Led strip random scrolling light effect for a large hamster wheel
This was for a project that took the speed of a man sized rotating drum and would light an led strip with a random scrolling pattern that would scroll at a speed proportional to the speed and direction of rotation of the drum. Speed was sensed using a rotatry encoder and ligting was managed using an Arduino Mega programmed using the fastled library. Total number of LEDs were 196, WS2812 chipset. Patterns were created using the palette function in the fastled library and pre-defined palettes. Whenever the drum was stationary for a period if time, it would revet to a static, sparkly, rainbow.

Demonstration of an interactive display for a panic room, whereby the participant holds a fuse wire (with magnet in) to an artificial flaming torch (with reed switch in) to light a cannon fuse. This starts the led strip to display a flicker head of the fuse and a fading yellow to red trail. This was done usong WS2812 led strip and the fastled library on arduino Nano. Design could also control t...
Indesit IDC85 belt fitment - getting belt over pulley
Переглядів 112 тис.5 років тому
I'm sure you've seen other videos that show you how to get the belt onto the drum. However most don't go into detail on how to actually get the belt ONTO the pulley and some show the technician just "pop" the belt on, which is misrepresentative of whats actually involved. Here I show the method how i got the belt over the pulley. This might be similar for other condenser tumber dryers. Please l...

Here is my entry for the flashing light contest 2017. I have based my design on exploiting the lower operating voltage characteristics of a typical relay and have developed a sort of Electromechanical schmitt trigger, which I have then turned into an oscillator. I explain what if found during testing of the relay and how I implemented my findings into my entry design. Many thanks for watching a...
Banggood Panel Voltmeter Settings and Setup as an Ammeter
Переглядів 20 тис.7 років тому
I bought this display on Banggood for a project, and was curiuos about the button on the back which lead me to this video and finding out that this panel meter, sold as a voltmeter, can also be deployed as an Ammeter if you use the appropriate shunt resistor. I also figured out how to navigate the menu and what each menu number was. DIsplay can be found here: www.banggood.com/0_56-Inch-DC-0-103...

    Nice job! What I love about these old scopes is that for the most part (outside of the CRT) most parts are readily available. So you can keep this rig going for years to come. Also the charm of analog switches and immediate feedback with no latency digital scopes have.

  • @campbellmorrison8540
    @campbellmorrison8540 11 місяців тому

    Excellent video thank you. Im working on the same model of scope but my fault is that varying the intensity is affecting the trace vertical positions, as the intensity increases the trace spacing drops to the point it starts pulsing the vertical. I feel sure its in the same area but I havent found it yet but your video has helped me get my head around this area of the scope cheers

    Take the bearing off the back and pull the back panel away slightly so you can drop the drum 25mm then the belt will fly on and then just put the drum shaft back through its hoke and put it all back together,,

    I'm pretty sure the original post was discussing the most common spring high carbon steel aka spring steel. There's rare occasions when they are made from nickle, copper, or stainless steel so what various alloys are you talking about?. Anyways, you need to heat the spring and make literally some effort to reshape the spring, quench it, check the shape is correct for function, and temper the spring. It must be formed hot or it will.... Spring back like springs do.

    Coincidentally... I've a Hameg HM203-5 that I stored in the shed for a few years and the trace stopped working not long after powering it up for the 1st time. The circuit + opto-isolator are almost identical to the model you cover in the video. It was also hot to the touch. The chip actually measured OK in a universal tester, but the capacitance of the diode was zero, which looked iffy. Replaced and all working again! Cheers.

    Grab the belt from behind the pulley, grab the belt from the side of the drum and pull down, then slip the belt over the pulley, no need for a screwdriver.

    • @chriswouse7713

  • @yurialcatraz7424
    @yurialcatraz7424 2 роки тому

    Vero, nei vari video si vede montare la cinghia sul tendicinghia in un modo che sfrega sulla parte in plastica che copre il condensatore e di conseguenza alla lunga si rompe, infatti la mia è sporca di nero in quel punto, perciò anch'io avevo pensato di montarla come hai fatto tu e lo farò appena arriva la cinghia nuova.

    @chupacabra1765 2 роки тому

    You have no idea what your doing. If a spring his hyper tensioned beyond its tempered limit, it aint the hell going to go back to its original shape. It has to be heated evenly at a narrow temperature range and then manipulated back into shape and then a controlled re heating annealing process to make it serviceable . A torch like yours is not suitable for this task, the it has too high a temp range withing the confines of the tiny flame. Go back to reading Harry Potter there's no magic here.

    Thanks for this Chris! Exactly the same experience as all the other commenters. Even after stretching, belt seemed 3 or 4 inches short of getting anywhere near the pulley but at least this gave me the confidence that it was the right belt and it would stretch with perseverance. Was hard work though! The Espares video is great apart from this bit and also dropping it round the front of the drum. Guy did it easily on his machine. I had to practically dismantle the front to get a gap to get the belt round. Thanks for posting this!
