What an excellent service I received from sports shades online when I encountered a problem with my sunglasses! A small bracket had come off and was lost ! The bracket held the lens in place so I went onto the Internet to order a part. Unfortunately the part for my model was not orderable however as glasses were only 18 months old, I was advised that I was eligible for a total replacement. My new sunglasses arrived within a week of my conversation with them! What an amazing service &... (read more)

One thing I seem to get through a lot is moisturiser. I use it twice daily, basically every time I get out of the shower or bath as I like to keep my skin supple and soft (even more so I'm pregnant as I'm trying to keep stretch marks at bay!). One product I have been using for quite some time is the Garnier Body Sensitive Anti-Dryness Restorative Moisturiser. I chose it partly because I do suffer with dry skin (especially in the winter) and it was on offer in Superdrug! I hate heavy moisturisers and this claimed to be light which is exactly what I was looking for. The Garnier Body sensitive range has been created to combat tight, extra dry and sensitive skin. ...

I think that this stuff is a total godsend! I'm really fussy about moisturiser, I'm a bit of a snob if I'm honest, and won't use cheaper brands if I can help it. I know it's wrong, but I can't help it! So, I was really glad when this beauty was released, as it meant I no longer had to put up with the stigma of using e45 cream... The idea behind this product, is that it is an equivalent to e45, it has been formulated especially for dry skin, and more particularly, sensitive skin. I wouldn't say that my skin is especially sensitive, mostly I can use any old moisturiser and I'm fine, but about this time last year, I noticed that I was ... Read the complete review

Planet hack-day
Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 10:01Monster 100W LED Flashlight for Under $10!
What would you do if you came across a 100W, 7500 lumen LED diode for under $10? Probably something like this.
It's actually quite amazing how cheap LEDs are getting. [Julian Ilett] found this 2″ x 2″ LED on eBay for only £4.79 (<$10 USD). It's rated for 32-34V with a current draw of 3000mA, which works out to about 100W. Its brightness? 7500 lumens. That's brighter than most home theater setups.
At that price, [Julian] had to try playing with one. The problem with these higher power LEDs is that they typically need a rather expensive LED driver, due to the less common voltages they operate at — and of course, the concern of over-driving them and burning them out. Not interested in finding a suitable driver, [Julian] decided to try something a bit less conventional — wiring a pair of 18V drill batteries in series.
Unfortunately, fully charged drill batteries tend to hover around 20V, not 18V, which when doubled is quite a bit over the recommended voltage range for the LED. The good news is that since the LED draws so much current, there's a good chance the voltage will drop right down to the "sweet spot" for the LED. So like any good hacker, [Julian] decides to throw caution to the wind and just try it.
As luck would have it, it worked! He darn near fried his camera sensor looking at it though! Satisfied with his test he's gone on to make the world's cheapest — and perhaps ugliest — 100W LED flashlight.
And upgraded it since.
And if you don't need that much brightness, you could always recycle your lithium batteries into some awesome PVC flashlights!

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 07:00Russian Man Builds a Chainsaw Out of a Grinder
Ready for another ill-advised tool hack we definitely do not recommend you try at home? Why not take a gander at this man's home-made chainsaw… made out of a grinder! (translated)
What this (Russian?) man has done is modified his large electric grinder — into a chainsaw. He's added a weld plate, some mounting locations, and now it can accept either grinding wheels, or after a few minutes of assembly, a full length chainsaw blade attachment. He's probably pretty proud of himself, but we really hope he doesn't end up losing a finger… or worse.
Anyway, we're not even going to point out the lack of safety guarding in this video, because it is such an obvious bad idea in general. That being said, it actually works in the demonstration!
Stick around — don't sweat too much though, no one gets hurt. There is one thing that can be said about this project though… It's most definitely a hack.
For a slightly safer home power tool conversion, there's always the Scrappy Lil' Circular Saw.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 04:01DIY Bell For Your Trains of Lionel
[Peter]'s dad recently rekindled his love for Lionel trains and wanted a bell to keep the crossings safe for O gauge drivers and pedestrians. Using parts he had lying around and a doorbell from the hardware store, [Peter] concocted this DIY train crossing bell at his dad's request.
The idea was to make the bell chime about once per second. To achieve this, [Peter] used a non-repeating electro-mechanical doorbell that emits a single note on continuous press. You could also roll your own bell with a spring-loaded solenoid and something bell-like for it to strike.
[Peter]'s three-stage design uses a full-wave bridge rectifier to convert the AC from the train transformer to DC. He drops it to 5V and sends it through a 555 and some resistors to set the frequency and duty cycle. His output section translates the voltage back up to match the input desired by the doorbell. [Peter] included a 1N4002 as a back EMF snubber to keep feedback from damaging the power MOSFET. Stick around for his demonstration video after the jump.

