Ahhh.....the good old days when you could just walk into a Radio Shack and get all the parts that you needed.
Where's j0ker?????

Take out the MoodCube part and I'm in about the same boat. Working at about 20-25% capacity here.
's why I'm going full-bore with the 'Cube. Hoping they sell well enough to earn me some pocket money.
I'm drawing up the schematic right now.
I ordered parts today. lots and lots of parts.
I can't wait til you get them ready to sell....put my name on the waiting list ok
No kidding! It's a CRIME how far RS has fallen!
Certainly no place for the pro/am or hobbyist!

You got it!
I'm expecting to offer 5 models.
I'll have to do a quicky video when I get them put together!

That sounds like an excellent plan!

I want one too!
I just remembered something I forgot to attend to. BBI10
Deej, some years ago I built an SSTV (slow scan television) receiver/transmitter box, from plans I had received from a fellow ham. I just walked into the local Radio Shack and got everything that I needed, including the IC chip.
You got it!
I'm expecting to offer 5 models.
I can't wait....to cool!!!
Martha's last post in Snails was #98940
She had 2 other posts, elsewhere, later yesterday morning. Since then, nothing.
Maybe she will be on tomorrow.
Never got around to slow-scan! I can't recall all the fun stuff I slapped together... weekends in the Shack were great!
Haven't played with electronics in ages! Amazes me how fast it's coming back to me!
Drawing the schematics... laying out the circuit board... ordered PCB fabrication equipment, too!
Wheeeee!!!!
Gonna make your own circuit boards too ?? I did it the old fashioned way, used a breadboard and ran wires underneath it.
heh... Jerry... remember when Popular Electronics was better than pron?
Nope !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, gotta do circuit boards. I don't have a lot of space... gotta leave it fairly open so the light can fill out the panels.
I breadboard the circuit first, though, to make sure my schematic's good. The schematic program links to a PCB layout program to guide you in making all the right connections. Better than a video game!
the first 5 or 6 will be great fun!
then it'll become a job!
At least there's the customization aspect to break the tedium. You gotta choose 3 of 6 colors... Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green and Violet.
(sorry... nobody makes Indigo LEDs... yet)
That makes sense, Deej. Building the prototype on a breadboard, makes it easier to make changes, as opposed to the circuit board.
Who said we were dorks and nerds ???? LOL

Is it going to run on a pair of 1.5 volt batteries, connected in series ???
I love breadboarding first. Get to play with the schematic... try different configurations... impress the neighbors...
