 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

to nite i have just rebuilt a dual bank of transistors thats 7 2n3055`s 14 in toll they provide the switching for my inverter it has a 64 volt center tapped trans former on the secondarys its primary is 250 volt now as i wait for the bread board from "hamfield" i can build a simple controller cct with a 555 timer and 4013 cmos to fire it up ..manually ...but i am going to wait till i get the bread board expander from "hamfield ...now program wise i have a program that was "written by gerard and a special sorce code hex file ...gerald is the person who has helped me dearly and i am in debit to his work that i appreaciate very much. the program that he has written for me allows frequency adjustment up to five Khz and also allows the adjustment of the "mark space ratio " and also a voltmeter so i can watch the battry voltage...:":,,, maybe this will give you some idea of what i am actully doing with the maxi ...on the other hand gerard wrote me a program that switches between pins one to thre setting one pin high at a time in a loop there fore switching video signals from my three survailance cameras around my house.... it is being powered by one of don`s embedded boards and a modified silicon chip pre amp stuidio series pre amp it can actully run 12 cameras at a time if i wanted but would only disply on two monitors well sorry if i have not included enough info but there you have it regards sparkey technicians do it with least resistance |

Nice projects. [quote]...a program that switches between pins one to thre setting one pin high at a time in a loop there fore switching video signals from my three survailance cameras around my house...[/quote] This is a project I also want to do it on my property but will take a while as is not a priority. Also I want a defending mechanism against fox attacks but that is not yet clear in my mind, it may involve some mini rovers and a network of motion detectors to activate on night. The mini rovers can be already in position before I will be able to get my slippers to go out. And before something wrong may happen. But also involve a lot of hardware and is at the end of my to do list so I just keep thinking. Vasi Hobbit name: Togo Toadfoot of Frogmorton Elvish name: Mablung Miriel Beyound Arduino Lang |

Vasi, A little off topic, but apparently a good distraction for foxes is to go around the area you want to protect and urinate. Sort of like marking your territory?!? I haven't tried it myself, and I imagine it would be a night time activity to avoid scaring the neighbours!

We could also send you over some Drop Bears from Australia to Romania. The're well known here for keeping the foxes away.  RayB from Perth WA |

They already have vampires and you want to send them drop bears ? Heh, this is getting silly. Rob unzip, strip, touch, finger, grep, mount, fsck, more, yes, fsck, fsck, fsck, umount, sleep |

@aargee, a male will mark over it to mask the smell so, don't try it, is useless. "@Ray B" your drop bear will become droppings bear if encounter the local ones: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmLkd_btU9U&feature=fvwrel @haiqu, thanks! Thanks for the advices guys, I would like to keep the mini rover variant as a good alternative to be there in the right time. Vasi P.S. I think this post qualifies to the "Shop Talk" forum...

Eh Vasi, Just get a puddy cat !!!!!! twice now I have seen our old cat in a fight with a fox and both times the fox took off bleeding. Our old cat is called 'Munchy' and just about everyday he brings home a rabbit or hare, tries to bring it inside then takes it under the house for a feed. We got a young female cat and he has taken her under the wing and between them the mouse problem has gone and in just over 9 years we have never lost a chook to a fox. Cheers Bryan |

Hi Bryan, My daughter like cats. She ask me to bring her one but we must protect the pigeons. Here is a mini rover with a cell phone and Arduino. But is one of a lot of similar projects. A functional drone have video transmission and when you have the target in sight, you can take photo shots or activate a spray or a stun device.