Wednesday, March 5, 2014 - 01:01Interrupt Free V-USB
[Tim's] new version of Micronucleus, Micronucleus 2.0, improves upon V-USB by removing the need for interrupts. The original Micronucleus was a very small implementation of V-USB that took up only 2KB. Removing the need for interrupts is a big leap forward for V-USB.
For those of you that do not know, "V-USB is a software-only implementation of a low-speed USB device for Atmel's AVR® microcontrollers, making it possible to build USB hardware with almost any AVR® microcontroller, not requiring any additional chip." One tricky aspect of using V-USB is that the bootloader requires interrupts, which can lead to messy problems within the user program. By removing the need for interrupts, Micronucleus 2.0 reduces the complexity of the bootloader by removing the need to patch the interrupt vector for the user program.
With the added benefit of speeding up the V-USB data transmission, Micronucleus 2.0 is very exciting for those minimal embedded platforms based on V-USB. Go ahead and try out Micronucleus 2.0! Leave a comment and let us know what you think.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 22:01Public Transportation Display
[Adrian] and [Obelix] wanted to have an easy way to know when to expect the public transportation, so they hacked an LED dot matrix display to show arrival times for stops near their dorm.
They found the display on Ebay with a defective controller which they replaced with an ATmega328p. They connected the display to the internet by adding a small TP-Link MR3020 router and connecting it to the ATmega328p via a serial line. Their local transportation office's web page is polled to gather wait times for the stops of interest. All rendering of the final image to display to the dot matrix display is done on their PC, which then gets pushed through to the MR3020, which in turn pushes it out to the ATmega328p for final display.
[Adrian] and [Obelix] warn about setting proper watchdog timers on the display driver to make sure bugs in the controller don't fry the dot matrix elements. Their ATmega328p dot matrix driver code can be found on [Adrian]'s GitHub page.
Check out a video of the display in action after the jump.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 19:00Retrotechtacular: Lighting the Way for Talkie Pictures with Optical Sound Recording
This week's Retrotechtacular is a 1943 Encyclopædia Britannica film focusing on optical sound reproduction for motion pictures. Both the sound and the images are recorded on film, which is only affected by light. Therefore, the sound waves must be converted to changes in light.
This is done the way you might expect: the sound waves hit a microphone and the changes in current are amplified and used to control the intensity of light falling on the film. Three types of soundtracks are described and wonderfully demonstrated at the end of the film.
All three types are made from a series of thin bars of light, and the corresponding current value is represented by changes in either their length or their width. In the Unilateral Variable Area recording, the bars extend from the right side of the sound track. Bilateral Variable Area recorded bars emanate uniformly toward the edges from the center. In Variable Density recording, all of the bars extend from the left to right extremes, but their thickness varies.
Variable Density recording is done with a light valve, which contains a pair of delicate metallic ribbons in a magnetic field that move like shutters when the sound current flows through them. The light coming through to the film is varied by the slot created in the space between the ribbons. The light patterns are changed back to sound through a photoelectric cell, which converts the variations in light back to changing current. These changes are amplified and run through a loudspeaker. Be sure to watch to the end to catch a demonstration of the recording methods, set to what we're pretty sure is Camille Saint-Saëns' Danse Macabre.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 16:00Woodhouse Controls Your House, Avoids Danger Zone
[Pat] may not be the world's most dangerous secret agent, but he does have Woodhouse taking care of his home. [Pat] has been upgrading his sonic screwdriver home automation system these past few months. Waking up to a chilly room led him to start hacking a thermostat interface. [Pat] found that his furnace only needed one 24VAC wire to be shorted to a common during a call for heat. [Pat] was lucky in that his thermostat was low voltage. While researching a thermostat hack, we made the painful discovery that our thermostat is 120VAC, so watch for that if you try this one at home.
[Pat] connected his thermostat leads to a relay controlled by a Raspberry Pi. The Pi would read a temperature sensor and set the relay accordingly. That was fine for a quick hack, but opening an SSH window to change the temperature isn't the most convenient thing in the world. Enter an old Asus Transformer Prime tablet. [Pat] coded up an Android Holo style interface using AJAX along with HTML/CSS/jQuery and PHP. OpenMic+ constantly listens for voice commands, and fires them off to Tasker tasks as needed. He calls the results Woodhouse, and the interface is very slick. The tablet controls and graphs temperature, [Pat's] media center, and his lights. Woodhouse is even [Pat's] right hand man when getting ready for those intimate moments. We can't wait to see what [Pat] comes up with next.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 13:01TDOA (Time Difference of Arrival) Directional Antenna
We have posted articles in the past on directional antennas such as Yagi antennas used for transmitter hunting otherwise known as fox hunting. Those types of antennas and reception suffer from one major drawback, which is as you get close to the transmitter the S meter will go full scale. At which time the transmitted signal appears to be coming from all directions. To correct for this problem you need to use clever signal attenuators or change to a poor receiving antenna as well as tuning off frequency effectively making your receiver hard of hearing so that only the direct path to the transmitter is loudest.
