Animatronic Parrot Automation Test (..using PicoBoo-Plus prop controller)

Video upload for a client.. Automated Animatronic Parrot test using the PicoBoo-Plus-Prop-Controller (triggered from a RemoteTec "8-channel wireless remote relay system" from.. www.rfremotech.com) The remote system triggers larger DPDT-relays that run 12volt-dc McMaster-Carr gearmotors back and forth to their limit-switches.. and the Prop-Controller simply triggers 4 channels on top of the remote-board ..I figured I'd connect the Prop-Controller to channel-8 on the romote-system ..bUT once you trigger the PicoBoo it doesn't stop running till the loop runs out so maYbe I shouldn't make it so easy to start. created by Chris Hillman at.. http

My Super Awesome LED Flashlight

It's my homemade LED flashlight. If any of you want to know how to make your own, comment and maybe I'll put up a guide one day. It uses 2 AA batteries, and it should last for about 24 if left on the whole time. So it's got a pretty great battery life. The mod is pretty simple: You take battery terminals and wire them to a DPDT switch. Then you wire all the Negative LED legs together and positive LED legs together. (Negative is short) Once the LEDs are wired, simply wire them to the switch, with negative and positive being on the same sides and the battery terminals.

Wah Mods (Part 1): True Bypass

ATTENTION, PLEASE READ!! If attempting this mod, then please go to the link at the end of this paragraph after completing what I've shown you in this video. media.stinkfoot.se Upon completing the instructions in this video, the final step in order to complete the true bypass mod is to switch the black 'clean input wire' with the green 'FX input wire' on the switch. And then finally you have to break the connection between the new black 'clean input wire' and the jack input terminal using a craft knife to scrape away the copper connection on the PCB; which is illustrated in the link above. You will be needing a long bush dpdt switch for this mod as well The GCB-95 pedal, along with a lot of other Jim Dunlop Crybaby wah pedals are not true bypass, and therefore effecting the tone of your instrument when the effect is turned off. This is called tonesucking, and the effect is that you lose some of the treble in your signal and lose a bit of gain as well. This is due to the fact that there is a stock SPDT switch and only allows one input into the unit that then has to run through the circuitry sapping your tone as it goes. www.cuttingsounds.com

Part 1 - Motorized Router Lift Wiring - Introduction and Overview

If you are thinking of making your own Motorized Router Lift, this video series is for you! John W. Nixon from www.EagleLakeWoodworking.com will take the mystery out of how to wire the Motorized Router Lift. The electronics components are standard and can be purchased at your local electronics supply store. The basic components are - a spring-loaded activation switch, a DPDT toggle switch (wired a reversing switch), and foot pedal, and a converted powered screw driver. Some of the benefits of a motorized router lift: * Changing bits - my Motorized router lift is connected to a Hitachi M12V. Changing bits on this router when it's mounted in a table can be time consuming. With motorized router lift, I can drop the router down in a matter of seconds to easily change bits. The router go right back up to the ready position in seconds. * Stopped Dados - I can start the bit in the middle of the work piece by raising it up with the lift. There's no more tilting the work piece onto a spinning bit to make a stopped dado. * Mortising - with the modified tenon jig equipped with stop blocks, I can setup and cut reproducible mortises in no time at all. This setup is great for making matching mortises for loose tenon joinery. * Incremental Passes - how often to you take too much off in one pass because you just don't feel like changing the bit height in between passes? With the motorized router lift, the pulse of a button on the table changes the bit height so making incremental passes ...
