[Recent runs: not much]<\/p>\n
Our running and project work has been somewhat disrupted recently.<\/p>\n
On the weather station front, I am letting the BeagleBone do its thing at least until the passage of spring daylight-savings-time change.\u00a0 That will show me if the wview software will handle DST changes.\u00a0 Next after that is to create a common power supply system that will serve both the weather station and the BeagleBone.\u00a0 I will probably use a 12 VDC gel cell battery to start with, then look more at solar recharge.<\/p>\n
On the GPSDO\/Cesium oscillator front, I am still gathering readings\u00a0 to compare the two.\u00a0 I have not graphed the total data for about two weeks.\u00a0 I should do that.\u00a0 I put the Cesium standard up on ebay and the auction ends on Saturday.\u00a0 I hope to make oodles of cash but will be happy if I can get enough to pay a couple of recent bills and to maybe buy an Elecraft K2 ham radio.<\/p>\n
I received a couple of new projects:<\/p>\n
1) A large Pelco flatscreen TV which has a bad power supply.\u00a0 I think the issue is the electrolytic capacitors, some of them are bulged.\u00a0 I need to get the PS board out of the TV and take stock of what capacitors I need to order.<\/p>\n
2) I bought circuit boards and parts for a KA7EXM PIC Power Meter.\u00a0 The boards came from the KA7EXM website.\u00a0 The parts came from DigiKey.\u00a0 I have the PIC board put together and I have been working on the box and buttons.\u00a0 Then I will put the RF sensor board together.\u00a0 I have an issue with interconnects.\u00a0 That is always a problem for me.\u00a0\u00a0 I think I can scrounge enough parts from my junkbox to make it work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