There is another popular type of antenna that you can build yourself called a TDOA which stands for Time Difference of Arrival. [Byon Garrabrant N6BG] shared a short video tutorial on the functionality of his home built TDOA antenna. Effectively this is an active antenna that uses a 555 chip or, in [Byon's] case, a PIC chip to quickly shift between two receiving dipole antennas at either end of a shortened yardstick. In his explanation you learn that as the antenna ends move closer or farther from the source a 640 Hz generated audio tone will go from loud to very soft as the antennas become equal distance from the source. This type of directional reception is not affected by signal strength. This means you can be very close to a powerful transmitter and it will still function as a good directional antenna.
The current circuit diagram, BOM and source code are all available on [Byon's] TDOA page.
The reason [Byon] used a programmable PIC instead of the 555 for his design is because he wants to add a few more modifications such as feeding back the audio output to the PIC in order to programmatically turn on a left or right LED indicating the direction of the transmitter. Furthermore, he plans on adding a third antenna in a triangular configuration to programmatically control a circle of 6 LEDs indicating the exact direction of the signal. When he finishes the final modifications he can drive around with the antenna array on his vehicle and the circle of LEDs inside indicating the exact direction to navigate.
We look forward to seeing the rest of the development which might even become a kit someday. You can watch [Byon's] TDOA video after the break.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 10:01RFID Jacket Flashes the Crowd at Make Fashion 2014
The [RADLab team] has created an eye-opening RFID jacket for Make Fashion 2014. For this project, [Dan Damron, Chris Zaal, and Ben Reed] of RADLab teamed up with designer [Laura Dempsey] to create a jacket which responded both to a dancer on the runway and the audience itself. RADLab stands for Radio Frequency Identification Application Development Lab, so you can probably guess that RFID was their weapon of choice for interaction. We've got a bit of RFID experience here at Hackaday, having recently used it at The Gathering in LA. The [RADLab team] didn't skimp on processing power for this jacket. A BeagleBone Black running Debian controls the show. The BeagleBone receives data from a Thingmagic M6e 4 port UHF RFID Reader. The M6e is connected to 4 directional antennas. The BeagleBone responds differently depending on which RFID card is read, and which antenna reads it. With the data processed, the BeagleBone then issues commands to a teensy 3.0, which controls WS2811 "Neopixel" addressable RGB LEDs sewn into the jacket.
During the fashion show, the jacket wearer danced with a second model who had RFID tags sewn into his t-shirt. The LED clusters on the front, back and sleeves of the jacket would light up, and change color and flash frequency based upon which tag and antenna got a read. Once the performance was over, the audience was encouraged to pick up tags and interact with the jacket themselves. The software was still very much beta, so the [RADLab team] monitored everything via WiFi and restarted the software when necessary.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 07:00Coolant Hose Grippers Keep Your Components in Place
Whether you have shaky hands when working on tiny components, or just need more control and flexibility, we think this "third hand" gripper using coolant hose is an ingenious solution compared to the little metal ones you can buy.
Not surprisingly this isn't an original idea. In fact, Sparkfun actually sells it as a kit. That being said… it's rather expensive — especially when you can build [Frank Zhao's] version for less than $15.
He's using a cutting board, three machinery style coolant hoses, and a handful of fasteners from the hardware store. You can use the accessories from a regular metal third hand, but [Frank] also shows us how to recreate them using a few washers, some steel strapping, and a wing nut and bolt.
[Mr. Zhao] is no stranger to Hack a Day either — we'd almost call him an inadvertent contributor we've shared so many of his hacks! Just take a look at his tiny USB business card, his awesome LED pocket watch, a detailed reflow oven build, or even his IR based augmented reality setup.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 04:00Forget Stopping Bullets – Vest Warms You While Stopping Taser
[Bruce Wayne][Shenzhen] wanted a garment that would protect him from a jolt, while keeping him toasty in the cold weather. Well that's not it at all, these are merely two of his projects using the same material in different ways.We're going to start with the infrared image on the right. This is a vest with chest and back pieces made of carbon tape totaling two meters of the material swirled on each side. Hook it to a power source and the carbon tape warms the wearer. Portability is something of an issue as each "element" takes 36 W of power (3A at 12V). Click through for advice on how to interface the tape with the power source.
Onto the main event… avoiding electrical shock when you get all up in the grill of that mall cop you're hated for years. [Shenzhen's] jacket is really just an ordinary long-sleeved coat. But he separated the lining at the bottom seam and used fusible material to hold the carbon tape in place. The carbon tape provides a better conductor than your skin, preventing the shock from stunning you as it was intended. This really is the thing of superheroes, or former editors who should have known better.

