Hardware biz / Re: "findability" and search engines
There are websites on this, specifically for PHPBB3 fora; http://www.phpbb3seo.com/ .another one: http://www.phpbb-seo.com/ , and this phpbb3 mod http://www.phpbb-seo.com/en/phpbb-mod-r ... t4608.html does exactly what you describe.
Seach Engine Optimalisation is big business, I know webdesigners that pretty much have it as their number one selling point. All these websites and mods do lead me to believe it would have a significant effect, and there are some really informative topics op DP, so who knows.

General discussion / Re: good and cheap usb microscope
[quote author="arhi"] .. I just need to find store that will ship to this stupid country... [/quote]

Lot's of Chinese knock offs that will ship anywhere in the world on ebay. Ofcourse you're definitely not
guaranteed the same level of quality, but it might not even be a lot worse.

Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Re: STM32 and I2C
[quote author="igreg"]Hi Rubu

[quote author="Rubu"]Funny, one of my first uses of the OLS was also for looking at serial traffic (USART, though) from my STM32VLDiscovery. [/quote]

Do you think you can have a look at my code, just to check that I haven't made an obvious (but not for me ...) mistake ?

Not sure I'm the right person for that, I'm only just getting started with ARM cores myself. Other than that I'd be happy to take a look.

Turned out it had to do with all the clocks and pins not being configured correctly, you might want to give that a double check ;) Anyway, good luck with it!

And if this is your first time with the ols, you might want to test it with something you know does work first, like the Arduino.

good luck!

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / Re: Eagle Tips and Tricks
Same question was asked over here, and the answer was:

"Hi Aaron,
 
a multi-user license, let's say for three users, may be installed on all computers of the license holder, at the location of the license holder, but may only be used simultaneously by three users. The computers can be connected through a network or it can be single computers.
If you want to have three users working in totally different locations, let's say one in India, one in Europe and one in Australia, althought they belong to the same "company" you would have to buy three single-user licenses.
 
Regards,
Richard"

So that's a no-go.

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / Re: Toner Transfer heaters
[quote author="sdixon"][quote author="JimNarem"]Shipping for digikey is only $2.41 for USPS, too bad that mouser is so high.  Mouser has thermal
cutoffs, but they only go up to 150 degC.  [/quote]
Just a bit of an aside regarding Mouser shipping.  For small orders, Mouser will do USPS if you ask them in your shipping instructions.  This will bring the shipping down to a similar cost to Digikey USPS.[/quote]

Any idea if they do this for international orders too? and when is an order 'small'?

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / Re: Indoor cat locator
[quote author="pppd"]
Regarding cats not being able to learn.. I have heard/read that cats obey you only when you are around, so if you want them not to do something there must be something that's scaring them at all times not just when you are looking :) We'll see how it goes.. I will make the log public and accessible in real-time ;)[/quote]

I sometimes feel cats kind of perceive things the other way around, one cat I know always seems to think it's her house and you are just visiting.. It's great to see where this is going!

Project development, ideas, and suggestions / Re: Custom keypad
There are some PIC's around that have a Capacitive Sensing Module,( CSM, mTouch, CTMU, not sure what the name is..) that would reduce the extra hard- and software to a minimum. Check out this appnote. I don't have experience with it so can't say how easy it actually is, but might be worth looking into.

General discussion / Re: KiCAD PCB design tutorial
I've got very minimal PCB design experience, but am planning on getting into it a little bit more.
Did some Eagle, which was pretty smooth, but I did find somethings not as intuitive as I had hoped. So I'll definitely be giving KiCAD a go sometime soon. DesignSpark also looks tempting. Does anybody know how good the documentation is for either of these to get started from (more or less) scratch?

Open Bench Logic Sniffer / Re: Continuous sampling mode
[quote author="dogsbody"]"..."[/quote]

Doh! I forgot that with 16/32 channels, the RLE counter is also 16/32 bits!

[quote author="kinsa"]My current RLE code always sends the counts irrespective of the RLE bit implementation. This was meant to standardize the interface to the client.

So in worst case scenario, a 10kHz signal would generate 20k samples/second.[/quote]

That probably doesn't matter for jbeale's scenario, as it only makes a difference when changes are only 10ns apart, which, from my understanding, won't be very often.
