Gikfun Mini Electronic Stereo Speaker Kit - EK1831
Made this video well over a year ago and wanted to get it up on UA-cam for you. I lost some of my original files, so it's not my best work, but still features the speakers pretty well. Even with Covid I'v been extremely busy with work, but hopefully now I will have more time to create and post more electronic videos for you guys. I picked up several more of these small kit builds, so expect to see more videos from me in the near future. I Hope you all are doing well, stay safe, and take care!

10W Laser Engraver
Переглядів 146 тис.7 років тому
First look at the 10W AS-5 Laser Engraver used for small projects. This laser is a great little tool for engraving wood, plastic and marking certain types of metal such as stainless steel and aluminum. Here is the Link to where I purchased my machine: www.aliexpress.com/item/10W-laser-AS-5-10000MW-big-DIY-laser-engraving-machine-diy-marking-machine-diy-laser-engrave/32652153790.html?spm=2114.30...
I had 2 PC-6's and also the Casio FX-795P, we used them every day in the oil field to calculate natural gas sales volumes, corrections for oil gravities, plus the necessary blackjack game. I added the extended memory and had the tape backup. Totally obsolete now but it was cutting edge tech back then. I also have the PC-7, the only drawback is that there is no backup so everything was lost when you changed batteries, and had to re-program it.
I still have my Tandy-6 calculator I dug out of my closet. What a great $119.99 at the ttime Computer calculator it is (plus the I forget added memory addition). I even have the Tandy-6 user's guide that is a great handbook along with all my other computer calculator simple programs written for statistics and finance. I'm a retired 60+ year old professional programmer for hire today to supplement my retirement income (money financing upon user for my programs to be discussed as programs are transferrable and took me expensive education and many hours to algorithm transfer to). The reason why I say this is for Microsoft Excel getting the most bang for the buck there. Some small dust bunny bugs got in but I changed all those button cell batteries that will last years (unless running computer alot). I am still having fun. I am looking for another Tandy-6 with extra memory to retain my programs since 10 banks of different programs gets used up for me to store them all. I even programmed many advanced math programs and also have my extra memory to that 15K memory bank but I still love it today to run my: Random deck of 52 card pick (with that famous horse game in manual), Spaceship encounters like Star Trek, matrice multiply but first asking for number of rows, columns and columns of second matrix, then another program doing mathematical row reduction of square matrix to row reduce and find determinant by matrix student ways, any size polynomial root funding algorithm (even complex roots), lottery pick randomizer, mortgage calculations by mortgage loan amount principle, years of loan and interest rate financed fixed rate common all programming calculator formulas, etc and etc. i don't have that cable because of the extra memory being so long extra many programs fit inside making it a fun gamer and advanced mathematics tool. People today don't need it since Microsoft Excel has become the best replacement in laptops for Visual Basic programming and cell activation programming. However that is a programmer expensive code writing ability stored encrypted to lock out cheating rich people not awarding professional code writing talents such as me for highly versatile programming code to be business competitive. The Tandy-6 is still functional for me and still doing its mathematics and gaming checks. I'm a university degreed software programmer able to think outside the box and write efficient code to speed up complex calculations coding. The programs I had struggled and coded are valuable themselves as is Microsoft laptop Excel spreadsheets programming on cell activations and programming them. Good luck with all your Tandy-6s but I'm a Java, C++, C, Fortran-IV, Basic, assembly code software retired engineer with those programs and how many good ones can be programmed into this Tandy-6 winner for me to have as a simple carry around extra!! 😂👍 For students not able to program and use these 6s for how great they program or Microsoft Excel there is instant programs in MATLAB and PSPICE and Wolfram Alpha (to even get graphs) and graphing calculators abilities. I don't need a graphing calculator but they could outdo my Tandy-6 in showing approximate polynomial roots finding but lack a matrice and gamers program writing Excel and Tandy-6 can do with advanced programmer lnowledge.
El programa Laser Acam 10W Si se instala en Windows 7 y quizas 8. Pero en Windowa 10 y 11 no. Tambien tienen que instalar el controlador USB Prolific para el laser antiguo sin actualizar
Update: Applesqueezer is a much better and cheaper accelerator solution instead of the Transwarp.
Couldn't agree more, in fact my new AppleSqueezer arrived about a month ago!!! It is much more solid, and I no longer have any issues with the computer crashing after an hour or so.
Just Perfect! you should show that cool graphical "Horse Race" game using basic language random function. Instead of each horse in the race, it was showing blinking diamond, heart, spade and club symbols. And the race was all the way from left of the display to right side. Mine was different brand (CASIO FX-795P) and helped me with all the hard exam questions in Uni. Thanks for reminding me good memories.
Used to play the Horse racing game alot on the PC-6. Good fun.
Can’t seem to open mine any help?
