Welcome to my little corner of Open Circuits.
  
 
I think I first stumbled across Open Circuits on 2006-03-01.

== scoreboard clock ==
 +
 
 +
I have been handed most of a classic basketball scoreboard.
 +
 
 +
Each digit on scoreboard has 20 incandescent lamps:
 +
 
 +
    * * * *
 +
    *    *
 +
    *    *
 +
    * * * *
 +
    *    *
 +
    *    *
 +
    * * * *
 +
 
 +
 
 +
I hope to someday turn it into a clock and get it listed on the
 +
[http://www.hackersbench.com/giants.html Unofficial Registry of Giant Digital Clocks"].
 +
 
 +
Should I divide up each digit into 7 segments, like most digital clocks,
 +
or should I add more hardware so I can control each lamp individually?

 +
== Open Circuits wiki ==
 +
 
 +
In 2013, the OpenCircuits wiki went offline for a while,
 +
during the handover when I was trying to take over maintenance of the OpenCircuits wiki.
 +
 
 +
Oops.
 +
 
 +
There's still a few things not quite right --
 +
after I thought I had completely restored the wiki, the "[[Open Circuits:Community Portal]]" doesn't exist at all,
 +
but I can see through the Wayback Machine [https://web.archive.org/web/20130831175940/http://www.opencircuits.com/Open_Circuits:Community_Portal]
 +
that there used to be a discussion there.
 +
I wish I knew what else needs to be restored.
 +
 
 +
Some ideas for possibly improving the OpenCircuits wiki:
 +
* Install the "Math" extension so we get pretty TeX formulas (<math>\sqrt{20140218}</math>). Done!
 +
* Install the SpamBlacklist extension. Done!
 +
* Install something to make in-browser schematic editing or viewing or simulating or all three easier. In no particular order:

Hi David, I noticed that a bunch of open circuits is just a placeholder.  I'm effectively retired so I can probably help contribute to this Wiki by expanding a bunch of the sections, but the spam here is really way out of control.  I look at the revision history and I see a good 10+ spam edits per day.  Don't you think it's time to try requiring a logon to make edits?  I thank that would really reduce the spam.  Asking people to use a human controlled e-mail address is not that much.  It's not like people need to give their real name and address or anything.  I think you will find that more people will be willing to contribute if the spam problem is handled. Eliminating the spam is more of a problem at this point then getting people to contribute. It would also free up your time to focus more on real editing.

I am beginning to suspect that it may not be possible to avoid all 22 problems unless the protocol is at least as complex as TCP/IP.

Latest revision as of 22:50, 10 October 2015

Welcome to my little corner of Open Circuits.

I think I first stumbled across Open Circuits on 2006-03-01. I had been starting to set up a electronics-related wiki, but since this one was already here, why bother?

Feel free to leave a note on my talk page.

I created the WikiNode.

scoreboard clock[edit]

I have been handed most of a classic basketball scoreboard.

Each digit on scoreboard has 20 incandescent lamps:

   * * * *
   *     *
   *     *
   * * * *
   *     *
   *     *
   * * * *


I hope to someday turn it into a clock and get it listed on the Unofficial Registry of Giant Digital Clocks".

Should I divide up each digit into 7 segments, like most digital clocks, or should I add more hardware so I can control each lamp individually? --DavidCary (talk) 22:50, 10 October 2015 (PDT)


Open Circuits wiki[edit]

In 2013, the OpenCircuits wiki went offline for a while, during the handover when I was trying to take over maintenance of the OpenCircuits wiki.

Oops.

There's still a few things not quite right -- after I thought I had completely restored the wiki, the "Open Circuits:Community Portal" doesn't exist at all, but I can see through the Wayback Machine [1] that there used to be a discussion there. I wish I knew what else needs to be restored.

Some ideas for possibly improving the OpenCircuits wiki:

Electronic projects[edit]

(Should I move these to dedicated pages such as electronics workbench, etc.?)

wind turbine maximum power point tracker[edit]

moved to maximum power point tracker

thermal imaging[edit]

David Cary did some work thermal imaging parts on a PCB a few years ago. I hear some people say you can see stars in the daytime with a (far-IR) thermal imager. I'm thinking about getting my own thermal imager. Perhaps something like:

cheap-thermocam: an arduino project[2] via "DIY Thermal Imaging System for under $200"[3]

anti-spam[edit]

see spam.

I prefer public communication so I avoid the problems associated with (the perception of) back room decisions.

--DavidCary 18:03, 4 February 2008 (PST)

electronics workbench[edit]

What exactly do I need for "normal" electronics development? I have a pile of stuff, and I have a wishlist of more stuff ... I hope to document which things are important to have, which things are useful but not immediately necessary, and which things ended up just gathering dust.

I wish there were a place like TechShop somewhere local.

  • filing cabinet for all the miscellaneous bits of paper. If at all possible, I attach instruction manuals to the actual tool -- but if that is awkward, I stick the instruction manual in this filing cabinet.

data collection network[edit]

I'm building a "data collection network" that may end up with hundred of microcontroller sensor nodes, piping data into a PC. This may turn into a serious medical diagnosis tool.

POV display[edit]

(moved to POV display)

Full-color LED lighting[edit]

I'm planning to build a silly little toy with 3 LEDs -- one for red, green, and blue -- to show how "additive colors" work (a "color wheel"). (I might just extend it to have a whole spectrum of visible and infrared LEDs, and a prism to show the little spikes in the spectrum that LEDs generate).

"PC Card" PCMCIA[edit]

I maintain the unofficial PC Card FAQ.

I'd like to move it to a wiki. What would be the best wiki to put it on? Open Circuits?

Hi,

My name is Alan, I am a web developper and a music junky. I am working on music web project. We are building a network of local wiki radio, where everyone are DJ and contribute the music ambiance, the local information page and the general atmosphere.

I am writing to you because we are promoting indie artists and are looking for feedback, on features that would most suits them, from people with a hacker mindset.
