Screw terminals are a type of electrical connectors which connect a wire to a metal platform. The wire is secured into the terminal to form an electrical ground, which is an electric current. To secure the connection, the wire is usually secured into the terminal with a screw to prevent the connection from getting loose. Please follow the link to read more about screw terminals.

While I was researching how to control a Hexpolar stepper motor, I found this website you guys might be interested in.

http://www.8051projects.net/index.html

Instead of buying multiple 74HC165 chips and connecting a huge tangling mess to the brains and wasting huge amounts I/O pins which I should be using to do something else, I'll need I/O expanders which have more arms than legs, (More Output pins than input pins)

because my project is too awesome to deal with meer mortals, I need giants.

Anyone got any tips on how to do this?

Any idea?

I'm trying to make a servo controller which can control at least 12 servos, and it's timed with a 555 timer IC.

Any idea how I'm able to do that?

I'm only asking for tips, no solid information.

I'm doing this in DIY.

I don't play Gaia, but I just like making my own character!!!

Hence the Ninja pictures I created!

Note - The Hair cut is a "girls" Hair cut, If you want to use it with boys body, select girls body first, select the Haircut and then select boys body, and there, Girls Haircuit with Boys body.

Confusing...

Aren't all DC motors reversible? Why is this gear head motor YG-2732 getting praise for being reversible while this normal 6V DC motor does not get the reversble praise?

I never heard of a store bought DC motor that can only go in one direction.

Which one should I get? Value or Performance?

I'm building a holonomic drive robot platform and jaycar is the only place I can find to find the proper motors.

If there is another place, tell me.

Or should I just use hobby motors?

Can you help me decide?

... "MECHATRONICS FOR THE EVIL GENIUS 25 BUILD-IT-YOURSELF PROJECTS" by Newton C. Braga.

A really good book, it's got schematics, photos, instructions and other cool stuff like "Using A DC Motor as an Input device/Dynamo".

I love this book, and I recommend it to all of you people here!

And in fact, I'd reccomend the entire series!

There's a special offer for a picaxe included with the book as well! (I don't need that offer, I use BS2)

Now how do you use a transistor in place of a switch/button?

So I can use this with my Basic Stamp 2?

I would like to complain about the computer mice we use.

The LED light used to make the Mouse look as if it's sensing stuff (and to make it look good) is always red.

Why can't it be white, blue, green, no LED, purple, cyan, yellow, magenta, colour cycling or my favorite colour PINK!!!

What's so funny? Pink isn't a girls colour! I like pink, so what?

When I'm blushing, my face turns pink or red. So what?

Anyways, why the hell is the mouse light always red?!?!?!?!?!?

And why the hell there isn't any PINK LEDS AVAILABLE?

Okey, here's what I'm thinking about at the moment.

"What do I want to build...?"

Well, peoples if you don't have any imagination then you should leave, for those who do have imagination please stay!!!

Okey, I'm only going to go through the list of items that will be in it.
