Finally got to grips with Blender and I now know why no one sells bezels for LCD's - every brand is different sized. I've got 3 here from various sources. LCD 1 - (no backlight) 70x27x4mm LCD 2 - Blue backlight 71x24x7mm LCD 3 - RGB backlight 71x25x8.5mm So I designed a very basic bezel for...

I don't know much about them but how about a voltage multiplier? Don't know what sort of current you would get out of one though. I believe they can be used for 'Jacobs Ladder' displays perhaps even Tesla coils???

additional file WAY too expensive from this place. I would imagine a lot cheaper from someone who uses plastic extrusion. ($21.68 for a ceramic one)

These any good http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__11735__HobbyKing_Ultra_Micro_Servo_1_7g_for_3D_Flight_Right_.html

I think the OP has his terminology slightly wrong. This is a cold cathode display (with driver) used for blinging pc cases. http://www.maplin.co.uk/cold-cathode-2-tube-kit-34147

Is there any reason why I can't change the target Picaxe from a 18M2 to something more pcb friendly like a 20M2 or 20X2?

2nd post for 1 picture..... BTW the above (post #22) was without a lens. I've found that a reasonable lens and not toooooo big is all 3 elements of a 3 lens pocket loupe.

Hi Guys, just a brief update on <my> progress as my tape has arrived and I've had a quick play to determine distances etc. first of all this is the circuit I'm using.... I decided to use the high side switch after measuring the current at pin 3 on the Hamamatsu IC as 59mA. Don't want to try...

Thanks to PaulRB and Hippy for the help they didn't know they gave ;) When you can't get your AXE027 working with a more recent install of Linux (openSuse 12.3 64bit in my case) then follow this post in addition to the AXE027 documentation...

I'm new to Linux and trying to get away from Microsoft dominance. I'm unable to get Linaxepad to install on my system running Open Suse 12.3 64 bit. I've extracted the files from the archive to /Home/LinAXEpad, done the bit where you have to change permissions for all the files in the...

Finally went for one of these Best thing I ever bought. Recommend to anyone. Thanks SAborn :)

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__17200__HD_Wing_Camera_1280x720p_30fps_5MP_CMOS.html Motion detect built in. Excellent quality. Cheap as chips. Need picaxe and ultrasonic range detector to trigger I/R spotlights.

As far as I can tell, a 'greencap' is a type designation for a range of plastic film capacitors. Ceramic capacitors are normally used for decoupling but AFAIK it's down to more of a cost thing. Ceramic are far cheaper than polyester (normally). So yes you can use your 'greencap' 0.1uF. Have a...