Tuesday, March 4, 2014 - 01:00Remote Control Anything With A PS3 Controller
When looking for a remote control for your next project, you might want to look in your living room. Wii controllers are a hacker's favorite, but wagging an electronic wand around isn't the greatest for remote control planes, cars, tanks, and multicopters. What you need for this is dual analog controls, something every playstation since the 90s has included.
[Marcel] created a replacement electronics board for the Sony DualShock 3 controller for just this purpose. With this board, an XBee, and an old controller, it's easy to add dual analog control and a whole lot of buttons to any project using an XBee receiver.
The replacement board is based on the ATMega328p uC, includes a Lipo charge circuit and power supply, and inputs for the analog sticks and all the button boards inside the DualShock controller.
Yes, we have seen an earlier version of [Marcel]'s project before, but this time he's added a few new features – the rumble now works and thanks to multiple people unable or unwilling to spin a few boards, [Marcel] has put up an Indiegogo campaign.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 22:00Atomic Powered Robots and Records Played With Optics
If you were a child of the 80′s or early 90′s you probably remember Magic Mike. He went by many names, but he always said the same thing "I am the atomic powered robot. Please give my best wishes to everybody!" [Oona's] version of Mike had been malfunctioning for a few years. He'd stopped talking! She decided he needed more input, so she disassembled Mike to reveal the flesh colored plastic box in the center of his chest. This talkbox was used as a sound module in several toys. Before the days of cheap digital playback devices, sounds were recorded in a decidedly analog fashion. [Oona] found that Mike's voice and sound effects were recorded on a tiny phonograph record in his chest. The phonograph was spun up by an electric motor, but the playback and amplification system was all mechanical, consisting of a needle coupled to a small plastic loudspeaker. The system was very similar to the early phonograph designs.
Mike's record contained two interwoven spiral tracks. Interwoven tracks is a technique that has been used before, albeit rarely on commercial albums. One track contained Mike's voice, the other the sound of his laser gun. The track to be played would be chosen at random depending upon where the needle and record stopped after the previous play. The record completely sidetracked [Oona's] repair work. She decided to try to read the record optically. She started with a high resolution image (image link) of the record, and wrote some Perl code to interpolate a spiral around the grooves. The result was rather noisy, and contained quite a bit of crosstalk. [Oona] tried again with laser illumination using a Lego train set. Unfortunately the Lego train / laser system wasn't smooth enough to get a good image. In the end she used a bit of Gimp magic and was able to pull better audio from her original image. We never did find out if she put poor Mike back together though.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 19:01Hot or Not? Find Out How to Calculate Component Heat and Why You Should
How hot are your key components getting? There's a good chance you've built a project and thought: "Well I guess I better slap a heat sink in there to be safe". But when working on a more refined build you really need to calculate heat dissipation to ensure reliability. This is actually not tough at all. The numbers are right there in the datasheet. Yes, that datasheet packed with number, figures, tables, graphs, slogans, marketing statements, order numbers… you know right where to look, don't you?
Hackaday has you covered on this one. In under 10 minutes [Bil Herd] will not only show how easy these calculations are, he'll tell you where to look in the datasheets to get the info you need quickly.
Above, [Bil] used his bench as a whiteboard to illustrate the thermal resistance equation. In this case each resistor symbol represents part of the heat dissipation. You must consider all places where heat can be transferred: (from left to right) the component die (junction) to the component case, the component case to a heat sink, and the heat sink to ambient air. He illustrates each of these dissipation points in the video.
An example of the junction-to-case is shown to the right. This is a TO-3 case which has had the lid cut off. It's a much simpler way to look at a chip die than trying to decap a component with a plastic case.
Make with the Math Already!
Okay, okay, we're getting there. The math is not hard… just multiplication and addition, so hang on a minute more.
Gather the following values: maximum power you plan to use with this component, maximum heat rating of the part, maximum ambient air temperature in which this component will be used, and the theta values from the datasheets. Theta, which is a measure of degrees per watt, is often listed as a symbol: Θ Multiply theta by the max wattage and you will know how much temperature to add to your equation
Datasheets: Finding Θ and Temperature
Because [Bil] does such a great job in the video we're giving you the quick version here. Temperature generating components will include a maximum operating temperature like the one shown below (click through for full datasheet) which is for a linear regulator:
The theta for "Juntion-to-Case" is found a bit further down the same datasheet in the Electrical Characteristics table. Datasheets will also provide a "Junction-to-Ambient" value (also shown below but not used in our calculations) used to calculate how much power you can use without any type of active or passive cooling. This answers the question of: "do I need a heat sink?".
Finally, you want to look at values from the heat sink being used. [Bil] looks at the datasheet of a heat sink which lists a thermal resistance of 25.8Θ with the chart below on the left showing how that number may be altered with moving air (a fan). The chart to the right covers the use of interface agents like thermal grease, and a mica pad (for electrical insulation) with thermal grease. Both of those values are circled but only one will be used in the calculation.
Putting It All Together
If we assume an ambient air temperature of 38 C (100 F) and a maximum power of 2 W all of the numbers we need have been collected.
Max Temp = Junction + Mica/Grease + Heat Sink + Ambient
Max Temp = (4Θ * 2W)º + (0.4Θ * 2W)º + (25Θ * 2W)º + 38º
Max Temp = 8º + 0.8º + 50º + 38º
Max Temp = 96.8º
The maximum temperature rating for this part is 125 C, which means that this part is being properly cooled. [Bil] goes one step further in the video, showing how to calculate how much more reliable the properly cooled part will be.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 16:003D Printed Zipper Saves the Day!
[Amr] recently built a 3D printer and came across his first practical application for it – his jacket's zipper broke!
What we like about this project is [Amr] goes through the entire design process to finished product in his video. He starts by showing us the failed zipper, explaining where and why it failed, and then identifies the design features he needs to keep in order to make a functional replacement. To help accomplish this he checks out the Wikipedia article on zippers which shows an excellent animation of what happens inside of the zipper.
Now confident in his knowledge of all things zipper, he begins to model his replacement using SolidWorks, which is an industry standard among 3D CAD packages — for more information on how to use SolidWorks, we've been covering it in our 3D Printering articles!
Once satisfied with his 3D model, he tries to print it, but since it's so small it pops off the bed mid-print. He adds a brim feature to the part and then it prints perfectly, in just over 30 minutes. We're not sure if it was his first design iteration, but the zipper works on his jacket first try!
Of course we know he could have gone into town and bought a replacement zipper — but where's the fun in that? Have you ever repaired something trivial just because? Let us know in the comments!

