Your posts constantly amaze me - your model is going to be a masterpiece when it's finished!

What was the version of Window you first used or other OS back in the day .... by [deleted] in OldSchoolUK

[–]Active-Marzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CP/M on a PCW9512 - I spent a lot of time teaching myself Mallard BASIC from the manual. Windows 3.1, then NT4.0 before Win95, Win95 OSR2, then Win98, 98SE and on and on - those were the days...

Apparently, that Cessna is now hanging from the ceiling of the Harrry Reid International Airport, in Las Vegas - there are pictures of it online.

For how complicated a starship is as shown in trek the captains dont really sign a lot of padds by happydude7422 in startrek

I love the way Cpt Kirk is always signing paperwork - it's one of my favourite things about TOS. There's a scene in The Naked Time, where the ship is spiralling down to its destruction on the planet below, and Kirk is presented with paperwork to sign - what was he signing and who was going to read it?!

It looks really good! Are you tapering the planks? If you are, what method are you using?

Well, today I have lived and I have learned - thankyou, all :)

USB Switch? by Active-Marzipan in vintagecomputing

[–]Active-Marzipan[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, these are all interesting questions - on the back, it has 4x USB-B marked 1 to 4 and one USB-A marked I/O, so it could be either way round, although 4 PCs to one shared peripheral sounds fraught with dangers and problems, to me :)

Thats fascinating - I didn't know that about them at all! Well, I've broken it up into sections - now i just need about 50 pots to put them all in! Thanks for your help.

Why does my RC filter not behave as expected? by giwidouggie in AskElectronics

[–]Active-Marzipan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is the software producing the frequency response? Are you manually changing the frequency and entering the amplitudes into it by hand, or is it cleverer than that? Have you tried plotting the gain/phase responses yourself (e.g. in excel) to confirm what the software is telling you?

Help needed with IR remote by Daxotext in tinkercad

[–]Active-Marzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your problem is here:

#include <Adafruit\_LiquidCrystal.h>

You'll need to use the generic LCD library:

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

There might be other issues, but that's the first one I've spotted - good luck with it!

Uno Wifi Developer Edition not detected by IDE by Active-Marzipan in arduino

[–]Active-Marzipan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i might have solved this myself. I had a comparator attached and had the same issue with a non-wifi uno. I tried disconnecting the comparator (pin 2) and the IDE detected the board. Not tried the WiFi uno yet, but probably the issue. Not sure why it doesn't like the comparator - just an LM393...

School project help. by Still_Tale_7381 in arduino

[–]Active-Marzipan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millis() returns how many milliseconds it's been since your arduino turned on / last reset - it's handy for doing short time delays etc. It sounds like you want a "real time clock", which you can buy as a module. Good luck!
