    Slightly different approach to a dual stage quad SSC

    I finally completed my own little quad P4 after many hours of frustration... It isn't quite what I had planned (was planning triple stage) but I'm quite happy with it anyways. I just figured someone else might find this helpful so I thought I'd post what I did. This is by no means an original...

    My Shark let out its magic smoke. I think.

    It seems my first attempt at building a custom LED light has failed (quad P4). After soldering in the VIN and GND to the Shark I hooked up an 18650 and proceeded to check that it put out 22V. The moment I touched the second probe to the led+ via (or -, can't remember) a small puff of smoke rose...

    Making a list on what I need for my quad Seoul, stuck on heatsink

    For the last couple of weeks I've been thinking about and looking at the different options there are for building one of them sweet quad Seouls. I've (finally...) settled on the powersource, host (Mag2C), reflectors etc but I'm not sure what to do when it comes to the heatsink. I've been...

    Apparently math is a problem for the people at Verizon

    I just had to post this youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gp0HyxQv97Q&eurl= Synopsis: Verizon employees never finished school. According to them there is NO difference between 0.002 cents and 0.002 dollars. Example: Customer: "Do you recognize there's a difference between one dollar...

    Disregard

    edit: Disregard. I came across JAL which is a high level language for programming microcontrollers that I can actually understand. I had it working in a couple of hours, YAY :)

    Need help identifying a couple of tools (bigish pics)

    My father found these lying around but he was unable to identify them. Any ideas? If you need higher res pics just ask. Tool #1: The different parts can be screwed together except the piece on the left. The label states that it was made in Eskilstuna here in Sweden and I assume the two names...

    Mag85+shoddy soldering+tv = laugh

    So I was sitting there having a bite to eat when I started to smell something funky. At first I thought it was someone burning something outside, BBQ season is in full swing after all. But then for some reason I started thinking about the threads I've read about catastrophic failure with...

    Suggestions on how to power a couple of CCFL tubes with batts?

    I know this isn't strictly a flashlight but I figured this was the best place to ask. Today I received a few CCFL tubes that I got on sale. I was thinking of putting them to use as movable work lights. The tubes in question are these: http://www.sunbeamtech.com/PRODUCTS/CCFL.HTML Says on the...

    Bodged together 2-stage pill for pen laser

    I just completed this amazing piece of art and I had to share it with you guys ;) This is a simple little "pill" that you drop into the tailcap of your laser (GLP-105 in my case) which will turn the tailcap into a two stage switch. Keep it lose for low and tighten for high. When not tightened...

    Your thoughts regarding the "Barr and Stroud" safety goggles?

    Just wondering what you guys make of these. I just got a pair and shining my greenie (105 with a slightly upped pot) through them seems to let little to no light through to the other side. So they must be doing something :) For the price I just went ahead and bought a pair without checking up on...

    Small pointer powered by single AA or equiv., is there such a thing?

    Hi First post in this part of the forums so I'm sorry if I'm breaking any unwritten rules. I'm trying to find a cheap, red (<5mW) pointer that is compact and runs on a single AA, AAA or even a CR123. The only ones I've found so far either use two cells making them very long or have a bunch of...

    Flashlight in the movie "Jason X"?

    Flashlight in the movie \"Jason X\"? Last night I re-watched the cinematic masterpiece that is "Jason X" Last time I watched it I wasn't quite as interested in flashlights as I am now and didn't think much about the lights they used, this time I did I saw this weird contraption. Surely it...

    Is this an ok PIC-programmer?

    I had one of my crazy impulses again and thought I should play a bit with PICs. It just seems like a fun thing to try. So I hit google and started reading tutorials. Then I realized that I need a programmer for this aswell... So then I went to Ebay to see if there was anything cheap available...

    This list ok for the ZXSC300 circuit?

    After trying a couple of the "over the counter" parts step up circuits I'd like to try out the Zetex circuit. pbarrette was kind enough to make me a list of parts which are as follows: [ QUOTE ] pbarrette said: The part numbers you would need are: ZXSC300 3847986 FMMT617 549400 ZHCS1000 743781...

    Built my first boost circuit, yay! But...

    Before I start I just have to say: Damn you all! For getting me even more hooked on this stuff that is I've been lurking these boards for a while now and finally I decided to give one of the many boost circuits a try, just for fun mostly. I'm a complete n00b so I figured it could be a good...
