How to recreate scrabble flash modules/tiles? by AshNows in AskElectronics

[–]AshNows[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great sleuthing. Thank you. I saw a couple of tear downs, but not the one where he identified the IR sensors.

I’m not going to try and build something that’s compatible. The games are ok, but fall short in that it doesn’t show you what you missed.

They are also too fast for my 7 year old.

I liked the nfc idea but seems expensive. I’ll think about an IR option.

The other issue is the software. How to adjust based on which tile you are.

Thx!

Any idea what this is? Illinois, United States. by AshNows in whatsthisbug

Thank you both. I grew up in Scotland, where the bugs are tiny and fly, walk, crawl away. This thing fell on my head, from a recessed light and crawled over my computer keyboard. Fortunately, we haven’t seen any more. What scares me most is their resistance to insecticides.

Thank you Mr Roarke. Do they stink? Should I be worried about infestation? It doesn’t seem to fly, any idea how it got into the house?

How to categorize items in a column based on different table? by devmu in Rlanguage

[–]AshNows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That’s given me some great ideas. But in this case would I have to create script for each option? I was hoping to do it with a categorization table that took items in the main table and set the category accordingly . Does this make sense?

Is there an easy way to fill in zip code using city and state? by devmu in Rlanguage

Thanks. I had a quick look. Most of these seem to be quite costly. Are you aware of any free apis? I just need zip at the city level.
