My dad burned out the charger for his cordless drill again. The problem is that the cheep charger overcharges the batteries. It uses a AC wall pack and a...
There are some cheap and simple to use battery charger chips out there. With them you get proper charging curces with full protections without having to add...
I just got an email from http://www.mini-box.com They are advertising their Pico supplies. Alan had already posted one of these, I think it was the 120 watt...

Folks, Bruce has offered his house for RSOH on Friday. http://taomc.com/edina.htm I'll be heading over there sometime before 7:00 pm. -Alan -- - Alan Kilian...
I'll be there. I'm trying to figure out how to store and retrieve things from the EEPROM on my Mega88. I think I'm addressing it wrong. See you there Terry...
I think I can come tonight. Terry, I have working and tested code for talking to the EEPROM. There is (was?) an issue with the compiler library for winavr, in...
Thanks Brynn The problem I'm having (remember, I'm very weak in C, particularly working with pointers). What I need is some good examples of what I'm suppose...
Hi gang, Amazingly, it's that time of month again. I hope the great weather will not prevent you all from showing up and bringing your cool stuff. (I think ...
Bruce, I _so_ want to see your stuff, especially the first 'real' application of the UBW board. Unfortunately, my daughter's science fair is that night at her...
Oh dang. Wish I could see Greta's entry! We'll catch you next month. I just noticed something- not only does my wife's spiffy new Dell laptop not have a...
... I noticed the vanishing serial and parallel ports on laptops when I was looking for a laptop a few months ago. I did get one of the older Dell designs...
I'm looking for a little phone assistance. I've been working on old two stroke motorcycles for years. Points and condensers... phew ! All old bikes have them...
... Sorry, I don't have the time for phone support. :( I made an electronic ignition system for the flame thrower I used at TCmechwars. It used a 12 volt power...
[I think it is odd that I didn't get Bill's reply. I'll have to check my next SPAM report.] ... What was your small scale version? Just get an ignition coil...
I'm always impressed by the willingness to help and collective IQ of this group. Thanks !!!! My small version was a 6volt scooter coil and a condenser from a...
... That sounds about right. Like I said the condenser must be matched to the coil. Too big or too small and it won't work. The "Condenser" is just a 1000V...
Hey Bill.... Is there a meeting tomorrow ? If so I'll be there for sure. I wish I could write code. I'm a machinist and designer/CAD operator and am desperate....
I'm actually going to make it to the meeting this time I SWEAR !!!! I picked up an old thinkpad in a trade... it boots up and holds a charge.. it's newer than...
There is a meeting tomorrow. (Thursday 4/20/2006) I checked the parking page and they don't mention any special events. A capacitor discharge ignition system...
It was great meeting you all at the meeting this evening! Bruce, have fun at the Maker Faire, and please say hi to Phil for me. Here's a little more info on...
Looks like I was so efficient at recording that the May meeting was 4th Thursday that I missed the April meeting. Darn -- I was looking forward to this...
And that reminds me. I need to get the tcrobots.org web site updated with a big message about the May meeting. I should have added a very obvious message when...
