication Tech I have never seen such a sorry state in responsible connector care in my life.I have worked up North West often and just cannot fathom how bad some people place on the care of such expensive and critical connectors. It is a wonder systems are braking down.After working in the industry for 30 years I decided to get my Cablers endorsement COAX, OF (Optic Fibre) and SCS (Structured Cabling) and I was amazed at some of the stories of the industry that is a bit concerning.https://www.youtube.com/embed/0a5VN52p_vg

content: Great video blog.Thanks a lot, I've learned quite a bit.Apparantly there is a lot of waste in unused parts. Is there an alternative for this? Can't the manufacturer put an extra leader tape on the reals or are they just lazy?

content: I don't know what happens with the waste.What I do know is that surplus reels gets grabbed by traders. Sometimes I meet one of them at ham fests (trade show targetted at hams). Unfortunately I cannot order reels since this guy has too much. He rather shovels some of his wares into big boxes for potential customers to browse. Then he charges according to what it is e.g. Resistors €5, electrolytic caps, mini switches €25.

How could it "accidentally" go off in class?His family will not let the school release their side of the story.He is represented by CAIR.He won't explain what happened in the classroom.His father is a Muslim Activist.His sister was suspended for a bomb threat a few years ago.What a stupid news media we have.Disgusting.And, Dave, you really fell for it, didn't you?