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 13:01Gritz: An Open Source Speed Reading Tool
Here's a hack to help you increase your reading speed. Gritz is an open source text file reader, which reduces the need to look around the screen. Words pop up one at a time, but at a configurable pace.
[Peter Feuerer] got the idea for Gritz from Spritz, a commercial product for speed reading. The creators of Spritz took three years to develop their software, and recently released a demo. They claim people can read at 1000 WPM using this technology. Spritz is taking applications for access to their APIs, which will allow developers to integrate the software into their own applications. However, a fully open source version with no restrictions would be even better.
Using Gritz, [Peter] claims to have read a book with a 75% improvement in his reading speed. He admits it's not perfect, and there's still much development to do. Gritz is written in Perl, uses Gtk2 for its GUI, and comes with instructions for running on Linux, OS X, and Windows. It's released under the GPL, so you can clone the Github repo and start playing around with accelerated reading.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 12:00Searching For Makers In Washington DC
Despite there being an inordinate amount of techies and tech companies in the Washington, DC/Northern Virginia area, there aren't really that many hacker/makerspaces, or really anywhere else for tinkering, building, and generally futzing around with a soldering iron. [Zach] thought it was time for a change and is now organizing the second Make DC an informal get together to show off your latest projects and builds. Here's the best part: Hackaday is coming, and we're bringing some sweet swag.
Right now [Matt] has two talks lined up focused on bringing APIs into the physical world. There's space for plenty more speakers, so if you have something to show off be sure to sign up.
The event is scheduled for Wednesday, March 19, 6:30 PM, half a block away from the Dupont Circle Metro station. Be there. You'll get a sticker at least.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 10:01Hacking Dell Laptop Charger Identification
If you've ever had a laptop charger die, you know that they can be expensive to replace. Many laptops require you to use a 'genuine' charger, and refuse to boot when a knock off model is used. Genuine chargers communicate with the laptop and give information such as the power, current, and voltage ratings of the device. While this is a good safety measure, ensuring that a compatible charger is used, it also allows the manufacturers to increase the price of their chargers.
[Xuan] built a device that spoofs this identification information for Dell chargers. In the four-part series (1, 2, 3, 4), the details of reverse engineering the communications and building the spoofer are covered.
Dell uses the 1-Wire protocol to communicate with the charger, and [Xuan] sniffed the communication using a MSP430. After reading the data and verifying the CRC, it could be examined to find the fields that specify power, voltage, and current.
Next, a custom PCB was made with two Dell DC jacks and an MSP430. This passes power through the board, but uses the MSP430 to send fake data to the computer. The demo shows off a 90 W adapter pretending to run at 65 W. With this working, you could power the laptop from any supply that can meet the requirements for current and voltage.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 07:00USB Keyboard And Mouse For The PS4
If you'd like to play BattleCallSpaceMarine on the Playstation 4 with a keyboard and mouse – and have an unfair advantage over everyone else playing on a console – you'd normally be out of luck. Sony implemented a fair bit of software to make sure only officially licensed controllers are able to talk to the console. It took a while, but [Frank Zhao] has figured out why keyboard and mouse doesn't work on PS4, and created a device to enable these superior input devices.
Sony engineers decided – or were told – that the PS4 shouldn't be able to connect to any old USB device. To that end, they made the console issue challenges to a DualShock controller to make sure the official controller is always connected over Bluetooth.
[Frank]'s device solves this problem by taking the USB output from a keyboard and mouse, doing the CRC calculations, and sending them out over Bluetooth. Because the PS4 constantly issues challenges and responses of the authentication procedure, a real DualShock controller needs to be connected to the device at all times. Still, if you want a keyboard and mouse on the PS4, this is the way to do it.
All the sources and layouts are up on [Frank]'s github where you're free to create your own. This isn't a finished product quite yet; [Frank] still needs to do a redesign of the circuit. Judging from the response of his earlier attempt at keyboards and mice on the PS4, though, this may be a successful product in the works.

