I DO like the idea of a small home project resulting in Megadeaths... But I still think the insulation won';t make it warm significantly more, not on a level you can't overcome with more elements. It's easy to time, even now - rise and fall times.

To Quote Tim Taylor: Needs More Power!

Perhaps a heating element in your plate - that's going to be your big thermal capacitor. I like the idea of a fan, but it's a heavy job for a fan if it's in there. Perhaps a junked toaster and blow the fans through it, or a hair drier.

Insultation? Are you nuts? Unless you're trying to make back the 50 cents you'll spend on electricity, I'd recommend against it. You want to be able to CONTROL the temperature, which means either you need a high speed powered cooler you can rapidly and controllably switch on and off, or you need the...

Silly long post. Perhaps I should divide it up. This silly forum doesn't do multi-quote so sorry, I did everything in Notepad. :-P The spare IO memory region will likely have a validator handler like other memory regions have. IE, it won't be possible to misconfigure it. You'll get an error back whe...

Ok, I haven't read the thread yet, I'm not caught up. But I keep sending Fred stuff via IM because I don't want to lose a thought. So forgive me if this is off-topic or already been covered, here's a few thoughts I've been having: Yeah - the idea now is... examine the range of things you might WANT ...

Jami! Why the sign off? Fred wasn't saying it didn't belong. I don't want to duplicated efforts. If you want to stick to coding and give me something useful to do, we can. But what we need - ASAP - is a single reasonably golden BOM - at least for a basic build. Advanced features could just have thei...

As far as getting more people doing software development.... Who's going to work on a system when they don't have one to test? How do you spot your corner cases if you don't have someone running it on the street, reporting what's wrong? In a way, this highlights the issues with a "universal&quo...

What is SM?

Not sure I have a lot to add to the electronics end of things. Hmmmm, with all your worrying about banging the ignition hard enough I'm temted to tell you to charge a big cap up and gate it.

Edit: DOH! It was on the AL (Acronym List).

So.... I kinda failed to lead any charges here, but..... Do we have enough to make a master list yet?

Jammi, any progress? Anything I can track down for you?

(No luck on the infineon chip here either. Too bad.)

Probably won't get to this till tomorrow, buried in other stuff just now. But, the idea is to get the parts list worked out for a "standard" build, which means finding a part number for the usb conector, etc. Not all the questions are for myself, which is why I'm asking some basic ones. JH...
