Re: Chess Clock Project

I do have plenty of prototyping resources, power supplies, and a fairly good DMM.<p> Code will be done in assembler, because I like the interface as opposed to basic or C.<p>Unfortunately, ordering the multiplexing IC is not an option for me. My parents won't allow me to spend any more money, becaus...

Re: heated bobbers

Never been ice fishing before, so I don't know how far you have to walk to your spot from where you park. What about carting out a 12V gel cell to where you are fishing? You could put it on a sled and push or pull it there if you have to walk far. That might solve a few of your power problems, if it...

Unfortunately, I am lacking funds to support my hobby (need to save for a car...) Anything would help, absolutely anything. I am most in need of mis...
