ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I feel awful about what I said to you guys today. I'm beginning to rethink, and decided I'll try to accept a little more constructive criticism. Sorry for the outburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuffNStuff Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Well, idk if you guys would care but I figured out a circut in which to trigger a light going 30 mph. Which in essence is a shift light, but at 50 to 100 dollars per light, (our team needs two) we dont have that much. This circut uses a frequency to voltage converter. Which uses one transistor a few resistors and one $.70 chip. This is a custom circut and in order to build and apply a custom circut like this, (the circut SOUNDS simple but the transistor is pretty complicated. Some of you may know what I am talking about and some of you won't) but this will win us the engineering of the year for the second year in a row. To explain how it works.... First a signal input comes from the magnetic pickup (i.e a cyclometer from walmart) this signal hits a resistor to slow it down, where a capacitor is in parallel. So when the capacitor recives enough pulses from the magnetic pickup, it discharges a small signal voltage to the tranisitor (also in parallel) which causes it to forward its bias and pass current through the amplifier signal circut which a LED is hooked up. Thus turning it on at 30mph or 8.4 pulses per second. I figured this out with out the help of a teacher ( he didn't know jack about transistors and their real usefulness) Now this is just one circut out of seven that we are using one our kart. We are monitoring A/F ration, rev count to 30mph on the engine, and distance count on the wheel to see how long we glide. I am in charge of all the electronics on this kart and I can't believe that I actually could pull it off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 ;) :( This sucks!!! My best friend`s mother died. I am gladly attending the funeral this Sunday. It feels like I`m cursed, and I`m losing people I know one by one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like I`m cursed, and I`m losing people I know one by one. Sorry about that, but with life comes death. Be thankful that at least they aren't all dying at once.

PuffNStuff Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 My life... is going pretty schnazy right about now.... Not only did I take 2nd place in 3d solid drafting, (losing only to my brother) I might have taken 1st place in the state mechatronics (study of automation, electronics and pnuematics(fluid power))compitition! We find out this wensday. AND I finally got my copy of AutoDesk Inventor Professional to install! YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Wiped my computer, finally recovered all my bookmarks. I back up regularly to DVD, though I don't include bookmarks though. I can easily find the import stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Krystal Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Working at GDC was awesome. I'm doing it next year. Also, looking for a job there too. Being there has inspired me to work harder and make great games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebel_gunman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I got freakin' extended! I was coming from the mess decks when I saw a sign in the SNCO's door that said "You're getting extended m***** f*****! Have a Nice Navy Day!" Then I got to the berthing and my section chief tells me that its true! Only God knows when am I really goin back home!! at least we are not goin to africa. Uganda and/or Somalia were the place we were goin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krystal Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thats great news Rebel!!! I think you misunderstood him. He meant that he can't go home because they extended how long he has to stay at work for longer. This isn't really a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I'm beginning to think that I should delete my profile on deviantART, set up a new one, and tell everyone I'm a different person who has the rights to the real me's works. Do you think I should do that? I'm doing it because I was blocked from Mel-P's userpage, and I'm thinking she'll let me back on if I'm a different user with an entirely different personality. Either that, or I could just submit a bunch of journal entries that bash the he@# out of her, just a little bit of payback. What do you think?

No offense, but it seems to me that you are fairly new to the internet. Don't worry about that, because I myself am new in a way. If you do bash Mel-P, you will likely be reprimanded in some way. If you make up a new persona with the rights to your works, everyone will see right through it. If you are creating a new page purely for the purpose of accessing Mel-P's page, I wouldn't do it. If you are just taking the whole starting-over concept to an extreme, I would just make a new page and leave out your old works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Krystal Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 No offense, but it seems to me that you are fairly new to the internet. ROFL, nicely put. If you make up a new persona with the rights to your works, everyone will see right through it. If you are creating a new page purely for the purpose of accessing Mel-P's page, I wouldn't do it. Yes. It's a bad idea. You'll probably get banned from DeviantArt entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARWINGCOMMANDER 3987 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Figures. There`s also this user I like named LabNumber002, and I haven`t heard from her in ages now. I`m starting to worry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
