    question.

    Use heatshrink to insulate your solder splices. Just ship it on before soldering, do your work, then slide it down over the splice and shrink it up.

    Used both Solidworks and Inventor. I prefer inventor, but that could be due to an extensive background in AutoCAD

    Shrinking heat-shrink....

    Gives added security. Plus, when shrinking the ends of sleeving, it wont slide off and it will hold onto the wiring.

    Shrinking heat-shrink....

    Heat gun is the best way. Also, spend the extra few cents and get the epoxy filled heatshrink.

    Building a 12vdc portable power pack.

    I'd stay away from the leadacid type. They are bulky, slow to charge, and prone to leakage. Go with a NiMH pack, or as a second choice NiCd.

    Building a 12vdc portable power pack.

    Here is what I do. I buy batteries from this guy all the time: All-Batteries Outlet Now with these I build my own battery packs. They are rechargable which is great. If you don't wan to build your own packs, they also sell pre-assembled packs. Preassembled 12V pack I also picked...

    Will this work?

    No need to bring in a second 12V line. Just connect the switch around the resistor. Current will take the path of least resistance and the resistor will be ignored when the switch is on. When the switch is off and the path is broken, current will move through the resistor.

    Faking Harddrive activity?

    Microcontrollers I got. That is kind of what I was thinking. The project I am working on already has two basic stamps in use. I also have a drawer full of 16F84's which could be used. Was thinking a simple clock circuit could be used if I could find the respective pins to use...

    Faking Harddrive activity?

    Move the heads. I'd like to do it without having to hook it up to my mobo. I thought about cycling power on and off, but I think the life of the drive would be severely shortened.

    Faking Harddrive activity?

    I have an old drive that I am in the process of modding windows into the top and sides. The drive is dead and is only going to be used for visual effects. My question is has anyone seen or done a small electronic circuit to fake harddrive activity? I could do it in VB, but I don't want to be...

    USB Cables?

    You're talking only like 6 to 12 inches right? Just whack the cable apart a few inches behind the mobo plug, splice/solder/hs a few chunks of wire in and you are ready to rock and roll.

    fixing earphones?

    Typically headphones go bad where the cable enters the ear piece or where it exits the jack. Should be simple enough to pull the ear piece housing apart and check the connections.
