Basic acceleration, experiments to measure earths gravity, what not.

 

I took integrated physics and chemistry. A class on lewis dot symbols, and how drop an egg from the bleachers and build a car from a mouse trap.

 

Last weekend I brought one competitor to a competition. Saturday it was light contact kickboxing and Sunday it was full contact.

On Saturday, she had fight number 3. It was a good fight, and she won by one hit... Next fight was number 42. After a long wait, it was finally her turn. Before round one started, we made a plan on what to do. She followed the plan, and won the gold medal.

Sunday it was full contact. There was no opponent in her weight class, but she said OK to meet a girl 5 Kg heavier. We made a new plan, and everything went as planned. This was her first fight as a senior, so she needed to prove for the judges that she is good enough. By doing that she gets a gold mark. She was more than good enough.

 

The force be with you,defend your self and your country. You are a good father.

 

Bump.

Just need 68 more posts in 24 days to meet out 2013 by 2013 goal

 

Three posts per day would do it.

 

Here's one of the things I'm up to. PIC 10F220 in the SOT23-6 package:

Had to make an adapter board, which fits into my breadboards.

The chip is 3mm long.

First program, the usual blinking LED.

 

That's one of my favorite chips, here's a few of mine (some of them might be 10F200).

 

There's also the Knight Rider style LEDs in my blog and this page creates a template for the 10F220 (it's not 100% working so check the results):

I guess I'm addicted to them, but I've got to get round to trying the 10F320/322.

 

I've also made a Knight rider thing with a 12f1822, SOIC-8 narrow footprint.

... and a video

 

What wattage and/or temperature iron where you using while soldering the SMDs?

 

Darn, guess I should start posting pictures of my projects, huh?

 

That little son of dot is a PIC. .

How the heck do u program them.

 

What wattage and/or temperature iron where you using while soldering the SMDs?

I used a 25W, non temperature controlled iron. Probably partly explains why my boards are such a mess. I just recently tried solder paste and a hot plate and it's much easier and neater.

Post away, I find it interesting to see what everyone is up to.

 

I hate you guys for making my dreams ....really really hate you.

I am going to sleep. Don't even call me.

I do them in circuit once they have been soldered so my boards have 5 wires (clearest in middle picture). If I ever finish a project I trim them off.
You can also get an adapter that clamps around them to program the chip on it's own, but they aren't too cheap.

Been testing with the solder. The thinner the better:

In Circuit Serial Programming.

 

This is the latest board of my UAV controller:

The missing 8DIP is a PICAXE 8M02.

I test flied it today at a new location I found that air modelists use: Athens' old airport! All the space I ever wanted. I 'm never flying anywhere else!

I 'm still on development stage. I tested the level flight feature and the gains were too high. It tracked straight, but the oscillations were terrible.

 

Nice! I remember this one - from somewhere...

I'm curious, why the mix on 90° and 45° bends? Looks like you have enough board... Any particular reason?

 

Blame the autorouter. I don't care about the uniformity so much to change it manually.
If I recall correctly it was supposed to prioritize vertical tracks on the top layer and horizontal on the bottom, or vice versa. I don't remember changing any option for the corners.
I use Eagle 6.2.