Tales? What are "tales"???? Pretty sure it's TAILS. Just sayin...LOL. I also still have mine that I picked up in 1987. I think the most useful function for me was the memo function...I think I had about every spanish verb test pre-loaded on there before the tests...I also wrote some pretty stupid programs..one of them was a pretty cheesy "AI" program which people could ask questions and then it eventually just told them to F off...because I was a kid..:) It was pretty cool for it's time. I think I also typed in the program in the book - the horse race program. I probably wasted way too much time on that thing... Good Video though :
LOL -Tales, ya don't know what I was thinking that day, but oh well I updated the spelling of it....LOL I also have some Casio's from around that mid 80's period that I want to do some videos on. I used the memo function all the time. Packed it with all my math equations for physics. It was a great little tool.
Great video. Just picked up a PC-6, had a PC-4 back in the 80's. One thing I can't get around is that any program I enter in stops at every line of code, requiring hitting the exe key to continue. Trace is NOT on, and stop commands are not in the code anywhere. I know this isn't the way this thing is supposed to work. Long shot to get a comment from you since this video is pretty old. Crossing my fingers.
Hello Jeff, can you send me the program or code you're trying to use? Would like to take a quick look at it, and even try it in my PC-6. My email address is dean@netlogix.us
@@dsfryda Public shout out to Dean: Thanks for correcting the syntax in my code. Getting a kick out using this old unit again.
Don't remember if the PC6 was a Sharp product or not, but all the Sharp-based RS pocket computers had a "PAUSE" command that you could use instead of PRINT... e.g. if you did PAUSE "Hello", it would print the word Hello and then wait for .8 seconds, then automatically continue with program execution.
can you send me the link for the driver i bought one but never got the driver link
Hi. I have a problem like you at your s video on 1:17:33. Please. What is the problem ? Thank You.
how's the weight loss goin?
i have 10w laser engraving but why my engraver can't engrave the metal like you do you have the setting
Once my hinges cracked it was downhill from there but I loved my PC-6.
Is it really 10w can engrave rhe metal item? Please advise me
What the parameters or settings need to change?
I saw a 10W laser engraver, it's Neje but in the description said that need 10W of power to be on, if you put a lower power this don't will be on, but I don't know if they said the Laser need 10W of the plug or the Laser cannot be modified to work with a 5 o 3 W laser
Can you choice the time that the laser be in the material? Can i use it for paper or this 10W its too much?
Hello Guillermo! You can set both the time and power of the laser. You can reduce both the power and time the laser is on a spot to easily and cleanly cut paper with no problems.
Thx for the vid! Really helped!
One of the features I used often, not mentioned in video, is the Memo which I used as proto-digital diary. I had to keep it on for the alarm to alert me of appointments though.
I used the memo all the time. I would store all my equations in the memo and then recall them into the function memory to solve. Made those 3x5 note cards useless!
I can't find this laser, can you please send a new link?
These guys are seriously advertising 10W output? My foot. 10W input maybe, lol. The refractions didn't even fry your camera, so I would say this thing's output is probably less than 2 Watts. Judging by the finish on those tools you etched, it doesn't look like it's doing much more than ablating off the anodizing. Consider giving L-Cheapo Mk6 (and some better goggles) a try.
Story I heard which Ibelieve is the processor got gimped to avoid competing with the mac and that steve jobs soaked up as many resources as possible to effectivly have control of apple via the mac which was his pet project even though the II line were their breadwinners. I really wish the mark twain had come out and at least one VGA card had shipped.
Hello Andrew. I heard that story as well. If my memory serves me, I think it came out at like 4 MHz. Just think, you go to the store, you walk over to the Apple section, and they are going to have the two "best" computers from the different lines sitting next to each other. What would you buy? I computer that was full color, a desktop like the mac, had awesome sound, had a much better keyboard and mouse, tons of expansion space and still could run all that software you still have sitting at home, or you were using at school. It was a no brainer. If the IIgs would of been allowed to run at the full speed, to the consumer of the day, there would have been no reason to spend the money on a Mac. If Apple would of spent any money promoting this machine, it really could of been a big money maker for them. Eventually the processor would of been the shortcoming, but by then they might of had a different solution. But oh well. I still have my IIgs and it run at 14MHz, which is 2x what the Mac of the day ran at....LOL
@@dsfryda I remember digging into what the GS+/Mark Twain could have done (1.44mb disk drive integrated, integrated hard drive, changeover to dimm slots for ram vs individual chips, and that's discounting any potential firmware upgrades.) I wish they had done it. Hell, it's a machine I would've wanted since at the time my school still had a lot of iie's, up until highschool I used word perfect and even after the switch to windows we still had a lot of dos machines that ran word perfect. One of the biggest things that could have helped a theoretical GS+ would have been a vga/svga video card giving it access to 'normal' monitors. Still would have died by the mid 90's but apple, I believe, would have had just a little more wiggle room.
Hi what software did you use it in this video
Look what my laser can do ua-cam.com/video/ka_iYASWu2o/v-deo.html
Does this machine do copper
Can typing on glass perfume
I just found one of these at goodwill for $2. It's actually the pc-5 tho, but looks almost identical. The batteries on mine are dead but I am worried about stripping the screws if I attempt to remove the cover. Any tips? Thanks.
