just a droplet of OJ that tripped my IR trigger that fired the flash after a short delay (didn't calculate delay, but all that takes is measuring pot resistance and plug into equation)

OJ Flower:

*update* Got it working!!! Time to play! Ok, I'm building a photogate/timer circuit to trigger a flash and I think I may have a faulty phototransistor. If I understand correctly, when my IR beam is broken (object between IR emitter & phototransistor) the voltage across the phototransistor should...

Very sorry to hear that.

A belated thank you.

I should be ordering some electronic gizmos & gadgets this week; they will give me better flash timing... so maybe more high-speed photos to come!

I wrote more on TPF: here.

Sad thing is that congress was the first org to jump into my mind...

Watching my bro play just made me want to reinstall Oblivion. (Looks like the same engine and everything.)

Well then we best not let them know I'm crazy too! :twisted: Rav, get a hunting bow instead... those things are so much fun!!! Once I put an arrow in a 2x4 at 30 yards (tip was 4" out the back) and I broke the carbon arrow trying to get it back out. :-P Maybe I can put together enough $$$ for a...

I told my dad, "With da Dems in power, I bet there's going to be a big rush on the gun stores." Not 30 seconds later, the local news station pops up its top 5 headlines..... "#5, Gun sales soaring". Too bad I'm all out of spendable money, because there's a few rifles I've always ...

waste of time... but this is what I got: http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/4/IMG_0158_WEB.jpg http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/4/IMG_0153_WEB.jpg http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/4/IMG_0175_WEB.jpg http://www.microsmithinc.com/BlackRider/4/IMG_0184_WEB.jpg http://www.microsmithin...

Well, I'm going to be in the area anyway, so I think I'm going to go... and stay until I'm asked to leave. I'm supposed to arrive at the very least 30 minutes before the event starts, so maybe I'll get a proper briefing beforehand. (I never do as well when I don't know my boundaries, so maybe they'l...

...this weekend at THIS . But my credentials only let me in for the first 6 minutes.... at least that's what I heard from my editor... that means I probably won't get to see any of the demonstrations! Editor said I didn't have to go if I didn't think it was worth it... idk... do you think it's worth...

I'm 107 miles from my desktop!

I'll take that to be "no".
