So I figured out what I need for the drill press. A nice sturdy X-Y table that I can move around manually and of course electrically. The bed should be about 12" square. So far this is just a pipe dream, but just maybe.DESIGN: First ...
Wire, wire, wire; So here we go I have to straighten this mess up. The Problem: I have lots of Arduinos all over, and since I embraced NASA's EADIN Lite RS485 protocols for my RSS, and Now the Joystick, Throttles, etc. the hardware keeps piling ...
I just salvaged this little jewel from an Aiwa AV-X120 Stereo Receiver, that sorta got crushed. The receiver I had found at the Goodwill for 5 bucks. What I wanted were the transformer and monolithic power amplifiers. Along the way, the volume ...
This is a really nice find at my local pawn shop. I uncovered this jewel in the Dollar box. It was sticking badly. It really needed a good cleaning. It was a Starrett model 436-1. I retracted the spindle into the sleeve and then removing ...

You know you get the dumb look on your face and is this damn thing working? Ethernet has activity indicators, you know the two lights on the RJ45 socket.Well, we can do the same for Serial Ports remember that Arduino's are only 2 pins (rx and tx)...
Stock Image of the Scroll SawImage 1Well ok, this is kind of backward... I don't have a good picture of what it looked like before I started with its resurrection. I found this Moto-Shop 571-4 (image 1 is a web image. Mine was dirtier) at...
This is a necessary evil of any lab, workshop. I have needed one for quite awhile. When I moved from New Jersey to in 1979 I left my floor unit with my bother. Imported yes, but well done, and morse taper removable chuck. So the other day Harbor Frei...
Ok for me this is off topic but it is something that I am meddling about with. I picked up a dead Blu-ray player with no drive, but it does have a nice RJ-45 and an internal WiFi transceiver sticking out of the back, and a neet black front panel. Now...
The RSS has been well sort of like a trial by fire. Well to put it bluntly it was nuts, with too many moving parts.!! Kind of like an old Rube Goldberg Machine. What I needed was a better way.

I'm sorry for this post at this time there is no rime or reason for it but I just got a Cessna 402 fuse panel, cheap or about 50 cents a breaker. So I'm going to regress just a little.First, all good simulators need fuse panels. Having said that, the...
This is a long time in coming: a cross-index of my equipment, by Part Number, Description, and Connector(s), and Mate(s).
Please check back as this will evolve over time. ~Cris

I was going to use my Suncom F-18 Tallon Joystick but I had an F-18 Joystick from High Rev Simulations. They over-built stuff, now DOA, but Bugeye Technologies can help you. The switches are all Military quality made by Otto Controls. The Joystick ba...

The ID-453/ARN-30 is a Vietnam-era CDI. The connector on the rear is an ARC 19 pin. Well, here I'm going to do this from memory as this indicator has been already been taken apart. So let's begin.
