Wall of Shame

allanhurst:

Nice.

I like the antenna.

allanhurst:
could someone explain how to post a picture directly, not as an attachment....?

Someone already did (click !), and also told you why you need to do it this way.

Sorry, didn't see there was a next page.

Ahh yes....


12V SLA charger for a garden sprayer.

Yes someone did plug a 240Vac IEC into the 12Vdc socket on the sprayer.

Fuse in sprayer went bang.
Replaced fuse, everything works.

Tom.... :slight_smile:

The stuff soldered on top of the Mini looks normal. Not even any dry joints.

I know. Other than the grime it's a completely respectable point-to-point construction. It doesn't deserve having its own father ashamed of it.

I've done prettier. Sometimes

Cover it in hot melt glue......

Some years ago I was working on a 1.9GHz mobile phone, and finally figured out a problem ( ie my mistake) . Bodged up a test solution with a stonehenge type mid-air construction of 0402's. Under the microscope it looked b*y awful. But it worked.

Gave the lab technician another 6 to do - and she did - with the unaided eye! And under the microscope they were works of art. And of course they worked perfectly

Good technicians are wonderful!

Don't know if this qualifies for the wall of shame, but I installed Win 10 on a rebuilt computer and was clearing out some unnecessary files when I came across this:
WPNPRMRY.tmp size: -1 byte.
Does deleting it take up more space on the hard drive than keeping it?
If I copy it enough times will I get an extra terabyte of space on the 500Gb HDD? :o

What reported that size? Explorer?

Wisecare 365. It's usually pretty accurate and clears a load of crud from the hard drive.

Oh my, what is the world coming to?

Does your version of fritzing not have the sciency coiled wires ? :slight_smile:

I was in panic for a moment, but then i found the source of the picture.
The end of this thread isn't close yet so all of us can keep on breathing.

I see some icky spots on the lower right breadboard, which may have something to do with abuse and/or mistakes made.
So i guess Paul got there through some learning process too.

But that is indeed what these breadboards are supposed to look like, certainly if you want to publish pictures of it.
So good job, Paul.

I tried making something like this yesterday:)

This makes we wish I had taken a picture of the circuit I lashed up last weekend. I fit a potentiometer, two buttons, and an H-Bridge circuit onto a 170-point breadboard stuck to a protoshield and connected with the cheap jumper wires. It looked like velcro.

Well...if I did it once, I can do it again!


Can you believe I made no mistakes on the connections either time?

I like the colours! :slight_smile:

.

Oh My ,
What current are you using on you breadboard.

Why doesn't this work when powered with 12 volts ?
(rhetoric question in this thread)

I hope there is a large puff of smoke and a burning smell

It deserves it
