    xxx1 reacted to RobG in Kester 979 flux   
    I will have gallon of Kester 979 flux, but that is way too much for me and I want to sell most of it at cost.
    979 is a replacement for 971, and is an awesome flux. It's VOC free, huge plus if you do your SMT work at home. 
     
    16oz(1 pint) is $5 plus shipping (US only,) which should be around $5 as well.
    I may also do 8oz, which should be ~$6 shipped (US only.)

    I have always paid duty, taxes and brokerage fees on FedEx International Economy shipments.
     
    If you ship FedEx International Priority then those fees are rolled up into the upfront shipping price.
     
    There's no way around it. Time = money.

    I wonder what the Customs fee would be though. Some info says Fedex Int Economy has no brokerage fee.

    xxx1 reacted to spirilis in [Energia Library] RF430CL - TI NFC RF430CL330H library   
    I have a library I've been working on for the past month or so to give Energia and Arduino users intuitive access to the TI RF430CL330H series of NFC transponders.
     
    https://github.com/spirilis/RF430CL
     
    This library is composed of two logical sections:
     
    1. The RF430 class which defines and manages a physical RF430CL330H NFC transponder over I2C using the "Wire" library
    2. The NDEF class system which allows users to conceptually define and manage NFC NDEF data records, importing & exporting them
     
    The NDEF class and subclasses (so far NDEF_URI, NDEF_TXT being the only RTD-specific subclasses implemented) maintain buffers for storing the NDEF "Type" field (a character string), "ID" field (optional, character string) and the actual payload.  The class is designed to be flexible so the user has to provide the buffer space (and maximum buffer size) for storing the Type, ID and Payload information, but some of the subclasses (and soon the base class) support defining those buffers as immutable data types (e.g. const uint8_t [] or const char [] arrays) for export usage only.
     
    For importing & exporting, the NDEF class and all subclasses have two methods:
     
    .sendTo(Stream &, boolean Message_Begin=true, boolean Message_End=true)
    .import(Stream &)
     
    sendTo writes byte-for-byte the physical NDEF record associated with that object's current state, returning an integer equal to the exact length (in bytes) of the NDEF binary record.  The two boolean arguments allow the user to customize the setting of the MB and ME bits in the NDEF header byte to support having multiple NDEF records in a single NFC memory segment.  If those boolean arguments are omitted, they default to "true" so the NDEF record will be written with both MB and ME bits set (typical usage for an NFC transponder housing only a single NDEF record).
     
    import uses the read() and readBytes() feature of the Stream object supplied to read, byte for byte, and analyze (rejecting by returning -1 if read errors or for RTD-specific sub-classes, if the header or structure of the record does not match the appropriate NDEF RTD type) and import the data.  Buffers must be defined for the NDEF object using .setPayloadBuffer(<buf>, <maxlen>) and for the base (generic) NDEF class, .setTypeBuffer() and optionally .setIDBuffer() so the import function has a place to store the TYPE and (optionally, if present, i.e. the "ID" bit is set in the NDEF header byte) ID strings.
     
    The RF430 class (which references the hardware) has an internal counter and I/O system which implements Arduino's "Stream" interface, so it's a valid target for the NDEF sendTo & import functions.  There are functions for changing/resetting the internal "pointer" as well as informing the RF430 library how much NDEF data is there (this must be set, or else any NFC master going to read or write to the transponder will error).
     
    Several examples are provided illustrating the use of the RF430 and NDEF classes and typical application program flow.  IRQ support is there, with the ability to detect whether an NFC master (e.g. cellphone) has read from the RF430CL330H recently, or has written a new record or series of records to the RF430CL330H's SRAM.
     
    There is still more work to be done to enable simpler and better-managed generic NFC importers, and I would like to make an NDEF subclass that eases the use of custom/externally-defined RTD types.
     
    As of now, this does not support the TRF7970A in any way.  In theory, I could support it in the future with the NDEF class infrastructure provided here.  The RF430CL330H is a whole lot simpler/easier to understand IMO.  I have been testing this with the F5529LP and DLP-RF430BP boosterpack.
     
    Here's a zip of the current codebase (from git as of 2/26/2015) - RF430CL_02262015.zip
     
    And here's one of the examples, illustrating how to write "Hello World" to the RF430CL330H and use Energia's Low-Power-Mode support (suspend() aka LPM4) to put the host MCU in deep sleep, waking up only when the RF430 sees an NFC master read or write to it:
