Another New Year’s Goal Post / State of the Ham | KE8P.US
http://www.ke8p.us/general-stuff/another-new-years-goal-post-state-of-the-ham
Another New Year's Goal Post / State of the Ham. Jan 7, 2015. This is two out of four for me. I'm too busy. So last year I had a number of things I wanted to do. Then my radio went kaput and I still haven't fixed it. Other things happened, too. This year I am definitely going to fix. or pay someone to fix my IC-706. I will probably get into FreeDV and maybe another digital voice mode. I want to build a receiver, too, and not from a kit. I've been somewhat silent out here, but that shall change soon.

Repair of a Shark Steam Mop. Mar 15, 2015. WifE8P was complaining that her Shark Steam mop was not producing a lot of steam. That's really the only way we clean the dining room, kitchen, and entry floors, so it's pretty important for it to work. The steam would act like it was operating, but would put out little steam. This is actually pretty easy to take apart. The only tool required is a Philips screwdriver, and there are few clips. This was the problem – a pebble made it up to the outlet nozzle.

RFduino and the Physical Web. Jan 14, 2015. I happened to stumble on an advertisement for a cool looking device that would work with a phone via Bluetooth. It was ideally something that would be used for things like movie times, bus waiting times, or something else small and URL based. kinda like a QR code without the annoying camera part. So I got a pair of RFduinos. The library comes with an example program accessible under File-Examples-RFduinoBLE-AdvertisementContinuous. Where This Is Going. Rather t...

http://www.ke8p.us/category/general-stuff
Category Archives: General Stuff. May 21, 2016. In terms of success, this ranks up pretty high. I wheeled-and-dealed on everything, and I feel like I made out like a bandit! I didn't stay very long at Hamvention - I arrived around 8:30 AM and I was gone by around 1:30 PM. Astron VS-20 Power Supply. It works. I needed a power supply for my bench, and everything new was either adjustable (but not powerful and expensive) or powerful and expensive. This is better than I thought I'd end up with. But for some ...

Apr 28, 2015. Hamvention is at a busy time for me, and I didn't know if I was going to attempt to go or not. I think I'm going to go, though, because I need stuff. New NMO mobile antenna setup. I'm not looking for any real radio equipment other than parts. I have some specific needs (linear-taper variable resistors, etc), but nothing out of the ordinary. Arduino/Raspberry Pi/Beaglebone Black stuff. Because you can't have too much! Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Andrew is the owner of th...
