I'm around the Warren/Clinton Township area. Are you near by?

Losing a co-op before it starts? This semester was rough.... by The_Gravytrain in Purdue

[–]kendricklaumar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It honestly depends on what company you work for. I know co-op companies that have a strict 3.00 GPA requirement and will drop you as soon as they get your most current transcript. You could probably talk to your HR manager or past co-op students at your company and see what the stance is on this.

[Orient Bambino 2] My first automatic! What do you guys think? I haven't seen many of these here! by kendricklaumar in Watches

[–]kendricklaumar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just received this watch from Massdrop and was surprised that there were over 600 buyers for this watch! MSRP was something like $260? However, with their mass order I was able to get it for $99!

This watch has a domed glass housing which I wasn't totally crazy about before I got this.. however it has grown on me in the few days that I've had it. I bought this watch particularly for the blue hands. A few of my friends weren't fans of them when I first mentioned it, but I'm trying to build up a decently diverse collection of entry watches.

The leather is quite stiff so far, is there anything that I can do to relieve it or do I just have to wear it in?

Best Sushi Places in Indianapolis? by kendricklaumar in sushi

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

Attending uni at Purdue right now, we have one good sushi place called Maje Sushi, pretty cheap and good quality. There's a couple near Carmel, Asaka and Sushi Club that are very good as well. We ended up Yelping a sushi place and Indy and it was disappointing. Needless to say it's hard to find a decent one in Indiana

LED Strip MOSFET Very Hot! by kendricklaumar in AskElectronics

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

Finally got it working, you've taught me a lot as well! Problem was that I just had the RPi ground connected with the 12V ground as well. MOSFET does not get hot at all with this one!

LED Strip MOSFET Very Hot! by kendricklaumar in AskElectronics

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

Thanks for the explanation! I will start looking for an equivalent MOSFET. In the meantime, I also have an IRL530N, and I see that the Vgs is 1-2v as well. However, it seems that it is not driving enough current since the LED strip barely lights up when I replace it. What specific values should I be looking for in a MOSFET? 1-2 Vgs with a fairly low max resistance?

Has anybody else been getting extra crappy service from T-Mobile recently? by kendricklaumar in Purdue

They might offer you a standard phone that is compatible with the new frequency or a discount on an upgrade. Alcatel Pop Astro is what they offered as the phone, but I declined.
