Re: ICL7101 & LM34 temp. meter

If you want to play with electronics assembly that's fine - I do it myself all of the time - however - If you just want to measure the temperature - Heartland of America - somewhere in Florida (If you are further interested DacF I can get you the full detail) Sells digital thermometers with remote t...

Re: Caller id without hydro ?

Roddy - Remember I told you my caller ID was made by CIDCO ( Model JA 60A 18) ? I entered 'CIDCO' in Google and got 463,000 + replies - The first few I looked at clearly refer to the same outfit - take a look - good luck !

Re: cordless phone hack

jimandy, presumably you are talking about dual tone signalling (For dialling) and not old dial/pulse interrupt system. I think you could use the handset of an old cordless OK but I note that you want a computer to do the off-hook and dialling ? Two or three years ago (I can't really remember years w...

Re: Caller id without hydro ?

Roddy,
Sorry ! - on re-reading your message I see that you referred to the 'phone' - This isn't a phone with a caller i/d/ feature - it's a small, self contained, separate unit from the phone B

Re: Caller id without hydro ?

Roddy, It was made by CIDCO International - Cidco Model # JA 60A 18 - Made in Thailand - It holds four x AAA cels (Presumably to fold up the 50 stored phone numbers in memory) and is kind of a small model - about 3.1/2 x 3 x 1.1/2 inches . I got it free from South Western Bell (Now Southern Bell Co)...

Re: Caller id without hydro ?

When I signed up for caller i/d (Which is now a robber/exorbitant level of close to $10.00 /month) I got a free unit which is powered from the phone line - It remembers about fifty phone numbers

Re: Science Fair

I find it interesting that you were able to observe the falling time differences between the two ping pong balls - Over what distance was the measurement done and what were the observed times ?

Re: "Perfect" LED current limiting challenge

" I Guess reading isn't your strong suit " - You ignorant clown - I read your portion about the 9 volt battery - More to the point - how come you said 80% efficiency first time then, after I gave you a tutorial on how to calculate it (I remember from last year or earlier this year, that yo...

Re: solarenergyandbeyond

This is just an idea for free heating - If you were able to bury a coil in the ground at such a depth as to be able to find a reasonably increased temperature then you could bring an insulated pipe up from the high end of it (The highest end if you had the coil slightly sloped) - connect this into o...

Re: "Perfect" LED current limiting challenge

80% efficiency ?? 20 mA at 3.1 volts divided by 12.5 mA at 9.0 volts looks to me like 55% efficiency
