all out of that vinyl, unfortunately hmm

batt_dmg.  yes.  i actually had a couple in the shop a couple days ago, but will have to get more clear power switches to stock any more.  i've got the boards ready, just missing switches.  but they are being made, so whenever those arrive they'll be restocked right away

^ no worries smile  i didn't take it as an implication, at all

yeah, i relate to what you mean about lyrics in music.  i tend to not really hear words very well tbh, i hear the voice sort of like its another instrument (yes, i know its the original instrument, not quite what i mean tongue ).  sort of just wailing.  drove my ex nuts, actually, she was a no-music/all-lyrics listener

NSBM, for example, is a genre i particularly enjoy until I take a moment to hear the words (or try to) in the lyrics or read them.  then, i suppose because i'm a stubborn ideologue, i more or less stop myself because its tacit consent of the message.  but so many good nsbm bands.  so many maladjusted people in the world

nooo.  not of DIJ.  very familiar though due to an earlier odd neofolk phase i went through around high school.   (however, the music itself i don't mind at all, its their lyrics and principles/etc that are the issue)

i'm on the complete other side of their ideal.  not my scene.  i don't really wish violence on anyone nor would administer it myself, however i would not stop it if anti-racists or some such were to beat them to a pulp.  that sort of thing. 

just something about sunglasses (seeing them on myself) screams 'oh snap, you look like douglas p, wtf' to me.  actually, i might photoshop a picture of oakleys onto a douglas p pic later for lols

anyways, /tangent i suppose haha

even when i just walk past a mirror and see my glasses darkened like that i feel like I should be in Death in June hmm

edit -- (for some weird reason, i associate sunglasses with Douglas P., not sure why...)

yup

and, i hope you can!

its not even funny how close they are to being released

and slightly amusing how long the LCD screens themselves have been ready (over a year, yikes!)

deleted the double post, happens sometimes wink

Bosch, Hieronymus

His work is pretty gruesome, especially his various triptychs... also kinda creepy, but I like it... which is odd cause I am not usually a big fan of a lot of the religious renaissance art.

best one yet!

you'll enjoy that

(thank you thread.  johan emailed about a thought.  will keep thread updated)

use one of the online 'LED calculator's, google that, do the calculation, and you should come up with the precise value for your particular LED.  adjust upwards from there, just don't go below the value it gives you.

assume the voltage to be 5V coming off the arduino, 5.5V if you want to be a little safer.  and, calculate it for the particular LEDs you bought, you should be able to look up the datasheet for those

its fine to do.  you'll increase the overall current draw of the device, but very slightly.  resistors reduce the flow of current, which also has the effect of lowering voltage.  so lessening the resistance will adjust both those values as well (this is Ohm's law, fyi). 

so, if you are using a console to power the arduinoboy (rather than USB or its own power supply), this is disadvantageous for you to do.  the current draw difference is pretty minimal, but still, there is *some* difference.

actually.  if i can bug MaxDolensky to do a quick recording and test, i'll have something up in the shop later today wink

paging max!

i'll test today, and i can do the bulk order right away if it works out well

i don't see any reason for it not to work well, but just want to be absolutely sure

will also try to get the dev on here so he can tell you all about it more, himself wink

its a general amp, class D, it'll boost the signal for headphones as well

just got three of these in the mail to test for the shop wink  like... literally on tuesday tongue

getting in the car.

I EXPECT TO SEE YOU ALL THERE

you should really come by though, and play with all the things

it'll be after april is over at least.  suffering from budget depletion atm
