No. Your wall charger works like any other wall wart. A transformer to drops the AC voltage to a reasonable level, a rectifier turns it into DC, and a regulator regulates the output voltage. The DC voltage runs the charging circuit in your phone. You could use a LM7805 as suggested above. If you have a USB charging cable…
OP's assumption of how AC works was incorrect as you can't wire AC outlets in series because it will blow your breakers. I was explaining how OP could wire a 220v outlet from two 110v outlets because a 220v outlet is two 110v lines in parallel. I was explaining the correct way to do it. If OP wanted 220v on 1 wire and not…
People don't realize how much personal information they give out on facebook. They post their phone numbers, addresses, check in everywhere they go, etc. The gps encoding in pictures isn't a big deal.
He has a 220v plug and he need to wire a 220 outlet from two 110 outlets. So yes I am answering OP's question. Plugs and outlets are wired in the same configuration. Only very new houses have whole house GFI protectors. We usually have GFI outlets and they are only in the bathroom and kitchen. The rest of the house or…
Those plugs are "220" plugs. And yes you can. It's not "safe" because both breakers won't trip at the same time if there is a problem. That's one of the great things about Tesla's Alternating Current is that you don't have a return line back to the generator/power plant. It's not like positive and negative/ground in a DC…
A normal 220 plug has 2 hots and a neutral or 2 hots, a nuetral and a ground. Each of the hots are only 110v. It's not like batteries where you can connect them in parallel or series. When you measure between the hots you get 220 volts. When you measure from one of the hots to ground or neutral you get 110v. I've installed…
How are you going to measure the distance? Normally with ultrasonic distance is calculated using time of flight. This is why the emitter and receiver are unusually positioned directly next to each other facing the same direction. Send pulse -> wait for reflection -> time of flight*speed of sound = distance. You would have…
Fixed... A normal US breaker panel has a 110v bus. When an appliance needs 220 two 110 lines are run from a 220 breaker to the appliance. You can use two 110 breakers but it's a safety issue as they both won't trip if there is a problem. As long as you are only pulling 5 amps and using two 20amp 110 outlets then that will…
I would recommend using this schematic instead. http://ecelab.com/circuit-ultrasonic-t.htm The 2n2222 will give you the extra boost you need. Any NPN transistor should work. This is a good site for the calculations: http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/555timer.htm#astable A tweeter from a speaker system might be better for your…
Yeah. That thing will smoke most gas cars on the drag strip but will only make it 1/2 way home...the nice things about electric motors is that for the most part they can be controlled so you get constant torque over a large array of RPMs. I'm excited to see what new battery technologies come out of this and if the prices…
The "ladies auxilary" from the local tavern all play farmville and those other villes. All of the old guys I know still have juno e-mail addresses from the 90's and hate "the facebook". It is a good way to keep in touch. Everyone I graduated with is now all over the world and it's good to keep track of events my customers…
One of my friends has one of the first version. In person it was so much smaller than I expected. From what I've heard range depends greatly on driving style.
Do you ever see the guy? It seems kind of obvious that you could just follow him. Or have someone else follow him. Sit down the street in your car and wait for him to come home...see which house he goes into? It seems like you are putting way too much into this.
Are you running a linux server? We are using unrealircd and I'm having trouble getting it to autostart when our windows server restarts. I've tried creating a "task" but that's not working. I think I'm going to have to write a batch file to start unrealircd and then anope services. I've never heard of any security issues.…
I'll post them after work. I need to download a tool to analyse the IIS logs. We run a windows VPS...loads of fun :) If you guys have any tools you suggest let me know. What setting to you guys have for "active users"? Ours is only 30 days.
Yes, about 4 weeks ago I started hosting our irc on our webserver. It's much more reliable. Some of our members were hosting it on Astrolink but they are gone now. We got tired of getting booted off of other servers I figured it was time to setup my own. I don't have SSL setup yet but you guys are welcome to come on there.…
I thought the IPC J-STD-001 soldering tests were easy. Some people I worked with had trouble. It's really annoying to have to touch up joints that have a bubble of solder that isn't even in contact with the pads on a through hole part. I don't think it takes a genius to see that it was fucked up.
I sort of fixed it on &T2. I put http://totse2.com in the Redirect Domain Whitelist. When it loads up it goes back to the page you were on before. It doesn't look like you are logged in but you are. As soon as you navigate to another page it changes to http://www.totse2.com and shows you as logged in. It's not ideal but…
I've had this happen to me on IE, Firefox and Chrome. If you log out and then go to http://totse.info/bbs and try to log in you will get the error. Same thing with http://totse2.com and try to log in. It's just something with vBulletin.
I've had a problem like this before. If vBulletin is setup with the www in the address you pretty much have to use the www or it gets all weird. Once it rejects you try refreshing. Crtl+Refresh also clears the cached page and totally reloads it. Edit: I just recreated it. Refreshing doesn't do anything. You just need to…
Status update? This is a forum, make a thread. At totse2 we use the Winamp null output plugin on our VPS so we can use Shoutcast. We don't run it all week but it's something some of our members have been working on. What free service do you use? What is a download prefix?
A lot of members from Totse2 and dot info cross post on multiple forums...what are you going to do about it? You can't claim to be Totse. Totse is gone and a few sites have borrowed the name to try to continue the legacy. Claiming you are Totse just show's how weak your argument really is because you have to hide behind…
I've had issues with this sometimes too. If I was a smoker I'd be fine...but since I'm not I just have to mentally tell myself use a deeper voice before I start talking. My other issue is that I'm usually a lot more tired than I think I am. The days where my voice is fucked up is usually when I'm 4-5 hours short on sleep.
I've never met a "hacker" that would share enough information to be useful to me. I'm a programmer but i feel retarded when it comes to that kind of stuff.
It's hard to know what gems are anymore. There is so much (mis)information on the internet. I feel like social networking has changed the internet scene enough that the internet is less for information and more for bullshitting/socializing. While I do all of the social networking stuff to keep in touch with friends who…
I've had mixed experiences. My dad's GF runs a ebay business. She's gotten screwed a few times. It's just such utter bullshit that anyone can flag your posting. I've never heard about the scam you were talking about but as a seller you literally have no rights what so ever.
Definitely Any forum is only as good as you make it...You can choose to have a positive experience or a negative experience. Bottom line is to contribute and hope other people are interested in the same topics you are.
