I built one of these, for fun (it does work):

I use alexa.

See, there is another example of
you trying to be funny or clever

No its not. Its me pointing out that alexa
works a lot better as a time, because you
can have as many timers going at once as
you like and name them so its obvious which
timer has gone off when it does go off.

But completely and utterly missing the point
of the electronics and nostalgic exercise for
a common used electronic component. It
wasn't about timing or timers at all.

No point in making something that you don't use.

Any idiot (that can speak) can 'use Alexa'
but not everone can solder (well)

And end up with a grossly inferior timer.

See above.

See above.

or do other practical stuff.

Like work out how to get the best timer and
even get real radical and work out hot to get
a lot more force on a tree that you are
bending back to where it needs to be.

Irrelevant. It was about nostalgic / electronics,

Only for fools. If you want nostalgic / electronics,
you use a pi or arduinos and make something useful.

not using Google or Alexa.

You say you built your own place but from your
comments here, it could well be all made out of
pallets and cinder blocks with a tarp for a roof?

If you havent even noticed that some
****wits try desperately for an insult...

As you yourself are doing...

Nope,

Yep, you were clearly just trolling as
you always do and are doing again now.

if I want an insult from you I'll just prove you wrong in public.
However, I wasn't looking for one (so you are wrong yet again)
but simply trying to get to the bottom of your issues.

You werent with that pathetic excuse for an insult about my
house. Which leaves anything you have ever done for dead.

Are you bored

Nope.

and so willing to do anything to get attention

There you go, doing it again.

And since this **** is the best pathetic excuse for
a troll you can manage, here goes the chain on the
rest of your even more pathetic excuse for a troll.

Believe it or not, I would be mildly interested to hear what
(diy related ideally) gear you had found at garage sales

Vast range. Like lots of beer brewing barrels so I can have
20 brews on the go at once, so I can get the years supply
done in a couple of weeks when it doesn't need heating
or cooling. Lots of power tools so I have 5 welders,
everything from the massive great transformer based
stick welder I built the house with to a MIG, a TIG and
a decent little inverter that's good for small jobs.

Brilliant very solid 8x5 trailer, 5 ladders of various configs.
lots of power tools, still, hundreds of full sized glass beer
bottles we call long necks, massive great freezer, the
biggest you can buy, which happens to be the pigeon
pair of the fridge I bought new. Spare tyres for the
trailer for peanuts. Various very decent laptops.

Lots of the rigid plastic drawer sets that are intended
for paper etc which are ideal for storing small stuff
and meds etc.

Thousands of books.

or stuff you had picked up broken and repaired.

Don't do much of that, there is so much that still works perfectly,

No point to anyone with even half a clue in
making something that you don't use when you
can make something that you do use instead.

Yes with stuff like ships in bottles etc, but
it makes no sense with electronics when you
can make something that you use as well.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you

\were always just trolling and blowing hot and cold and
engaging in attention seeking...

Sorry Andy,

I was waiting for another visor to print and thought I'd see if they
would see sense.

As you say, trolls, so a waste of time. They are back in the box in
any case. ;-)

I haven't touched a soldering iron for about fifty years, so I thought of

myself a USB scope, a couple of multimeters and a dual stabilised DC power

they were in 1970 - 1980) left over from various commercial/military
projects. I hope all this will keep me interested for a while. I started
building a novel design for a human presence/movement detector in 1976,
but shelved it because of work commitments, so I will probably continue
with that for starters.

Sorry, I am just rambling in my old age.

One thing you could really do with is one of those almost universal component testers, £12 or so on fleabay. Essential if using old caps, otherwise just very useful.

Indeed. If you think back a few years and just how much the equipment
would cost then to do everything they do.
