When the switch is turned on, AC electricity from the wall outlet is converted to DC through a transformer and bridge rectifier. The DC voltage causes current to flow through a light emitting diode and current limiting resistor, causing the diode to emit a soft blue light.

Basically what Sydney said, it's electronic snake oil.

It kind of works if you're using it like guy in the gif; save electricity by blocking your power outlets

How much chip can current output?

You may need a buffer to drive the LED but I'm not sure, I haven't read your chip's datasheets.

So read the dam datasheets.

oh and from looking at your code, I mean I don't really know how that particular chip works but I feel like it goes through ones and done. So it might actually be turning the LED on for a fraction of a second.

Try having an infinite loop on PORTB=1 or a latch of some sort, that might fix it.

Basically play around with it.

through once*

Well, I got it working.

Had no external oscillator, settings in mikroC was expecting there to be one, changed it over to use internal osc. Bam.

sounds like a good way to get in the shit

Might as well walk in there and drop a bag of the purest shard on their desk

Maybe you should educate yourself, amphetamine has been an indispensable medication in everything from narcolespy to ADHD

I know the majority of pharmaceuticals are toxic or fatal when abused and that's assuming that they work (looking at you, antidepressants)

Everything we use in our world exists in an equilibrium between having no effect and being fatal. Everything the OP has outlined has many beneficial uses, when not abused.

you have no idea, an old 'friend' wanted me to run an mdma lab

fuck that shit

>>5727
headphones run at such low impedance that even if you do ge them to work the sound quality will decrease dramatically

>>5730
But they're the same kind of wire from the same kind of headphone. Why wont it work?

>>5726
That picture is fucking horrible I can't see shit, but it's probably just nylon fibers, you should be able to melt them off with your soldering iron. If it's not working at all you may have a short in your plug, or you didn't make a good connection with your solder. As basil said the audio quality is going to be noticeably diminished by the solder.

>>5740
Oh wait I just saw your second puc and realized what you meant by splice, if you removed the coating and you're sure you have the wires contacting its probably a short in the plug, repaiting these will be more trouble than it's worth.

EE here, fixing headphone cables isn't difficult. You will need a multimeter to check and triple-check according to continuity, not according to color. You also need to solder, wire-twisting won't cut it. Also, insulate everything from everything as you go... heatshrink is your friend.

I'm pretty sure the white 'n fuzzy is just for wire strength or flexibility, it's definitely not a conductor. Do away with it.

Yeah it's me, that was the night that Glenn Beck came to town to do a book signing. I dressed up like a conservative and went to meet him, that's what I wore.

>>5715
You magnificent bastard.

and like a sophisiticated mother fuck, you pulled it off

I tend to go for a getup quite non descript, but still conservatively stylish. Isaac clarke has some inspiring suit designs, so I tend to go with something that very loosely resembles his getup.

I try to avoid looking hipster at every advantage, for they are mindless scum

You should take a look at Buckminster Fuller, and his ideas on architecture, the Dymaxion House, the Geodesic dome and the Fly Eye.

I'm not expecting any building to be 100% impermeable but it's nice to have such risks minimized, and in case of a fire, more of my house is left standing. I really don't want anything flammable inside of my house. I want the inside walls to be concrete, block or brick as well, like they were in this one school I went to as a child, where it was done really nicely and didn't make you feel like you were in a prison cell. If not that, then drywall on metal studs. I don't want any carpet at all, only polished concrete and tile. No curtains, only storm blinds on the outside of the house, since I live near the Gulf of Mexico and hurricanes are a concern. The only flammable things in the house are going to be furniture in each room and possibly the cabinets in the kitchen, so if a fire does occur, hopefully it will be contained to one room and not cause nearly as much damage as it could in a wood frame house.

My wife and I had always planned on building our house from a metal building, one that looks like a workshop, and concrete is the new idea we're exploring. We don't like wood frame houses. I know they can be good enough, but they're simply not as strong as other materials. I don't see any reason why not to buy a new mobile home, wind zone 3 and climate zone 3, and set it on a concrete slab rather than build a wood frame house.

>>5734
You do realize mobile homes are built for transportation and use the lightest materials for the sake of not destroying the roads, right? Even when it's rated for those weather conditions, it's going to be built out of toothpicks. I'm talking 2x3 studs with hurricane straps and other flimsy bullshit. There's no way you're getting concrete walls from a fucking double wide. As for fire prevention, mobile homes are notorious for burning down in 30 minutes or less.

>>5735

>2x3 studs

40 years ago, sure.

>with hurricane straps

Yeah, that's a good idea for any pier and beam structure.

>There's no way you're getting concrete walls from a fucking double wide

No kidding. What I am saying is that if I decided to build a wood frame house on my land, it would hardly be a step down to install a mobile home instead, and save myself a lot of time and expense. But that's not even what I made this thread for, so save your time.

>>5717
What about steel framing...

This is poorlyengineerthread/10

>>5644
this is awesome, please do it
also, you will need someone who has done an engine swap before (or atleast replaced an engine)

you're gonna need a crane

>>5682
and a crance for the crane

>>5644
I have a feel it wouldn't fit. mustangs are generally rear wheel drive and I would bet your saab isn't (not looking it up idgaf).... you've gotta pack a transaxle under your hood, in addition ot the engine.

>>5644

Its not going to happen. At least, not without serious unibody work. If you just want to go faster op get a 3-inch exhaust and a reflash for the computer, it will be much faster.

Because noneed, the third world barely civilized societies america invades don't have stairs

why dont i just get a bigger wheer that will climb over it either way?

>>5692
The triwheel has a few good tricks unique to itself.
It absobs an impact by rotating, even though the Landmaster had no suspension the ride was smooth even at high speed over rough terrain, check the videos, they were really moving, but every time they hit a rock or hole the triplet just swings over.
It can climb by locking the wheels and running power to the triple wheel brace. Like that it moves like it has legs and will clear obstacles that would stop even a wheel that size.
If a tyre blows, you can just roll it over and lock the frame.
You can run the wheels AND triframe, and use it as a paddlewheel.

look up the gothic arch, they're difficult to construct out of balsa, but if you make an effective jig to form it, they can be insanely strong.

I made a 2' tower out of balsa using 4 gothic arches, and it held 136lbs. it weighed less than an ounce.

Back in my day, all the fancy suspension style bridges made of balsa for this test failed miserably. It's a great design with heavy materials IRL, but doesn't scale well to a brittle wood. The design that held the most while still remaining light was basically a straight mimicry of cardboard, plain and simple.
