Certainly. I can't convince the others at work that they are really DE-9s. I
have one that'll run in production next week that's a circuit board that sits
in the back shell of a DE-9 connector. Everyone calls it a DB-9 dongle. Oh,
well, in all the documentation it's called a DE-9. Let 'em be confused. ;-)


Tell them that DB means 'Dumb Bunnies', and there must be nine of
them in production. ;-)

It's not production. :-(

You have my sympathy then.

Hi guys,
I need some help enlarging this picture of a circuit board to ID the
resistor running horizontal,
just to the left of the indexing hole of the big IC. (labeled
R2)http://www.easyapplianceparts.com/PartInfo.aspx?inventory=1957099
I have tried using MS Paint to enlarge but pixilation makes it unreadable.
I'm hoping some has a magic program or even a large monitor that they can
use to read the colors.
I need the color code to replace the burned resistor.

Thank you, Mikek

The back story;
My wife smelled something in the dryer room last Saturday, we traced it
to the dryer.
It was a burning electronic odor, I located the PCB and found two oozing
capacitors, four bad
diodes two bad 8.2 volt zeners plus the unknown resistor. I have replaced
all but the resistor.
If I get the value I'll replace the resistor and hope the 68HC705
microcontroller is still good.
If replacing the resistor does not fix it, then it's about $70 for the PCB
or an new dryer.
Or maybe I can make it work and not have a dryness control setting, I
don't
use it anyway.

In Photoshop, averaging the pixel data after maxing the Chroma channel
yields the following results:

ffff63 (hex) = Yellow
bd35c1 (hex) = Violet
e02d55 (hex) = Red

So, 4.7 kOhm

BTW - Did you know that the CTRL+ and CTRL- keys will zoom you in or
out (respectively) if using Microsoft Explorer.
Ver-8 does anyway, but I think most versions have this feature.

Good luck with the dryer!

Just in case you and others missed it, Sphero found a great picture of the
PCB.
http://www.partsdr.com/Parts/Electronic-Control-Board-338.cfm
just one click on the picture and it expands to show great detail of the
resistor in question.
Thanks, Mikek


That is more like it..no apparent white "band" where one does not belong.

Ah, one of those 2W 4k7 resistors that people tend to plonk in without
enough copper underneath to take the heat away, also not raised from
the PCB.

The way I heard that was that with the one hand in the equipment

your back, that sometimes people will ground their thumb or more likely
little (pinkie) finger, so that when they _do_ get zapped, it only burns
their hand and doesn't go through their heart and cause fibrillation or
cardiac arrest.

Would it help wearing think leather gloves?

Personally, I wouldn't depend on them, but I don't know what industry

guidelines are. Leather is only animal skin, after all.

Storm Warnings: Extreme Weather Is a Product of Climate Change

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=extreme-weather-caus...

"More violent and frequent storms, once merely a prediction of climate
models, are now a matter of observation.

"So are the floods and spate of other recent extreme events also
examples of predictions turned into cold, hard reality?

"Increasingly, the answer is yes. Scientists used to say, cautiously,
that extreme weather events were "consistent" with the predictions of
climate change. No more. "Now we can make the statement that particular
events would not have happened the same way without global warming,"
says Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo".

See:http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=extreme-weather-caus...

Supposedly, if it weren't for the earth's deserts the [natural]
greenhouse effect would cause constant hurricane force winds all over
the planet. It has something to do with the increase in entropy
mixing dry air with humid air to bleed off the mechanical energy of
wind. So the reverse could also be stated "if it weren't for the
oceans and wet regions there would be constant hurricane force winds
all over the planet."

Here we have every materials engineer on the planet engaged in a
struggle against 2nd law / Carnot limitations, i.e., tweaking super
alloys and high purity Si solar cells to get mechanical or electrical
energy, and then these alarmists come along saying we need to _sink_
mechanical energy or get blown away in a Cat 5 hurricane.

Since mechanical energy is all you need from burning fossil fuels
there may be other cheaper ways to "match" the human need for
mechanical energy with the human / biosphere need to convert
mechanical energy than wind mills.

To be sure the mechanical energy isn't readily accessible but it
wouldn't take a large percentage of it to get 15 billion off of
carbon.

One question may be what is the cheapest big thing that can be rigged/
improvised that can move or put out a current?

Hahahhahah, are ewe hoping that explains the coldest June on record in

Can you cite the source that says that this was a global event?

If it was localised then it has nothing to do with global climate
change.

Stupid lying leftist cunt, ewe lefturdian retards have been using
localised events (localized cyclones, localized hurricans, localized
droughts, localized floods) as your evidence of man making the globe
hot since the hoax began, but when localized events are used to show
the shit ewe are talking ewe dont like it and dont want to use them.

I have never claimed that, and anyone who says it's conclusive evidence
is wrong. It *is* evidence though, because it lasted 13 years (note
the difference between "evidence" and "conclusive evidence").

BTW: If you look carefully you will notice that 13 years is much longer
than the single month (June) that you offered as evidence that AGW
wasn't happening. If Australia goes back to normal weather patterns
over the next decade then I'm wrong of course, we will see.

the
climate was changing, because man isn't paying enough tax?

It's not lack of tax that is causing climate change, it's CO2

Apart from anything else the price of fossil fuel is going to go through
the roof in the next few years (it's already starting) so moving to
non-fossil fuels and renewable energy supplies makes sense even if you
refuse to accept the scientific evidence for AGW.