Monday, March 3, 2014 - 04:00The Stepper Driver Driver
The Stepstick and Pololu motor drivers are the heart of just about every Reprap electronics board, but they can go bad. The usual way of testing these things is to rig up a microcontroller on a breadboard, grab some cables, and wire something up. [Ken]'s Easy Stepper Motor Controller is a much simpler solution to the problem of testing these drivers and could, with a bit of practice, be constructed on a single-sided homebrew PCB.
The Easy Stepper Motor Controller is a very simple board with connections to a motor, a power supply, and headers for a single Pololu or Stepstick motor driver. Two buttons and a pot control the rotation of the motor with the help of an ATtiny10, and jumpers for up to 16x microstepping are right there on the board.
There's a video after the break showing what this stepper motor driver driver can do. It's not much, but if you're just testing a driver, it's all you need.

Storage Digest: News from Unitrends, Idealstor, Dell
Karen Schwartz
Posted 2005-07-06
Unitrends addresses system crashes with Hot Bare Metal ... Idealstor announces combination storage and backup appliance ... Dell blade servers offer more connectivity features.
Unitrends introduces new system protection and recovery software, Idealstor offers a multifunction appliance that combines storage and backup, and Dell provides more connectivity options for its PowerEdge 1855 blade servers.
Unitrends Addresses System Crashes with Hot Bare Metal
Unitrends of Columbia, S.C., has announced Hot Bare Metal software for system protection and recovery. The software enables users to obtain point-in-time, block-based "hot snapshots" of their operating systems concurrent with performing regular backups.
Hot Bare Metal allows administrators to capture complete image backups on a system without taking it down. If a crash occurs, the software lets administrators restore the system in 30 minutes or less.
The goal, according to Mark Phillippi, Unitrends director of product management, is to provide greater assurance to companies that system crashes and downtime will be minimized as much as possible. The ability to take snapshots with systems running is part of that goal, he said. The software, aimed at the SMB (small and midsized business) market, supports Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Unix. Get more information
Idealstor Announces Combination Storage and Backup Appliance
Removable disk-to-disk backup vendor Idealstor LLC of Gaithersburg, Md., has announced a combination storage and backup product that brings together the features of a redundant RAID 5 Array with the removable drive functionality of a traditional backup appliance. The resulting solution, called the Idealstor RAID Array with Removable ATA Drives (FrankeNAS), is split into two parts. Half of the appliance functions as a RAID 5 array of SATA (serial ATA) drives with capacities up to 1.8TB of native storage, while the other half is configured with as many as four removable drive bays that can accommodate an ATA drive with up to 1.6TB of removable storage. The result, said Ben Ginster, Idealstors channel manager, is a solution that allows backup administrators to schedule backup jobs to run to the RAID 5 array for nearline storage and offload the data to the removable drives to be stored offsite. By providing combined functionality, customers can avoid buying multiple NAS devices to back up and store data, and avoid buying multiple tape drives or removable disk devices to back up and remove the data to an offsite location, Ginster said. Get more information
Dell Blade Servers Offer More Connectivity Features
Dell PowerEdge 1855 blade servers now offer more connectivity options. The Dell Modular Server Enclosure can accommodate a variety of Ethernet, Fibre Channel and InfiniBand connectivity options from McData, Intel, Brocade, QLogic and Topspin, as well as from Dell itself. The goal, according to company officials, is to provide redundant server-to-storage connectivity and better integration of existing SAN fabrics. The McDATA 4314 Fibre Channel switch for the Dell PowerEdge 1855 is immediately available, with single switch pricing starting at $8,999. Get more information

Long Island Teacher Forced to Resign After Reality TV Appearance
In 1968 Andy Warhol famously stated, "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." Acknowledging oh-so-true this really is, when you claim your own 15 minutes, will your shining moment cost you your job? A Long Island teacher found out the hard way.
Meet Stefan Sherie. Newsday reports the 30 year-old teacher appeared shirtless at a pool party in a scene in Bravo's show, Princesses: Long Island.
The episode aired in early June and as per the piece, a little more than two weeks later Bellmore-Merrick Central School District administrators and union representatives informed him he would get fired if he didn't resign.The middle school health teacher and football, track and wrestling coach tells the newspaper, "I was coerced into resigning."
He adds, "This is more than a job; this is my life. I'm devastated."
Serie's attorney points out in the piece that the school's policy indicates a teacher's personal life is not grounds for discipline as long as it doesn't impact his or her ability to teach. In fact, the teacher plans to sue the district if he's not reinstated.
Well, more than 100 parents and students gathered last night before a school board meeting in North Merrick to show their support for Serie. Although people addressed the board by questioning his dismissal, board members did not respond. They declined to comment when the newspaper inquired, as did the superintendent.
So, what's the lesson learned here? Media rock stars, this can apply to you, too. We're certainly not attorneys given the fact he was in a union and the superintendent alluded to a "personnel matter," but the point is this: If your employer has a social media policy and other guidelines, they may have policies around behavior outside of work.
This can fall into a shade of gray but you may want to review the policies anyway. For instance, regarding social media some companies indicate employees must include a disclaimer indicating opinions are their own.

