So I've been doing some more thinking, how to utilize the board for the USB adapter. Take the 5v from the USB output to control a coil on a 5v relay and switch the input to the 18v of the pod. There is also another version DCB091 (which is used with the jackets) and also has a 12v output to...

OK some pics to keep you guys happy ... Parts that you need: To disassemble the adapter, you need remove the screw from the back and pop off the clip under the label: Disassembled parts: Strip down to basic parts: Feed wire through one of the LED holes (after removing label or punch...

I buy mine from Hardware Sales (Bellingham WA). But the web price isn't the same as the store price. ($25.99 vs $9.99) http://www.hardwaresales.com/dewalt-dcb090-12v-20v-max-usb-power-source-for-charging-2-usb-compatible-devices.html

My version 2? - No electrical enhancement, but easy to build design. I found one of my local hardware stores has been selling the DCB090 12V/20V MAX* USB Power Source for $10 Basically the battery slips onto the bottom, and you get USB power ports on the back. I've dismantled it for the...

Thanks for the info guys!

I got these as part of a train set but I don't know if these were for the trains or not. Trying to figure out what they are used for. <a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/51MXmpTYUrXtN35tmitVGzQaKok6NVbGRPCIEOvgI9M?feat=embedwebsite"><img...

Ok you asked for it, you got it! I just so happen to have one of those meters in blue :thumbup: Dunno if I will keep it there, as I'll probably forget it one day and will drain the battery. I think need to make it motion or shock activated or something. Battery voltage 20.3, no load Battery...

So I took some 1" PVC tubling, slit it down the middle, heated and formed into a sheet. (I suppose if you have some sheet material already they might work too). I then made the cuts then heated again just the flaps of the sled (to hold the sides of the battery) once soft, slapped a 2" metal rule...

Just to clarify, there are no such things as 20V batteries and 20V tools from Dewalt. Dewalt marketing has you thinking that these are 20V tools and batteries but in fact they are 18V (but marketed as 20V Max). Why, because 20V sounds more powerful. Some technical background. In the old 18V...

I have a crapload of 18V Dewalt tools, and can't get over the fact that anything newer I would have to go with the 20V line. There is the 18V Nano lithium that I could get, but they seem to be lots of $$$ compared to the new 20V max line of batteries. But figured that if I can get some...

I think this will work for you? http://www.aartech.ca/ps1520-dsc-12v-1.5a-power-supply.html http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALTRONIX-POWER-SUPPLY-CHARGER-6-12-24-VDC-4AMP-SMP5-/181290993782?pt=BI_Security_Fire_Protection&hash=item2a35c90876 These just need an external transformer (16VAC) on the input...

I used a spacer on the bottom roller shaft between the mounting plate and roller bearing/wheel. More specifically a piece of pex pipe cut lengthwise so i could slip it on to the roller shaft without removing the roller.

Do you local stores have something like ecobust?

You would be looking for automation controller and modules. There are a lot of options out there, for controllers, there is Vera/Micasverde, Homeseer, Schlage Nexia, Smarthome, and more. For modules, there is Z-Wave, X-10, Insteon. Places like www.smarthome.com (and many more) specialize in...

My guess would be the capacitor(s) needs replacement. You may have a cap for starting and running.
