    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I had a similar idea for collecting the vapor. the only way I could see doing it is if you cut slats in the tube so it could go over the kanthal. Thanks for the help scuba. That was an oversight. I was so glad to shave .125" of the total length I forgot about the engagement of the terminal. I...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    Ok I changed it. With the way my outer tube is set up I have plenty of extra tube past the top cap. The terminals should be about .014" from the mesh allowing for about .008" of clearance between the kanthal and the terminal. I took out the bottom O ring and saved .125" on the design. It is...

    I could also use the silicone to insulate, and when it dries and is properly insulated I can JB weld over it for structural support. It is wide enough to allow a small space around the hole thing.

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I will probably go for the silicone first and if it doesn't hold well enough I will epoxy it in. I think all I would have to do is push it all the way to the bottom and then pull it up just a little. I know JB weld will hold it because that stuff is STRONG. I was planning on having the insulated...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I plan on just making a hole and filling it 3/4 of the way up with silicone then pushing the set screw in and hoping it stands. If not I'll have to make a cast, which shouldn't be too big a deal if I have a lathe to work with. I have a friend with an old lathe but he doesn't think it will handle...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I am going to use 100% silicone. The food safe stuff they put around electric range tops. Unless someone else has a better suggestion? I don't know if there is epoxy that is food safe after it sets but that would be a good choice too. I am trying to keep the holes through the plug to a minimum...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I already have all the components. I am using 316 stainless steel set screws for posts and 304 stainless nuts. All of it fits if I could just get it machined. It will be a tight fit but should be worth it for the size. I am now making my other drawings. The nice part about having the center...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I will change the drawing to allow the cap to be more supported. The drawing as it sits is just under two inches, with the extra 1/16th in between the cap and the container it will be a little over two inches. With out the drip tip that is. Oh and for provari owners, the tube is the same size as...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I was thinking about going 1/32 larger in diameter. I would like to go as small as possible to allow for more liquid storage. We will see how it goes if I try to make one and it breaks I will increase the dia. I already have one drawn if I need to change that. Hopefully the stainless will stand...

    Some homemade attys and genesis

    I haven't gotten any response from my posting in my thread so i thought I would post this here. What do you think. I am giving up on going through my friend. I am looking for another shop in the area. I checked google and there are plenty. Sent out emails to a couple local shops earlier...

    Starting a genesis build

    Anyone have some input? I'd appreciate it. I am not a machinist so I don't know what is re-produceable. Thanks

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    That is what I was planning on. I'm guessing in fifteen minutes someone with a little german knowledge could put that in english. I need to figure out what the commands are for the processor or software... I don't really know how that works yet but I am going to do research. Then I can probably...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    Well I guess I will have to learn to write code. Anyone want to point me in the right direction? I am planning on using the same circuit diagram but replacing the FSR with a pot, and the touch switch with a tactile switch. also I understand that I need a interface but how do I plug the chip into...

    Starting a genesis build

    My current model which I hope to have produced. We will see what happens with that. The ones that are dimensioned are only in clear for the sake of dimensioning. I have all the pieces I just need to figure out when/where I'm going to get it made. I am using 304 SS for the center post. The only...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    right the code for his circuit diagram wont work on someone else's circuit diagram. I am trying to do this without doing a whole mess of work and I'm guessing for me to learn to write code for a microprocesor is going to be a lot.

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    Hey that is one I saw on the german forum. Do you know what code he used? I was looking through the thread about BASCOM, that is where I found the revised versions of the code for the ATTiny25. Is the code I posted earlier the code you have been using in your mod? Or did ichbines set the whole...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    This is my first experience with programming a circuit. Also the less money I spend on this the better, but if I have to buy something to get it running I will do it. How hard is writting code for something like this? EDIT: The BASCOM application says it has a integrated stk200 and stk300...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    Yeah raidy said to use the trial version of BASCOM not that I know what that is. I found a web page hosted by mcs electronics for BASCOM AVR. I believe this is what I am looking for to program it right? BASCOM-AVR - MCS Electronics To change the FSR to a potentiometer would be pretty much just...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    Resistors, capacitors, and pcbs I can find locally. I was having trouble finding the IRL3102 until I came across a company who has the lead free ones in stock, that also has a branch within 30 miles of my house. I don't know what silver plated wire switching is, any clues? I think this is the...

    AVR ATTiny25 microprocessor control mod

    This is info written by raidy and translated by google. He is allowing me to do this but he wants it to remain private use only. This is the circuit design for the attiny. Here is the program for an E pipe he made called pipe dream(that could be dream pipe because of the translation). It...