Very neat, I thought I was the only one of the possibly 5 or 10 people in the world who still has my PC-6, also with the 8K ram module installed, cassette interface, box and manual which i bought new from Radio Shack back in the day. I also have the PC-8 box and manual and I still use them quite often. I don't have any parts computers of them so I have not had the guts to take mine apart. they still work as if brand new. I used to have the PC-7 as well but someone stole it when I was in high school in 1990 ($%#%%). Thank you for the video!
Hello Mike, I know what you mean, haven't seen anyone else with these calculators since college, and even then, there was only one or two others that had them. If you look on eBay, you can find them from time to time like I did. Funny you mentioned the PC-7, I still have mine with the manual. Great calculator, just a little short on memory with only 2k, but you still could write some cool programs to get you though calc and trig. I would like to do more videos, just need to find time. Thanks for watch and thanks for subscribing! Dean
Hi what software did use in this video and how do you make the text color white.
i wonder that could work whit a lead screw cnc machine
Thank you for mentioning that the laser can reflect off metal and permanently damage your eye. Its very important to state this.
how much is this unit? I cant find any info on it anywhere. please lend a hand.
Hi Theresa, there is a link to Aliexpress in the description above that will take you right to where I bought it. Just be aware that they have newer models that are driven at 15W now. I've had my unit for over 2 years now and it's still working great.
could you do a die cast little car? like a logo on hood or roof?
You can, but it would just burn the paint off leaving the logo on the exposed metal.
Hi Dean, thanks for your video. Have you or will you try cutting profiles in Plastic/Perspex/Acrylic/Foamed Plastic/Plywood/Basla wood etc...10 Watts should cut through upto maybe 5mm material I think. Would be really interested to know, as the Laser machine looks like excellent value for money and well built. Thanks again.
Hello MrFreddiew1. I've tried cutting through plastic and Acrylic, but it had problems. It melted the edges and of coarse you really need to vent the fumes because of the horrible smell. Plywood and especially Balsa wood it cuts through like a champ. Like you said, you want to keep the material under 5mm.
@@dsfryda Thank for your response, good to know it can do plastics, I mean cut through plastics.
@@MrFreddiew1 10w SHOULD be great with darker plastics or rather, preferably, acrylic/perspex
im trying to make a maze game inside of it its on my channel what i have to now(not spam)and it looks good at the moment try it but i made a little changes on it
Came across this looking on how to make your own metal business cards. I know this video is a couple of years old, but can this do the metal cards and how much was this unit? It did seem pretty slow is there a newer faster one do you know? Can you recommend anything for business cards that are stainless or aluminum etc.? Thanks great video.
friend someone stole your video ua-cam.com/video/jbuTbApOkHM/v-deo.html
Very Cool Video
Hi. How much is the thickest thing that you have cut with the laser? saludos desde Colombia
Have you ever tried to etch slate,marble,stone. Would be nice to find out. Thanks.
Thank you for the awesome video. I need your help. could you try to engrave on copper? ang what will be the result.
As far as I'm aware Casio made all of Radio Shack's calculators. This one is a rebranded CASIO FX-795P. Great little machine in it's day. I miss Radio Shack. :-(
I too miss Radio Shack. I used to love being able to just drop down to the local store and check out the parts display. There was something always nice about checking out the wall of electronics parts. I always walked out of that store with a bag full of parts that I really didn't need....LOL
No, not all of them. Some of Radio Schack's calculators were made by Sharp, as you can see in other videos. ;-)
Hello, did you test on 316L stainless steel? do you think it will engrave on it? thank you
Greetz fellow micro computer nerds. I also purchased my pc-4, pc-5, and pc-6 back in the 80's and learn how to program with them. I remember writing a checkbook program back then that was cool. Gonna look for some batteries today and fire those babies up!
please email me the software as I want to play with it before my shipment arrives. thanks. markedmundvicuna@gmail.com
Do you have follow up info to add? Thanks for the video! Where did you find the GS?
I haven't done a follow up yet. I bought this IIGS in high school, so I've had it over 30 years. I updated the memory and added the CF card reader a few years ago. You can find a ton of IIGS computers and peripherals on Ebay.
NetLogix, Inc. Thanks for the feedback!
You use strength laser how many And how much writing speed?
Hi ... I have a problem with this device, it synchronizes with the device but does not execute it
I can not do as you do. Make the logo white on the flashlight. Can you recommend me a setting?
The flashlight was anodized aluminum, so the laser took the outer layer off leaving the silver aluminum color underneath exposed.
Can you recommend settings in the software? Make the laser work exactly as you describe it. I have tried it myself. But the results did not come out as intended.
Will this engraver ,engrave on Clear Acrylic panel
Hello Anthony! Yes it will engrave on clear acrylic, and it does an awesome job on it.
Hi! I'd like to use this machine to carve in writings into a steel coin. Would 10W suffice? Or do I need to go for 15W? Thank you for your feedback.
Hello Phil, I would suggest maybe trying the 15W. It doesn't leave a mark on steel. On stainless it leaves a gray mark, but it's only on the surface. You cannot feel the mark.
