Photo Circuits
Thanks everyone for all the answers to my previous questions. My photo
circuit is mostly done. Done in the fact that it works. It could probably use much improvement, but it works. I built it on a bread board and mounted it in a hard plastic VHS tape case. (Had to use a razor blade to cut off the inside ring for the video tape.) Those actually make reasonably nice project cases, and the transluscent ones even allow one to easily see indicator LEDs without having to drill holes for them. But I worry that they kind of plastic that the transluscent ones are made from may be static prone. Anyone know? I have rediscovered how useful those 555 timers are. Anyway, thanks again. Henry |

Anyone know? probably they are. you could line them with antistatic plastc (ask at any place that assembles computers they'll have heaps.) Bye. Jasen |

Jasen Atually I previously asked at 3 different places (like CompUSA, etc.) for anti-static foam or plastic and was told that they have none. Some said they throw it away immediately, some said that it goes with the customer. Henry |

Can I wait outside for some? Thanks!" Good Luck! Rich |

At work we mainly do support but build PC's about once a week, we're always throwing that stuff out. -- Bye. Jasen |
