Re: Home Made Oscope

I have been doing some cleaning, and am thinking of unloading some NI-DAQ (data aquisition) hardware, can I post a "for sale" in this forum?
Moderators, please advise. Thanks.

Re: NiMH cells go dead on shelf too quickly
My 2 cents:<p>Yes, if i put my replacment set of 2500mAh AA's on the charger when they come out of the camera, then take them off as indicated. they are nearly dead about when the ones in use in the camera need replacment. <p>I have also noticed the difference between manufacturers, the current set ...

Re: Wireless Internet Using Cordless Phone

If so, take a closer look at those cable/dsl router-NAT boxes from dlink and linksys. One of my friends has one that has a serial port on the back for...

Re: Green light!
The All red method would prevent the emergency traffic if the roadway was divided and the emergency vehicle could not get to the supposedly empty on coming lane. <p>What if the system gets hacked by collison shop owners, and they get it to go all Green? Anachry!

Re: Ethernet webcam .....
This UBOX dosen't seem to be readily aviable. I did find it listed for 497 NZD (about $350 US), which seem pretty steep, for low quality USB video. for that kind of dosh, actually significantly less, i think i would be looking at a fully featured IP based camera
