It is highly desirable to eliminate or when that is not possible, replace all SIT resistors (or any other SIT part for that matter) with devices that allow automatic adjustment. A common situation is the use of a digital trimpot to replace an SIT resistor when a specific requirement cannot be achieved economically using off the shelf components.

My company bought a bunch of Dell optiplex desktops with Realtek HD Integrated Sound a year ago and they've all got the Stereo Mix disabled. I did some searching on Google for a solution and found what you need to do. * Download the SoundMax driver from Dell's website and extract it somewhere. Then open up ADIHDAUD.INF located in SMAXWDM folder in the driver folder. * Find the line HKR,AD1984\\Disable, OutR, 1, 01 ;; Disable Stereo Mix Capture Node * Change the “01” to 00 and save it * …

HPGL Printing A member on Time-Nuts asked how to use an old HP plotter under XP " There seems to be a wealth of knowledge here about keeping older HP hardware running. Would anyone in this group have experience using a 7475A plotter under XP or Linux to plot test data or drawings. I'd like to get mine running again."

ide_to_use_with_sdcc

2011-01-06T05:35:45-04:00

From the [sdcc-users] mailing list: ---------- If you are using Windows, and happen to have WinAVR installed, then you already have an IDE that works with SDCC. In fact, I think installing is a good way to go, even if you don't plan to use the AVR aspects of it.

When I asked Stefan Trethan for the kind of tools he uses for PWB rework and repair, he was kind enough to provide the elaborate response below: ---------- To desolder the electrolytic caps I used SMD tweezers, it was horrible, and even damaged the PCB slightly. I will not use them again.

I am not sure I posted my final impressions after replacing the rear LLS with springs from Strutmasters, so there it goes. If I already did, sorry for the repeat... My Expy had the 4 wheel LLS, which includes conventional shocks at the rear. The shop ordered a set of replacement rear springs from Strutmasters and installed them. That took about 1.5 hours of labor. The front is now simply resting at the lower height with the torsion bars, but the truck looks fine and balanced. I drove it 600 mil…

setting_up_ftdi_drivers_for_stellaris_board

2012-02-14T12:02:26-04:00

Setting up FTDI drivers for Stellaris board It seems the FTDI drivers are a real pain to install. The Micromint Eagle50E board uses the Luminary Micro driver for programming and debugging the board via USB. Every time I install the tools on a new computer, I have problems usually ending with a dll not properly installed (armlmiftdi.dll).

Silabs 8051 Family This was a posting to a mailing list that never made it (vagaries of Internet email) I thought I would post my current favorites and some rationale for it in case the question would come up again. ---------- The way the 8051 addresses various areas of memory using different types of calls is strange, and probably not very efficient, but it has served the 8051 architecture well, and if you use a C compiler (there are many very excellent C compilers for the 8051, includin…

I love my Blackberry 8830 Curve. The Wi-Fi enabled device makes browsing the web possible (while lessening the risk of extreme aggravation) when you are in range of a Wi-Fi router. However, there are many web sites that do not offer a mobile-device-optimized page. Slashdot is one of them. Slashdot even looks marginally good on my laptop's 1024 pixel-wide display because excessive space is reserved on either side for navigation bars and ads. I came across a posting by an anonymous contributor who…

sunspots

2008-07-31T22:15:59-04:00

Sunspots are critical to long range Short Wave radio signal propagation. Since this is how most Ham Radio operators communicate, they are critical to me. They may have other less significant effects, such as possibly driving extended periods of severe climate change called Ice Ages for periods of a few years to a few thousand years, but these are not nearly as important to me as the effect on HF propagation (I can always wear another coat, and living in Florida, I am at a good place to deal wit…

Silabs Kits The free software that comes with the Silabs kits includes two main components: a free version of the Keil compiler, and the Silabs IDE. All the Silabs chips (well, not all, but all the C8051Fxxx) are flash based, and they can be erased and reprogrammed on the fly thousands of times. Some (all?) chips can even write to flash from within the program running in flash (for non-volatile run-time-defined parameter storage for instance), kind of like whacking oneself in the head....

This is a question that has gone unanswered for centuries, but, now we know. It requires a bit of explanation, first: * If you put a woman on a pedestal and try to protect her from the rat race ... you're a male chauvinist. If you stay home and do the housework ... you're a pansy. * If you work too hard ... there's never any time for her. If you don't work enough ... you're a good-for-nothing bum. * If she has a boring repetitive job with low pay ... this is exploitation. If you have a…
