Have you thought about any of these answers? Have you talked to your mother to see what she wants? I have my own questions about the CD player. 1. What is it not doing or not doing correctly or as it used to? 2. Where are you located? I don't need pinpoint, just generality is fine. Might be able to ...

Only reason I suggested what I did was because of the state of the internet at the target residence. If you can get a larger phone or even a lower end tablet, you can use either the headphone out or get a Bluetooth dongle to connect to the original stereo via an auxiliary input. Either rip and store...

Most of the MP3 readers I see are on Banggood or AliExpress. They are dirt cheap, accept SD cards and require a minimal amount of additional hookup to work. Here's one: https://m.banggood.com/2_1-Bluetooth-Car-Audio-Decoder-Board-MP3-Player-Decoding-Module-with-USB-Aux-DIY-for-Amplifiers-Board-Home-...

I didn't think about it back then, but it looks like a carrier controlled off-peak meter. I have an old off-peak meter outside of my house that I need to , at some point, have removed, and it uses a mechanical timer to switch the power on and off to the meter. This looks like the updated version cir...

Does her computer have Windows Media Player? It's really easy to use. You can make up playlists like the CD player and do the same thing. I do believe that if you have the playlist saved and the file extension (I think it's .PLS) associated to the program, you could make a shortcut to it on the desk...

So 2 "new" modules and counters. Anything else from the machine you took to the shop? Sounds like something else is "worn", maybe a weak transistor or some sketchy wiring / bad ground issues that are Band-Aided with the cap in place. As you say, it makes no sense as to why something would not work w...

A happy and merry Christmas 2019 to all.

I suggest reading here, then asking a question about it there as well.

Thanks Sean.

Sneaky little buggers must know when the holidays are and people'd be offline. I usually check in at least once a day, that's why I reported it.

Only upside to spam is it keeps the forum active.

Smoked turkey over real fire. That's been my purview for the last ?8? years. Brine it first (Alton Brown's original brine recipe) and then America's Test Kitchen / Cook's Country version of smoking on the charcoal grill. 18 pounder is usually done in about 2 hours, plus 1/2 hour rest. I didn't cook ...

Thanksgiving 2019

I am thankful that I am still here on this green earth.
I am thankful that my family is with me.
I am thankful for my relative health.
I am thankful for my friends.
I am thankful for all of you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Did that ever work?
If it did, what was your final design?

Land surveying is my profession. What you sound like you are saying is that you want to use a contractor's rotating laser level, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Johnson-Level-Tool-99-005K-Manual-Leveling/dp/B00ME77KH8 and you want to build a logger that can be triggered by the laser in a...

Sounds like a poor design or actual design flaw with said remote. What brand was it, if I may ask?

The thing with the Cell ping is that it usually only affects poorly shielded input cables nearby. If the ping would cause interference of the kind that is intimated, there would be serious problems with their FCC compliance, moreso with the TV than the phone. The standard cell ping has been around f...
