its just practice. I started out building arcade machines as a kid, then
repairing monitors & power supplies, then got an engineering degree,
then started building monstrous SMPS.


My current project is that I am tinkering with a
design I have thought of for tangential tone arm for a
turntable. It involves a small DC motor, 2 IR varistors and
a IR LED. Early stages yet but you never know.

cool. projects are a great way to learn. I just got an old amstrad
CPC6128 computer, which I will use to hack some Z80 based videogames.

On a not so unrelated note, I saw a website a few years back, where a
guy had scanned an LP with an OTS flatbed scanner, then wrote some code
to read off the audio. it was pretty appalling, but still recognisable.

Cheers
Terry

Yes I did see that. Basically he scanned the LP and then unwound the spiral
groove and "hey presto" an analogue wave form.

It has progressed from there just a bit. see http://www.elpj.com/
Basically they use CD technology i.e. several Lasers to read the bumps in
the LP grooves. A fantastic idea, it is just a shame it does not sound any
good. BTW they do not work with coloured vinyl and the "stupid" electronics
don't know a scratch or a piece of dust from a intentional bump in the
groove. So error correction and filtering are quite complex. Actually as a
study in what modern technology can achieve over archaic design it is
stunning example of how the old stuff is just better. i.e. laser scanning
as opposed to dragging a piece of rock through a bumpy groove ;-) Honestly,
there is no comparison in the end result.

I do love tinkering with electronics and software, it is just a shame that
I'm not 30 years younger and had a head for this stuff ;-) I do feel once
they start putting logic chips in kettles and toasters the World as we know
it is doomed ;-) But then that was said about Gasoline dispensers when they
started to put them in black smith shops over a hundred years ago ;-)

Not much chance of that happening TT. :-(
Brian Goldsmith is galloping down the racetrack with the blinkers on.
Tunnel visioned, he can so no option but to make a horse's arse out of

Well, since most of these guys have (apparently) killfiled us, we may as

well talk amongst ourselves ;-)

Killfile = Placing both index fingers in ears and chanting "Nah! Nah! Nah!
I can't hear you." It doesn't stop the accuracy of the message or alter the
real World very much, does it?

Just thought I would add that.

Cheers TT

PS "Whistle! Whistle! Whistle! Come on boys?" Just going to take
Pavlov's dogs for a walk ;-) Bassett, down boy! Here's a bone :))

Just a thought here perhaps you should send PA a can or two. It's the only

way he will ever have any pals at all :)) Maybe a can or two of chum as
well.

Since we are in the generous mood how about some offal (guts) as well but
there will no need to send any more poultry manure - his flat is already
full of "chicken shit"!

I will get right on to it. I have some old box's from WES, I will send

them back to WES marked, "To be Collected by the toaster man" that
should find him, no trouble at all.
And by the time he collects it, it should be nice and ripe.

You probably have more to worry about when you plug the electric kettle,
the
microwave or toaster/toaster oven, and a few other kitchen appliances from
the same circuit simultaneously.
I know people who do that and can't be told the simple reason why the
circuit breaker keeps tripping on them.
Click to expand...
I turned everything I had on to test completely new wiring in my house,
which including some large pumps and 1,000W lights, came to about 7500VA,
approaching the 32amp "max". I wanted to see what would trip first, it was
the lights interestingly enough they were only 16x 8w CFL's. I didn't have
anything left to see what would trip next... :-D never see the meter spin so
fast
