I use this one. Defiantly not the cheapest. https://shop.hak5.org/collections/sdr/products/hackrf Of course I am not your average HAM using it as a glorified scanner. I part of my grad school education was learning to be a bad guy. I have done all kinds of fun things with it. It was...

I'm with the crowd. If you didn't have a conduit I would use Ubiquiti and not think twice about it. I have installed links several times and use their access points in my house. Since you have a conduit, I would run a hard wire. It is cheap, easy, and gives you room to grow.

Great Job. The color scheme is not exactly my style, but you have turned the garage into an incredibly pleasant place to work. It is so much more nicer to work in a bright, clean, well organized space.

I actually love SDR. Lots of nefarious things you can do to amuse yourself :) I hate HF with a passion. Occupational hazard, I have spent to much of my life listening to static to hope to hear something. As an amateur I never took the code test to get HF access. That being said the radio...

I'm with Garfunkle though I would go a step further. Find a pipe it an it to match OD of steering arm, us a press and some heat to arm straight, sleeve the entire thing, use some weld at the end and maybe a few plug welds. Stronger then ever. Of course it was made by welding a pipe to the...

One a good cleaver cost a lot of money. A good cleaver is also not required. Our kits looks something like this. http://www.fiberopticshare.com/fiber-optic-splicing-basis.html This is actually a mechanical splice, very similar to what we use. The ones we use are very similar bit it has a...

You don't even need a pro to terminate fiber. Terminating and splicing fiber used to be a very high paying job. I think it still is if you are doing the undersea type cables. However, for normal building/patch fibers they make a little $15 kit with a jig to cut the fiber square and polish it...

And boring and lacking finesse. Go big or go home.

I have seen greenshot mentioned several times. I always kind of dismissed it. <ALT><PRTSCN> has always worked well for me. I looked into it and it does have some really nice features. I think it can definitely improve my workflow. Thanks

I have been meaning to come back to this thread for a while. So you have a micro controller in your stop light, what else can you do? You might not need or want to run the stoplight 24/7. The solution add a clock. To make this work, you need one additional part, a Real Time Clock Module. It...

Looks good from here. Are you happy with it? If not what are you not satisfied with? If you were going Don Long quality I would have used some quality body filler to smooth out some of the rust divots on the top and to straighten out the side. You could sand and polish to take care of the...

I rarely agree with sberry but I'm thinking 16-18. I generally have more 4130 the mild steel laying around. In 4130 I would do .035 and not think twice about it. Definitely .023 for light steel. Also preferably gas instead of flux. Small welds.

Still the same recommendation. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMDO9AE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 Has pipe jaws. The six or eight inch will take a three inch cylinder easily. Jaws are replaceable if you want a nice set of copper soft jaws to be able to torque on a shaft without damaging it.

Don’t order the sequencer from eBay. Make your own. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=430895

Just the size difference between say an axe and a kitchen knife mean it would be hard to find a single appropriate tool.

Probably true, but at the same time this is GJ. We will preach the benefit of tool truck brand hand tools until the end of time. Though I will say I’m a fan of Fluke. I’ve had mine for 23 years now. It has done everything from HV electric vehicles to testing the switch on the table lamp...

Lots of CNC discussions recently on the forum. Seems appropriate to update this list for CNC topics. Motion Control Small Machines: GRBL Large Machines: LinuxCNC There is a fork of LinuxCNC if you want to use a micro computer (Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Tinker, etc) : MachineKit If you use...

I know several people who have one. They are a super need idea and science project, but I don't know anyone who is happy with them. As a toy or an introduction to motion control, I think they are great. They have several problems. First, there is no z control. Everything has to be a...

I depends on what you want to do. My Chinese CNC router/laser is just about $200. The work envelop is tiny, but within its limits it works great. You can scale that up to a decent size for $400. You are definitely not going to go 4x8 at that price. On a $350 budget, I would stick with 2x2...
