WOW! Fantastic ideas guys. I think I see a book coming out this. Maybe we could call it "1001 uses of Hot Glue in Electronics" LOL. I plan on printing this thread out, so I can try some of these ideas. I did use hot glue once for feet on the bottom of a PC board, because I didn't want to p...

Has anyone experimented with hot glue? There are so many things that I've seen people doing with this stuff. An idea occurred to me while working on a clock circuit. Since I'm always needing a way to diffuse an LED(the bright ones are more like a laser), I thought maybe making a few different molds,...

Hi again dacflyer. I thought I'd get back to you. Since I made an error on the schematic in my last post (I hate making mistakes like that), I wanted to complete everything and have it working, and test everything before I posted it again. I couldn't work on it at all today, but have it almost compl...

Hi Mr. Mims. Since you've joined the forum, I've been kind of speechless. So rather than ask a million questions here, I'd just want to try and do a little catch up on what you've been experimenting with. I read your article on Dr. Doom, and was very impressed with your ability to switch hats. I can...

Yea Dean. I remember reading an article of his that sent a disc camera up in a kite, then remotely took pictures as it was flying. Excellent! I've designed and built several rockets that had electronics in them. I built an off the shelf rocket with an el-cheapo camera that took real grainy pictures,...

Wow! I don't know WHAT to say, except Thank You! I owe you a great deal Mr. Mims.

Yup, that sounds like a good idea to me. I took a quick look on Ebay and found several sources for blinking multicolor LEDs.

One current limiting resistor.

One single-pole, thousand-throw switch.

That's Funny!!!

P.S. When I'm done with the clock I'm working on, I'll post a schematic of what I have so far on this project.

Hi again Dacflyer. I'm going to try to upload a couple of schematics to show you where I'm at so far. I'm working on the display circuit now and hope to have that done soon too. evahle :smile: http://www.postimage.org/gx1CpbC0.jpg Deleted Counters' Schematic. Found a couple of errors, will correct s...

They did a really nice job! Probably would give someone a scare, if it happened to park right outside someone's window, huh? LOL.

Hi dacflyer. I agree with you 100%! When electronics started to switch over to programmable chips, the electronics industry now needed programmers as well as electronic engineers. However, things have progressed to where designing a circuit requires 90% programming and 10% breadboarding. This takes ...

You're welcome guys. I still have the "Engineer's Notebooks" Volume I and II (1980-81). I used to have some of his minibooks series, but gave them to my brother to help get him started in electronics. I now have his "Circuit Scrapbooks" volume I and II. I was hoping that these ne...

Hi again MrAl. Wow, you're sure fast with the schematics!! I printed it out, and I'll look at it tonight to see how it works.

Thanks!

here's a variation request if anyone has a drawing for it... how about a 100 led string (or more) of individual random flashing LED's.. that's what I'd like to put together for house lights at Christmas time. Seems everyone sells the LED Christmas strands, and some turn on and off, but none have th...
