LOL, I thought you all meant Fish, as in a weak poker player.

 

I gallon milk, 18 eggs, green pepper, red onion, 12 good breakfast sausages. Everybody off tomorrow and pig out family breakfast looms. Omelets, sausages, fried potatoes, fresh fruit. WOOT!!!!!

 

~$40 worth of candy to give out to the kids tonite and a 12pk of beer and a pizza for me.

 

Turn the lights off - drink the beer and eat the pizza. Save the candy. WIN!

 

First legal pints and clubbing outing.

 

£15 on cheap servos
£17 on resistors, capacitors, diodes, LEDs, LDRs, transistors, potentiometers and various semiconductors.

Damn I hope this plan works... and I hope I don't have to shell out another £5 on photodiodes...

 

Damn I hate the time zones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't get a chance to glorify this occasion with The Ferrets. I will rectify that now.



Welcome to Beerhood. I hope you enjoy many more but stay away from the piggys!

 

I FRICKIN LOVE FERRRETS.

 

Happy birthday dude, how was your first legal pint?

 

Probably not as good as the 2nd or 5th

 

Ferrets are the ****!

Ha, I hear you on that! I still got like 3 more years. What legal drinking age in the UK? Isnt it 18? (heard rumors from some cumdumpster from the UK, shes a disgrace to the country)

 

Apparently is the big 18. Ah to be so young again!

Nevermind. I barely lived through it the first time.

 

LDRs will work fine (assuming you ae making a light following robot) If you are making a line following one you will need the photodiodes, IR ones are the ones we used in class.

 

Are those ferrets fursty?

 

Ummm.... those are possums... Not ferrets..


Oh well

Happy Birthday Mankz!

 

Wrong on both counts, I'm afraid.

Fun project for you though; the line following robot really doesn't need much precision, so you can 'hack' an LED into acting as a photodiode by using a couple of op-amps (not tried it, but you might get away with a Darlington pair/Wheatstone bridge style arrangement) so you end up using 4 infared LEDs to do the emitting and sensing. If you were trying to be really clever, and have a very fast uC you might even be able to use just 2 LEDs and like a SONAR crystal, alternately pulse and receive.

Food for thought, I guess.

 

Woot for being 18

And yes, legal drinking age is 18 in the UK.

 

psh, that aint cool. Why do we have to wait till 21 then?

 

So you can continue the thrill of drinking illegaly for a few more years.

OT: Many pints of Doom Bar. I really, really, wish I hadn't because it spent all night wailing on me, and I left the pub before closing time.

 

Gratz Mankz!
