Hi again, all. A friend of mine goes to Mexico a few months a year and he sent me this email:

Kevin,

This is a SIM card from my cell phone that I use in Mexico. The cellular carrier name is Telcel. The dimensions are 1â€

Hi all,
I have a 20x2 Okaya LCD and even with the contrast all the way up, the thing is too dim to read! Anyone ever run into this before?

Kevin

The tol is funny, too. But, what posessed them to put them in an asst kit??? Do any of the community members USE them?? Not, "yep... got a few in my junk box". But, rather, "Yeah, I have used them in a hobby type project".

Kevin

Parallax has one (had?)... also try entering the following into google:
"text to speech" +IC
And check out the results.

I figured there had to be a reason, as in pick & place machines, but, kinda a ripoff, including it in an assortment!

I was nosin' around the net for parts deals and stumbled on a resistor assortment : http://www.opamp-electronics.com/catalog/14w-resistor-assortment-kit-1000-carbon-film-resistors-p-758.html They have a 0 ohm resistor. Wouldn't this be a... wire? What would you possibly use this for? Or, is this a t...

Hiya bigglez, Oh, I know there are more components blown. It's in the SMPS for an amp that I inadvertantly pumped 220 into :x ... I have to crawl through every component and see if they are good or bad. The PWM ctrlr I will replace, along w/ 2 2n4401's and the fuse, MOV, blah blah blah... Lost a few...

Yeah... I am very annoyed by the last few months (non)delivery. January was the worst. I got it in February after numerous calls to the 800 number. Tracy Kerley mailed it priority on 2-4-08 after I emailed her about the 800 number fiasco. They sent 2 other copies out which are postmarked 1-30-08 whi...

Hi all,
I need to replace the bridge rectifier in an amp and I can't find a cross ref for it. It's a Philips BY224 - all I found was 4.8A/220V DO-4 pkg. Anyone know of a substitute?

Thanks,
Kevin

I fired up the above code and, it "jitters" the servo, but, could you explain what it is supposed to do?

tnx,
kevin

no. but, there are free versions. They (mikroElectronika) make mikroBasic, mikroC, & mikroPascal. They are nice and you can check them out at http://www.mikroe.com - I like their EasyPic dev boards!

Hope you like it

Hi all, I have a project which should be very basic. I need to move a servo from the rightmost extreme to the leftmost extreme. Pic is @ 4MHz. I have written a program in mikroPascal which will do this : program ServoControl; Procedure Pulseout(time : word); begin SetBit(GPIO, 2); delay_cyc(time); /...
