Skippies and Kiwis

back to electrics.

I just love the accuracy of gps dataloggers

looking at that i doubt it was a duck that killed your last rigger,more like a cat or dog running across the paddock

I think good old Russ the famous Kiwi Poof has already had a crack at Dr W's crack if you know what I mean

Last actors I 'played' with wore uniform in 'Gallipoli' .. I was one of the train passengers on way to departure at the wharves.

As a youngun I was involved in Railway Steam Preservation in S.Australia's North..who supplied the steam locomotion and heritage carriages for several Aussie films..

Sorry Randym ,, I was saving myself for someone special. ... but the taxman beat you all ....

Ive tried 3 different EagleTree gps units..all suggest I am 2.1m north of actual.
At least the error is consistent ...........

The df33 log pic is to show the pond, not kml ..data shown is a small tunnel doing rollover playdead... the logger couldnt relate that to 2D,

My Eagle Tree makes a good dust collector. All of my boats go beyond it's 180 amp limit. I believe that Hyperion make one that goes up to 250 amps. It is about time someone made data loggers and esc's that go up to at least 400 amps. 400 might be overkill but so is 240 kph on the speedometer of a Honda Civic.
I think we can forget about my son ever making an esc Andy. Like a lot of intelligent people, he would rather sit on his a$$ smoking happy weed and telling people about how intelligent he is. I am tired of listening to BS from young people about how bloody good they are. I am having a Douggie rant and could explode at any moment now. I bloody work 50 to 70 hours a week because the young ones want to go out at the weekend. I just hope if anyone ever invades us it is not at the bloody weekend or we will be stuffed. BLOODY YOUNG PEOPLE. Now I feel better

I too burnt a couple EagleTree units....

Since made load shunt that feeds back to Tmp port for 0-300A readings in 1A increment.

Open the bdr file in excel, and copy tmp column into amp... PC software then shows data

Paddy, I am similarly afflicted ....the latest son-in-law nominee has aspirations of grandeur and exhalations of mary-jo . Daughter habitually brings home strays..... she fattens them up for a few weeks...grooms them, house trains them.. I take them for a long drive and discuss honesty, integrity, work ethics, and future goals .. had a 100% eviction rate..
This one keeps finding his way back .....

Paddy once asked for a schem of my esc.
When Ive finalised the esc, I will release it as a prebuilt unit

Damn, that is funny....Doc, next time take him for a short drive and tell him that your daughter has uncurable syphilis.
Do not prod me on the status of a lot of youth today..the silver spoon generation or so they think.

May be time for a Douggie RANT.....I am off to find my soapbox

Intelligence without application produces lethargic morons , Paddy-o.
An offspring's intelligence brings grief if talent 'wasted'.
Get off ur bum , ya lazy rotter.

As a child I was an ignored overachiever ... bored out of my friggin mind with the life allocated me by hard working main stream parents.
The environment I found myself within seems so alien now.
Nuthn beats a few years of discipline, technical education .. free trips overseas an added bonus ! ( tours of duty).
You return home certifiably edumacated, psychology neutered , irrationality denatured, and very employable.
I love my working class roots ( read that anyway you like ) but thrive on and totally enjoy what I do today.

Push your son out into the cold .. sink or swim ...
Worked on my daughter.. told her when she moved out that i reserve the right to point, laugh and say
" nah Nah , I told you so ! "
Childish defiance brought its own rewards.

Doc. on a seperate matter. I am on the maintenace board for the building I abide in. We had a highly respected electrical company come in to install a new exterior power outlet..everything was great until a workman plugged in a saw on the new outlet and poof...a breaker did not break... the fire alarm magnets on all door released and could not be restored....electrian had wired the new outlet to one of the junction boxes for one the magnet releases ....same electrian arrives and notes that the neutral wire on the outlet and the magnet where he took the splice are now hot..the same for all other magnet outlets....he installs new neutral wiring...problem solved....tech states that can happen on old wiring...what do you think???

( the individual who attended may not be the brightest lamp on the tree )
If you squeeze him hard enough, brown matter will escape .. he is full of it.
All fire/smoke/safety doors/alarms/devices must be wired independently from consumer applications... active and neutral cabling alike.
By feeding a saw from that power grid he has drawn more than said grid could supply neutral to.. creating a 'heating element' from the ground circuit.
Be like 200A on 8awg red.. and a 26awg for the gnd .. pfft.
Bad stuff that.
Show him your size 9 does almost fits his arse as you kick him off the premises.
Litigate.. and get someone COMPETENT to do the job.

for $138hrAu id do the job.. add call out fee of course. be aware I hate hagis, but do love Angus beef and scotch in liberal quantities.
A man canno work on enthusiasm alone ....

I think he will be another one who never had sex with Monica and did not inhale it
Why cant he be like his dad. I had sex with anything that moved and if it did not move I would shake it. As far as inhaling, I could blow smoke rings out my a$$

All he has to do is make me a 500 amp esc and he will inherit my Kingdom, but no, he probably finds it more challenging to look for magic mushrooms. I do not want someone building me an esc who is high on magic mushrooms. He should leave that to the guys at Castle

Im not a medicated Doctor, but Im fairly sure you have a disfunctional esophagus . .. Tell me, ...do your balls feel a draft when you sneeze?

If someone can produce a cell capable of 500A Id try to spec esc to suit.

Dont knock Castle..they just have to play catch up for us marine guys.

Dont read too much into it. I am just an angry father who is pissed at his son. I had to watch him casually drink someones coffee and hold out his hand to take the $120 in their hand on Sunday. All he did was put a copy of Windows 7 on their laptop computer. Smart a$$ little prick. $120 and coffee and cream cake for putting a copy of a program that almost self installs on to a lap top. I have to work 3 months for $120 and my boss wants me to buy his coffee and cream cake.
As far as 500 amp controllers go I am thinking of a bit of a safety margin. It would be nice to give a controller a hard time and know it will come home without unlocking Douggies apartment doors or letting the smoke out of it and making my boat smell.

It sounds to me like you have found a way to make them frogs vibrate and it shook some of the wiring loose.
