I recently made repairs in the apartment and decided to check if there is any chance at the current level of development of wireless equipment to create an apartment full of high-speed wireless network. Initially, the task seemed inappropriate (at home quite successfully, you can use Ethernet, why bother with WiFi?), but to convince myself that wireless technologies are not standing still, I decided to arrange a small test. One of the main criteria of success was the ability to view on a plasma panel HD-video rips with the volume from 10 to 30 GB in conditions when between file storage and replaying device is no wired network.

Explosions and fires resulting from gas leaks, unfortunately, are not uncommon. Recognizing the work of administrative bodies and emergency services, hams designers can do something yourself to minimize this danger. However, in the field of gas control is simple and accessible to a repetition of the device is almost there, or they are unnecessarily expensive.
To the store to buy a hood and install it in the kitchen is relatively simple — it requires only money, time and skills to screwed into the wall screws. But to diversify the inclusion of a drawing and automate it so that your hood has become to surprise the neighbors and, most importantly, to have added comfort in your kitchen — the case for the present enthusiastic radio Amateur.
Four years ago in the “Modeller-designer” was published my article on snowblower. Today, I present to the readers a material of another property – the use of GSM communication channel (i.e. cell phone) to the alarm system. This is, perhaps, a new direction in Amateur practice. Suffice it to say that in the famous magazine “Radio” was only two publications on this topic. But, given some “heavy” “fancy” schema processors, programming, intervention in the scheme of the cell phone will pull not everyone (even seasoned) hams.
Good day! In this post I want to share with the Internet community on how I happened to make a automatic light on the stairs in his two story cottage. About four months ago, returning from work in the dark, I successfully slipped and broke two pljusnevyh bone (finger) on his left foot. A whole month had fail in bed, so as to step on the foot was incredibly painful. Then another half of the month was lame without plaster (who had fractures, I’ll understand). After this sad story, I began to think about automating the lighting of the stairs. A bit of tinkering with the search query found a very simple solution in this blog, just based on my favorite Arduino microcontroller. The scheme did not cause any difficulties, but was baffled by the number and length of the wires that I had to mount. Prior to that, did nothing of the sort. To buy ready decisions, or to hire someone is expensive.
In the memorable 1990-e years I worked at the Kirov plant instrument maintenance computer. Every morning we had to go down to the basement to enable refrigeration. Bulbs in the basement then disappeared, burned out. In short, as a rule, to see the switch, had to use matches: even to buy a flashlight for the plant was the problem. Then appeared the idea to make such a lamp yourself. From the power supply batteries and battery items I refused: they often fail, leak or anything. I did almost “eternal” condenser flashlight.
Among the means of self-defense e-treskovye device (ASH) – not in last place, especially the strength of psychological impact on criminals. However, the costs are considerable, which encourages radio Amateurs to create homemade analogues (detailed material about it see, for example, in No. 5,’99 the magazine “modelist-Konstruktor”.
In order to obtain a sound signal of high power (10 – 20W) from the simple Assembly of a sound generator, does not require complex amplifiers WOOFER.
On the recommendation of the manufacturer to eliminate the memory effect of Nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd) should clear their element to 0.4 V. For the implementation of the above requirements and automate the process of disconnecting the battery reaches level 0.4 V the authors propose a simple device.
Of the readers who didn’t lose metal parts or tools? Sometimes it happens at the most inopportune time and threatens to permanently stop work. Lost somewhere in the grass screwdriver that fell behind the Cabinet chisel or a failure in a pier of pliers is able to ruffle anyone. In such cases a simple device – a magnetic probe with light and sound alarm. Using this simple device, you can easily find the loss in hard to reach places and the fact findings you will be notified outbreak warning led and buzzer. The principle of operation of the probe is quite simple – on a long rod fixed two magnet “sticking” to the metal object which closes the circuit and lights the warning led. Thus, you can know when the probe with discovery, you can extract the “light”.
