Midterm
Sponge bob to the rescue!!!!
It wa along road but there were some great things I learned... This is short for now because I am collecting info from the various dark corners of my computers.
The idea is to have to minds talking with each other over the net. The idea started with the thought, "hmmmm two serial ports on the wiport means two pics connected at the same time... wireless... lets push it!" so the idea became to build a selfcontained unit. Then when I fould the SpongeBob lunch box everything came together.
On my travels through technologies, I played with the AD5206 a digital Pot. I think it is great and see many uses for it, but because I continually blew the red on my tricolors, it was pointless to use it. hopefully next time.
The other thing to always keep in my when using alterative power is AMPS remember to caculate the AMPs. To do it right double your AMPs when you can.
this is a home made tilt sensor using a metal ball bearing. it was interesting how it did not work the key is to bend a piece of metal out so it protrudes out into the space or it directly connects with the bearing.