This will help the company to benefit from any recovery in the capex cycle both domestically and internationally.
Healthy order inflows over past couple of quarters: The company has secured orders worth Rs.1,800cr (up 39.5 % yoy) in 9MFY2014, taking the order backlog to Rs.3,820cr, implying an order backlog to sales ratio of 2.1x on a trailing basis. This includes a major order worth US$139mn bagged from Dangote Group in Nigeria for project management consultancy and EPC management.
Outlook and valuation: Although the company has reported weak revenues in 9MFY2014, the improvement in order inflows indicates recovery in revenue going forward. At the lower and upper limit of the price-band of Rs.145 and Rs.150, the stock is currently trading at valuations of 8.4x and 8.7x FY2015E Bloomberg EPS respectively which is lower than its 3-year average PE of 14.8x. Considering EIL's dominance in the hydrocarbon business and attractive valuations, we recommend Subscribe on the stock.

InfoWorld: What are [Microsoft's] chances that they can become a serious competitor to Linux as a Internet services company, given their business model going forward?
Young: They probably can make it an important part of their business in the not too distant future, but can they really give up this heroin-like addiction to their product sales? Looking at their balance sheet today, it would be a miracle if they could give away their OS and still hope to meet their investor's expectations any time soon.
InfoWorld: Compare the kernel technologies in Windows 2000 with what you will have this year in Versions 2.4 and 3.0 of the Linux kernel for things like scalability, multitasking support, and support of pervasive devices.
Young: Keep in mind that the Linux kernel is evolving forward faster than it ever has before. The number of very high-quality engineering teams now contributing to it from Oracle, SAP, and Transmeta is really quite high. Microsoft has its work cut out for it because the only people allowed to contribute to the Microsoft project are Microsoft engineers. I don't care how big Microsoft is; they don't have the engineering talent that the whole Internet represents.
InfoWorld: Are you taking any heart in the report that there could be some 60,000 imperfections in the shipping version of Windows 2000?
Young: To be fair, if there are 60,000 bugs in Windows, then there has to be arguably 30,000 bugs in Linux. The reason most are there is largely because most [users] never run into most of those bugs. The catch is when you do run into a bug, it could be a material one for your particular application. Under the proprietary model, all those bugs that don't impact your system are of no interest to you. But if you can't do anything about them, they could impact your system in material ways.

Basic Acco, good service
We really didn't have much choice as we were booking in the last min! However we got a 'Superior Double Room' for Rs 1800 per nite, which was clean and the service of the staff was good and prompt, so no regrets really! :)
Unique Quality: prompt service and polite staff, not in the typical touristy area, so chances of getting acco in this area is higher! They even gave us a complimentary pick up from the airport- all done with minimum fuss and a smile on their face!

Now it might seem ok because he's still pretty young... The differences may come later in life when he's in his retirement years and you aren't.
Your both grown so it doesn't matter
I know a couple who is 10 years apart. Their relationship is great!
Well it is definitely going to affect your relationship. It could go any number of ways, but it is likely that he probably has a slightly "dominant" role in the relationship - not in a negative sense necessarily, but just that his age gives him a little more authority in the relationship.
If you need to ask random people on the internet, maybe you already know the answer.
age does not matter what matters is that u love one another u are old enough
Maybe a little.
You're twelve years apart. He'll be 72 when you're 50 it's not a good idea

The Sea King Mk7 Airborne Surveillance and Control – known throughout the Navy as Baggers – are the 'eyes in the sky' of the Navy, searching for aerial threats to the Fleet – or suspicious movements on the ground in support of land forces. We owe our nickname to the distinctive inflatable black sack or bag on the side of each helicopter. It may look a rather cumbersome piece of kit from the outside, but inside that sack is the cutting-edge Searchwater 2000 radar capable of remarkably-accurate detection of surface and air targets. Once enemy units are detected, the helicopter's observers can direct friendly air, sea or ground forces to intercept – as they did with devastating effect during the fighting in southern Iraq in 2003. Right now, our aircraft and men and women are currently committed in the skies of Afghanistan, where the surveillance equipment is vital for tracking the movements of insurgents.

Ginkgo Bar Café Restaurant: Eurasian Food & Cocktails
This is where the neovo German cusine and the Thailandish cusine integrate. If you're walking around in Frankfurt, wondering where you could go to eat something completely different, and you've crossed them all off the list: "Italian - no, German - no, Chinese - no, Mexican - no, no no - I don't know!", then this is the place to come. Almost everything on the menu except for the cocktails is a culinary surprise.
Favorite Dish: The restaurant was named after the Ginkgo tree, which is appropriate for Frankfurt, because it was Goethe's favorite tree. They have a huge range of cocktails, and offer breakfast and have an interesting choice in Eurasian cuisine. The decore is cross between Japanese and Thailandish, and you have just go to try their artichoke salad with crabs tails. The menu changes according to the season, which always brings something new to try. The sidewalk tables are always packed with the weather is nice.- Food and Dining

