Lgbeno 189 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 parts for a little project of mine to create a break out board for SiLabs Si7020 temperature and humidity sensor. I put some up for sale on Tindie: https://www.tindie.com/products/ImpGuru/si7020-temperature-and-humidity-breakout/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Well, it's not a case of what came in the mail today, but what didn't. TI were great as usual and were happy to send me some FR5969 samples (to replace the deprecated chip on my version 1.6 launchpad and see if I can solder QFN). However, Fedex have decided to be a pain. I just got a voicemail to say that they need to see my import licence or they'll send them back. WTF? It got them shipped to my work address as I've done with many things, but my work is nothing to do with electronics. I doubt they have an import licence and I wouldn't want to try to use it anyway. [update: I explained to Fedex that it was for personal use. No reply, but the samples came through.] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Just received a few MC33814 from Freescale- nice little thing for the EFI project I've been toying with. Supports O2 sensor heater and two injectors / ignition, and a few other outputs and VR sensor input for crankshaft position determination. 5v logic, but that's what translators like the TXB and such are for, right? Also, a few Freescale MM812JS812 chips- MCU + drivers for a single cylinder engine. May do two of these to run my V2 engine. Not sure if I'll use them- programming may be an issue, but who knows? Need to build the programming interface for these. Still expecting a few FS Kenetis EA chips; should be here tomorrow or the day after. There is something 'odd' about an ARM M0+ chip running at 5v that begs interest. In other news, it was dead, for a moment, but there's renewed interest in the EFI project I posted about a while back, using MPC5634M. I think I might need to get a few more LFQP adapters... or at least finish the ESI project first. Yeah. Who needs a motorcycle, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travis 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 BnSYxNTsmall.jpg Yesterday my NFC implant turned up. Still looking for someone to implant it for me. It's tricky to do yourself as you need two hands (and it goes in your hand). My wife's a doctor but refuses to do it as "it's weird, geeky and creepy". Looking at it reminds me of something i once read in the Bible. maybe you should give it away? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 On my opinion, it's far more sensible to throw the bible away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travis 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 On my opinion, it's far more sensible to throw the bible away. Every body has an opinion, and that is ok. The big question is how did someone about two thousand years ago know there would be a device or a mark for the hand?... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Let's not get into a discussion about religion. I'll get frustrated. You'll get offended. Everyone else will be bored. We believe different things. Let's just leave it at that. greeeg, abecedarian, tripwire and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
travis 0 Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Please do not misunderstand me Fred, I was not referring to religion. I was simply making a comment about a historical writing concerning a future event. Most people view the Bible as a religious book, and rightly so! However most miss the point that it can also be viewed as a Historical book. It was not my intention to get into any debate about the issue so i will agree to your last line and just leave it at that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ILAMtitan 86 Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 My apartment complex sent me a message that I had a new package delivery! Thanks USPS!! Luckily everything inside was intact. 30 RocketBadges from @@cubeberg! I'll be using these to teach some high school kids where I volunteer as a robotics mentor how to solder. Hopefully I'll be back later with photos from the lessons. PTB and bluehash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
