Yep. Sucker for PCB work! Only time I use wick is if I'm re-installing a SMT IC, and I use wick to completely clean off the pads. D

Woot! Gotta like that. D

Excellent scores! This thread rocks. D

Ohhhh.... Out of stock tho. :( D

+1 Have a super happy terrific birthday slaving over our site. :) D

Re: WTB Black Hole - cash or cash+trade Noticed you don't have a location listed in your profile.... location is always good to know for these types of things. D

I thought optos always register as "on" in switch test until the beam is broken? D

IDC is the cheapest way to connect a wire to a connector pin which is why it's used. The downside is the resistance it can create between the two connection points. Under heavy load (such as GI) the resistance creates heat, and as it heats it degrades the connection even further resulting in...

Nope, you won't. It's included in the $8. :D (Brokerage is always included in the cost of priority shipping w/ UPS or Fedex etc) D

That's a good idea, but we need to get the view new post action to work first. (it got busted when we started moving the avatars around and it hasn't been fixed yet) D

It is interesting to ponder what Jack's intentions were with putting the demo's out with such a limited software release.... Only time will tell how this plays out. D

+1 on all of the above. D

Unless something on the power supply board (should be in the top right corner of the head) is burnt you won't be able to tell much without a DMM. Could be one of a number of things causing the issue unfortunately. Let us know how things go, and if you strike out with T&C I can put you in touch...

Where are you located?

If you are sure it's just the cord then it's no big deal, but where you were having the start and ball issues I'm banking on power supply issues. If you're not handy with a DMM and board repair, best to have someone that is take a look at it. If I was closer I'd offer my services. I do know...

Hey Kyle, Definitely sounds like you're having power supply issues. Do you have a DMM handy to test for voltages on the power supply board in the head? Doug

I don't have a RS so I cannot comment on what the shaker should be doing during test, but maybe Brewmanager can confirm as I know he has one. Checking the brushes on these motors is dead simple too. You could pull the brushes out and eyeball the amount of "meat" left on the brush, this is...

Everytime I've ordered from Newark shipping has been reasonable. (they are Digikey's main competition and are usually on par) D

Then Newark is your friend... http://canada.newark.com/fairchild-semi ... t=qve11233 125pcs in stock. The only issue with this is you have no idea if the inventory is in the US or the UK, but you could always call to find out. You're welcome. :) D

Dont bother with Sayal, just order it from Digi if they have the correct part# and be done with it. They usually ship overnight if it's in stock. Going with a sub is fine if you have the datasheet for the original and the alternative to compare, but if the original is available why go through...
