Re: Hurricane Gustav

I'd be glad to send you some rain... Here's a picture, about a year after I paid around $500 for two days of a back hoe and small dozer work rearranging my yard. There is now a rain ditch where my cottonwood was and you can see a couple inches of run off moving from my back ditch to front. It doesn'...

Re: Hurricane Gustav

We got a bunch of rain from Fay over last couple weeks. I am far enough inland that I'm not too worried about Gustov but despite being inland Katrina tore us up pretty good when the eye passed right over my house. The wires in the foreground were high tension lines feeding my own transformer. Now i ...

Re: Best cities for dining?

I've had good and bad meals in many countries. Best Indian meal was in England, but I've never been to India. Best Mexican meal was in Mexico (duh).. not the Tex-Mex we think of as Mexican food, but unfamiliar (to me) dishes, while all good. Here's an unusual one.. best sushi/sashimi I had was in a ...

Re: new shiny hammer- or Universal comp

FWIW We had more than a few build options on the original gain meter and it generated lots of support. Sell a Pico Compressor and a meter and the meter board generates the e-mail. Once Roger did a dedicated GR meter support virtually stopped other than the occasional backwards LEDs. I love the flex...

Re: new shiny hammer- or Universal comp

No the layout was done by the lead engineer at the console company, to fit in the specific model console. While I have known him for decades, I have been collaborating with them on this meter for less than a year. So the original console definition involved a bunch of analog circuitry. Their standar...

Re: new shiny hammer- or Universal comp

Thanx... If I was to make a stereo version, I would probably use an even smaller part. I'm using every pin on that 28 pin part, but a dedicated meter won't need 6 analog inputs, solo logic, etc,,, I think there's an 18 pin part that would probably work. 2 a/d inputs, 3 lines for serial data out to a...

Re: new shiny hammer- or Universal comp

Here's a snapshot of the meter proto I just finished for a console company (that shall remain nameless for now). It's based on a PIC24H.. In this design we're feeding 6 audio inputs and using a solo logic pin to tell it to steer inputs 5 and 6 to meters 3 and 4 and light the red SOLO LED on bottom. ...

Re: LED Temperature Coefficients When Used as Bias Sources

Maybe so, but other than the bulk resistance effects - and I haven't correlated it - it would appear that Vf, wavelength, chemistry and tempco are all interrelated. I'm talking out of my ass here... Lets see.. the wavelength has something to do with the electron orbit energy potenial so it seems X ...
