Hi Guys. I hope this posting and the links get through to you. Following sent to other forums & networks ...
Hi Guys. I've updated Snoopy's "Blog11" on http://www.gpss.co.uk/rbblog11.htm and this is not just those into Microtransat and Trans-Atlantic Robot Boats - which can benefit from wisdom of pensioners into radio controlled boats - perhaps after radio controlled aircraft and drones ;-) Pensioners often have wisdom on a wide range of subjects, including physical & mental health, A.I., electronics, warfare, welfare, and much more ;-)
Technical Guys: can anyone help on that "servo current limiter" in Blog11 ?
is a 1.75 hour video with the trails of photos shot between Friday 4th until Thursday 10th October 2024. The video starts with Robin's usual amusing introduction, shot on Thursday 10th and recent days, walking down their front drive at 22 Armitage Court in Sunninghill. Robin shows you Snoopy's Robot Boat in the front garden, on 24/7 Static Test, researching improving solar power. Not yet done. The boat should soon be ready for a Bray Lake Test, before a 2024 Atlantic Attempt. Photo trails show how, with the right help, they might get the house, back to what is was several decades ago. This, and earlier videos, have important detail for potential helpers in "property maintenance" ;-) They need plenty of experience and "common sense" ;-) After the photo trails, Robin wraps up with video shot in July 2023: prophetic words of James Lovelock about Global Warming, and Robin's suggestions about the DVLA. He still has not received his driving licence. Most guys would be annoyed, but Robin is often amused by incompetence - so long as it does not result in suffering, pain, or death. It has been very "inconvenient", with more load put on June, coping brilliantly with her health problems. With the right "nudge", June spoke to the same paramedic at Magnolia House and got an X-Ray on 9th October. Results may be available on 11th October. The DVLA letter on Friday 4th appears, but is dealt with more clearly on Robin's PRESS and DVLA pages ;-) Yes, as can be expected, from Robin's career, then hobby interests, there are plenty of examples of people, GPS Tracking, and technology being exploited. e.g. wildlife and people caught on CCTV; Sunninghill Comrades Club; Pub Lunches ;-) The automatic subtitles/captions were soon available, with translation into any language. Well Done Youtube Guys, whoever and wherever you are ! ;-) Footnote: Youtube used to give a choice of three images, for the "title picture" - and now just one. Often a good choice. You can do it yourself - and not an image bigger than 2 MB ! Not difficult with old Paint. Google and Youtube things change - fewer people to employ and pay ? Bring back people, simply aided by A.I. !
That's the Youtube description above. Topics overlap, and I've known for years that my best advice on anything, including technical things and health, is often from my overlapping networks of friends, both local and far away overseas. My thoughts are with you, in these difficult times.
Closer to home, thanks to my small circle of Grumpy Old Men, providing good health advice to wife June - key member Snoopy's Team-Joker, from when the late John Sylvester got me started. This morning, I had to ring old friend Gary Carter, of http://www.carmech.co.uk because we needed help to know how to get to the car battery of June's Merc K555GPS seen in the video. June hadn't told me she had an MOT at 1400 today - or we might have been better prepared: all three of the "fast starters" were flat, as was the K555GPS battery, because the car had not been used for days. "Be Prepared" is an old saying taught to school boys ;-) Gary is also the guy who gave me the first of Snoopy's Robot Boats - all on the "Snoopy" page http://www.gpss.co.uk/autop.htm and many linked pages
