Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Friday, May 30, 2008. I have updated my spreadsheet. To reflect these readings, but there is much more to be done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). San Juan Mountains, June 2001. 1991 Audi 200 Turbo Quattro and the Instrument Clu.

Miller Factor: October 2010
http://millerfactor.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Sunday, October 24, 2010. After tracing the spindle driver electronics, I determined that the controller was not even attempting to spin the DVD for some reason. That reason must exist somewhere earlier in the disk reading algorithm. Now I was starting to fear I would have to replace the whole DBU-3 optical assembly, available for about $99 on ebay. The repair was simply r...

Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Wednesday, June 25, 2008. Today hits a little close to home. Check out the archives. There are some great ones in there. Links to this post. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. And the spinner was detected. I will be connecting the sensor to a microcontroller and sending the resulting data out via a wireless link to my main computer. The plan is to put the data on the web. This is one...

To reflect these readings, but there is much more to be done. Links to this post. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. I did some math last night based off some guesses as to my power consumption. I modeled my power usage in a nice spreadsheet. Is: Power=(3600*7.2)/t where t is the amount of time one revolution of the disk takes...

Miller Factor: Big Spreadsheet
http://millerfactor.blogspot.com/2008/05/big-spreadsheet.html
Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Wednesday, May 28, 2008. I did some math last night based off some guesses as to my power consumption. I modeled my power usage in a nice spreadsheet. Which just reads the spinning disk on the power companies meter. I have never used one or know anything about these. The theory is sound. The formula to compute instantaneous power consumption from Wikipedia. 1991 Audi 200 T...

Miller Factor: And the spinner was detected
http://millerfactor.blogspot.com/2008/06/and-spinner-was-detected.html
Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. And the spinner was detected. The next step is to optimize the design by removing any unnecessary components, and cleaning up the output to produce a clean digital output. I also have to figure out how to mount the thing nicely. I'll post the final design when I am done. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). And the spinner was detected.

Miller Factor: The vomit maker goes on vacation
http://millerfactor.blogspot.com/2008/06/vomit-maker-goes-on-vacation.html
Document my trials as an engineer in a world filled with normal people. Or maybe just a list of funny pictures I have running around. Monday, June 23, 2008. The vomit maker goes on vacation. This is one of my infrared shots from a trip we took pre-children. She was still pretty much a puppy here, but she did a nice job sitting still for this shot. I believe this was in Jackson, WY. I don't know the story behind all the antlers, but I believe they were collected from a nearby wildlife reserve.