Bodybuilder who has been jailed three times for squeezing muscles of well-built men 'has been at it again after he asked another victim to do squats in front of him'
- Akinwale Arobieke, 52, was handed a Sexual Offences Prevention Order after being jailed for five years for harassment
- He has since been jailed three times for flouting the SOPO
- Arobieke is accused of further breaches at Manchester Crown Court
Accused: Akinwale Arobieke, 52, is accused of breaching a Sexual Offences Prevention Order by touching well-built men
A bodybuilder who was banned from squeezing men's muscles or asking them to do squats has targeted more young males, a court has heard.
Akinwale Arobieke, 52, approached well-built men in Manchester city centre, Trafford and Bolton and touched their arms or shoulders, prosecutors allege.
Mr Arobieke denies any wrongdoing and says he is being set up by 'vindictive' people who know about his history of offending.
He was jailed for five years in 2003 for 15 charges of harassment and on his release he was given a Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO).
It bans him certain specific activities, including feeling a person's muscles or getting them to carry out 'squats' in public.
He has since been jailed three times for flouting the SOPO, and is now facing a further string of breaches at Manchester Crown Court - offences he denies.
Prosecutor Michael Brady told the court: 'The complainants in this case are all young men whose physical appearance and build hold a fascination for this defendant.
'Mr Arobieke has had, and continues to have an interest in body building.
'His interest extends beyond that which is legitimate and manifests itself in a way that we say is criminal.'
It's alleged that between April and June 2011, Mr Arobieke approached a 19-year-old man in Manchester and 'bumped into him' before striking up a conversation.
Targets: Arobieke has been accused of targeting young men in St Peter's Square, Manchester city centre, pictured, Trafford and Bolton
The man, now 20, told the jury Mr Arobieke followed him along the street and up towards the Triangle shopping centre in the city centre.
The alleged victim told the court: 'He stopped in front of me and held out his arm, because I had stopped answering his questions.
'He opened his rucksack which had different body building magazines and started showing me pictures of them and asking if I knew who they were.
'He asked if I could do particular poses.'
The man told how the defendant touched him on the shoulder and bicep, and said it was a 'very uncomfortable experience'.
More than year later, the man said he was approached by Mr Arobieke again several times, in St Peter's Square.
Mr Arobieke, who was defending himself, denies he ever met the man in the street and said there was no CCTV evidence that he approached him or followed him in St Peter's Square.
Arobieke, formerly of Liverpool, denies eight breaches of his sex offences prevention order.

Apple iPhone may capture 26 percent of smartphone buyers - report
While it has yet to ship its first cellphone, Apple is already tied with BlackBerry producer RIM in desirability, a just-published study reveals.Research group ChangeWave announced the findings on Thursday, confirming early suspicions from analysts that the iPhone will dull the impact of the BlackBerry Pearl and other smartphones in the eyes of potential subscribers.
Conducted in April, the study shows that just over a quarter of all potential buyers in the consumer field are set on buying the Apple phone when it launches this month. The figure is an exact match for future Canadian rival Research in Motion, whose BlackBerries have held their appeal in recent months.
Potentially more impressive is Apple's seeming foothold on the business market, ChangeWave says. Though the research firm conducted its study before reports surfaced of corporate account bans that prevent the iPhone from selling directly to businesses in the early phase of its release, findings from a corporate analysis in May point to 9 percent of study members preferring the new device to established rivals.
Apple is also causing a shockwave effect in the industry as a result, according to the report. Motorola, Nokia, and Palm have all seen rapid declines in their attractiveness to buyers since the end of 2006 — falling to 5, 3, and 10 percent respectively in the number of planned consumer phone purchases at the time of the April poll. And while RIM has cemented its position in the office world, climbing to 67 percent of all smartphones sold, Apple's presence may sap the strength of Motorola (16 percent) and Palm (19 percent), either of which "may well be in danger" of eroding marketshare, ChangeWave claims.
Irrespective of the business or home spheres, however, the study portrays the mid-2007 smartphone industry as a two-man race, with Apple set to outrun current followers and giving RIM genuine competition.
"Going forward, the Apple iPhone launch poses an enormous challenge to Palm, Motorola and Nokia — all of whom can be expected to record lows," the report says. "So whether talking about the consumer or the corporate [smartphone] space, it's quite clear that the iPhone spells trouble for many of the industry's players."

Rescue crews search Lake Anna for young child
UPDATED: Lake Anna search ends as young girl found dead
LOUISA, Va. (WTVR)–Rescue crews are searching for a 6-year-old girl, and possibly another victim, who fell into Lake Anna Monday afternoon, according to the Major Donnie Lowe with Louisa County Sheriff's Office.
Major Lowe told CBS 6 that the child fell into the water around 2:30 p.m. and couldn't be found. Sources tell CBS 6 reporter Jon Burkett, who will be live from the scene, that the missing girl is a Richmond kindergartner.
She was fishing with her grandfather when she slipped a fell into the water, Burkett reports. A 56-year-old went in after her, reached the girl, but they both became distressed.
The grandfather then goes in to try to help, but neither he nor the bystander are able to get the girl out.
Crews told CBS 6 that both the grandfather and bystander were able to get out of the water alive.
Rescue crews are looking for the girl on the cold side of the lake, confirmed Lowe. The search area is off Moody Town Road, in the Bumpass part of Louisa. Crews have a sonar boat in the water searching for the child.
***note. Louisa County Sheriff's Office first said that the child was 3-years-old.***
