Folks, I've decided This is another project I'm never going to finish, so I'd like to let someone else take a shot at it. I have an Atari System-I "Marble...
Yeah, I've got the same problem with an actual tuner. I have the old Magnavox boombox with the big middle speaker with SW1 & SW2. The FM tuner was AMAZING. I'd...
I have not tried this method, but I heard the secret is to fill it with Vaseline after cleaning it. The reason the control gets scratchy is that oxygen is...
Dielectric grease may be better then Vaseline. I used it when installing new plug wires on my car. I have no idea what the difference between it and Vaseline...
Jeff and Pete, I tried to solder the OSMC PCB with a nice temperature controlled weller soldering iron, but I could not get it hot enough even after holding...
We had a solder gun when we were kids. I haven't used one in the latter half of my life. My opinion is that is up to you to decide. Decide which of the two (if...
... could ... I would recommend keeping the 100/140 watt one. I use mine a lot of times. They are handy for heavy motor wires and for soldering wires to the...
... Which joints are you trying to do when this happens? What kind of solder? I've got an inexpensive 30 watt (CSI 1A) soldering station that did most every...
... I recently taught some classes in Robotics at work and one of my students had a similar issue. (We were assembling Freeduino's) As it turned out the ...
Last week, I got the serial communications working through the radio by adding a 10ms delay between characters. It shouldn't be necessary, but it works, so...
... I worked on my OSMC motor driver problem last week. Since I haven't done anything with it since then I will probably work on that again tonight. -- Jeff...
... As it turns out, it took use of both irons at once to get a good joint on the 12 gauge battery and motor lead wires. I tinned the ends of the wire first...
I snagged a tray (35) of the heatsinks I mentioned before, so I'll bring those next week. I also have a big box of 10 and 12 gauge wire fragments, courtesy of ...
Hi Pete I'll take 4 of the battery packs if I can have them. Thanks Terry Schumacher ________________________________________ From: tcrobots@yahoogroups.com...

I have a box of "finger cots" to give away. They are used to protect your fingers when working on stuff. I also have other stuff and I guess I'll have to start...
... Bill, We've already got that on the tcrobots page. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/tcrobots/database Use it if you don;t want to set up something else. ...
There are two approaches and both sides have their defenders. Some people like the big pencil soldering irons, because the tips are bigger and they hold more...
Alls I know is that a temperature controlled Weller does NOT WORK for joints connected directly to the OSMC's ground plane. ________________________________ ...
Folks, I've gotten some more information about MAKE: day. I gave one parking voucher to Jeff S, and I have one more for someone at RSOH on Friday. (It'll be an...
Bill, I would bet we'd do the usual: People show up, sit down and talk to people about their robots. If you want to make table runners, I think that would be...
... I think I'll just "wing it". The more helpers I get the more kids that can be making them at the same time, however on the other hand I don't know how much...
... I might be talkin' crazy here, but I doubt that you can use a member voucher. Since it is a special event, they will be collecting $12 as you enter. Unless...

... I meant I'd pay the $12 when I enter, and then get $7 back from the Science Museum box-office as I enter the museum. That's always worked in the past, so I...
It looks like I'll have to drive to the cities on both the 12th and then again on the 13th to pick up more auction items. The current plan is to go to ROSH on...
... http://www.metcal.com/products/mx5051 The ground plane is a big heat sink so it will be a challenge. On my 400 amp controller I had similar issues but the...
I unpacked the table runner box and assembled one unit and then started taking inventory. Parts list per unit 3, 1 x 3/32 O-ring 8, 4-40 x 1-1/2 inch bolts 8,...
