After playing the number of times in the FOR/NEXT (1 to 12) the code goes to END SUB. If other code not shown immediately calls Sub Timer2_Timer() again, then cuckoo will play continuously. reloadron - The reason for the loop is to play cuckoo once at 1 o'clock, twice at 2 o'clock, etc. Thank you D...

How many sick days a year do I get? How fast do I earn vacation days? How many personal days are there? Do I get my birthday off? What's the company policy on chat rooms and cell texting? Oh, wait. Maybe those are the questions you're NOT supposed to ask, at least right off. Dean I strongly agree w...

Omron Part Number: A22K-3AC-11 That will give you a 22mm three position (Momentary-OFF-Momentary) key switch. Each MOMENTARY (spring return to center) offers one NO and one NC set of contacts. The data PDF may be found here: http://www.omron247.com/doc/pdfcatal.nsf/DF9EA5245A11B02C86256AB700645C54/$...

Actually looking at this fresh in the morning your code works great. I just don't understand why the loop? When you get to this point: If test3 - test2 = 0 Then GoTo cuckoo You have the condition you want, you have the zero. You could just use your If statement like this: If test3 - test2 = 0 Then C...

If you are still chasing this I came up with something that seems to work. I did it in VB6 simply because I have VB6. I doubt for this there is much difference in the code. I am not a programmer type, far from it but occasionally I have to wite a little code for data acquisition and mess with Visual...

This is how it works in Ohio: A change in Ohio law will allow for a simpler method for calculating the sales tax on transactions. The change will be effective January 1, 2006. You will need to make changes to pointofsale equipment at that time. A vendor shall compute the tax on each sale by multiply...

I tend to agree with Philba. I think you are looking for a simple op amp circuit in a difference configuration, something like this: http://www.bearblain.com/741%20Op%20Amp%20Diff.gif To power it up I would use a simple DC - DC Converter like a Cosel USA ZUW31215 available through Allied Electronics...

@ Dean The 30a rating on those relays was necessary because the systems were usually installed in upscale houses and a single circuit might turn on 10 or 15 spots in the ceiling at one time. OK something I don't understand. Short of using AWG 10 rather than AWG 12 and using 30 Amp service breakers (...

The only potential problem I see is that line of SSR has an inptu voltage of 5 to 24 VDC which might be a problem going directly from a TTL latch. I would look for maybe a 3 volt input SSR? Maybe the latch could drive an open collector buffer and I could push, say 12 V, to the SSR. More chips, of c...

That could work. Using for example an Omron G3NA-210BDC5-24 which when heat sinked can handle 10 Amps. They cost about $13 EA. and then you are looking at heatsinks. The only potential problem I see is that line of SSR has an inptu voltage of 5 to 24 VDC which might be a problem going directly from ...

Outch, I saw the price in the link gerty was kind enough to provide. About $120 EA. for those mechanical latching relays. Those relays rated at 30 Amps have to be substantial overkill for a home lighting application. I see you having a few viable and lower cost options. You could replace the existin...

Hi Kurt Reading through this thread I have a few suggestions you may want to consider. I see you found a nice 600 Amp 50 mV shunt for your application. I had a similar situation several years ago. I used an AD724 Instrumentation amp for my application. The cost is about $30 if I recall. Nice amp as ...

I strongly agree with Craig as what you are asking depends on what you want and need from the providers server. Do you want a Linux or MS based platform? What features do you need from the server side? Personally I use two sites for experimenting and they are hosted by verio.com who I have used for ...
