Various Meters
Again, at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I got a grab-bag of meters. I’m sure I could find Something to do with them, whether it’s a computer case mod, or an ethernet-controlled display, or whatever…

While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up a bunch of breadboards and unetched PCBs from a goodie-bag dealer (one with little bags of misc parts for a set price).
The blue breadboard is already reserved for a project that I’ll be posting about in the future.
While at the Smiths Falls Amateur Radio Club Flea Market, I picked up three of these LED bargraph guys. I haven’t tested yet to see what color they are, but that will come in time.
3/$2 isn’t bad, if I can say so myself.
Woo! I got my contest kit for the Microchip 16-bit Embedded Design Contest.

Ok, I got this set of 3 USB SD Card adapters from eBay seller flash-mart.
The picture shows the innards of one, and a full one. They come in multiple colors. They’re nice because you can insert an SD card and put the cover back on. I’m thinking in particular about USB hard drives for the MSNTV2s with these.
Well, I got this one (a pack of 5) from eBay seller igozz.
See, this one’s simple. You plug a laptop hard drive on one end, and an IDE cable and Molex power adapter on the other, and you have a working internal hard drive for your PC.
Well, I got the email today letting me know that I won this lovely LCD screen by playing Hacked Gadgets’“Name That Thing” Contest. You should go check out their site, it’s got plenty of related electronics-hacking stuff.
I recently bought two Nokia LCDs from eBay seller talktalkmobiles, and each came with a free Torx-8 screwdriver.
The screens come from Nokia 3310, 3330 and 3390, and have built-in Philips PCD8544 controllers.
It has 8 pins on the back of the LCD.

Here are some samples I got from Freescale Semiconductor.
I
must admit, they have amazing service. I placed an order, it shipped
within 24 hours, and was at my door 2 days later, thanks to the UPS
folks.

(By the way, I love my Sigma Macro Lens, as you can see from the photo )
Ok, so.. Long story short, our Canadian Tire had a $30 Eliminator 1.8W solar panel on sale for $10 this week.
I couldn’t resist picking one up. it came with a Cigarette Lighter adapter, a barrel-plug adapter, and battery clips. I’m sure I could think of a PIC project or three I could run off of Solar Power. Right now, It’s hanging in my windows by suction cup to charge a couple of 7Ah 12V Sealed Lead Acid batteries.
