21:02 y30354396 wonders if Tom made a 12vdc to 15vdc booster for sale on
21:05 rue_shop3 tomtop eh?
21:05 any30354396 ?
21:05 rue_shop3 the converter?
21:06 any30354396 i was thinking of soemthing to make up for Vdrop in long lines of cheap trailer wireing
21:06 rue_shop3 led tail laights
21:06 rue_shop3 no current, no drop
21:06 rue_shop3 ?
21:06 any30354396 and the drop thru current limiter circuits (the emitter resistr)
21:07 any30354396 there's 7w (and more!) led taillites, 2 is an amp, plus the side lites
21:07 rue_shop3 I use boost supplies as ballasts and a supply voltge under the vdrop of the led
21:07 rue_shop3 7w led is gonna blind the person behind ya
21:08 rue_shop3 I have a 5w flashlight I made
21:08 rue_shop3 12V jel with one cell shorted
21:08 rue_shop3 its perfect
21:08 any30354396 red and diffused?
21:08 rue_shop3 no, white and pointed
21:09 any30354396 the led lites i put into the car are great at nite, but with the sun on them , they hardly visable when on
21:10 any30354396 i have a 12v off the battery run to the rear, i figure i caninsert a 3v boost, and then current-limited switching for car and trailer separately
21:10 any30354396 then, dim if the headlites are on, otherwise bright
21:11 any30354396 adjust by pwm the on-off transistors
21:11 any30354396 zhanx would know
21:11 zhanx Spent half the day at the er, so tight now no

21:12 zhanx My back slipped out again
21:12 any30354396 o.u.c.h.
21:12 zhanx A bit
21:13 any30354396 you cannot play army with a bad back, it makes you unreliable for carrying other people , or howitzers
21:15 rue_shop3 I'm verrymuch thinking of accelerating the schedule for the mecha so I can use it as a non-wearable powersuit
21:15 any30354396 you can be proud of what you did, and pass the baton, and do civilian support roles
21:15 y30354396 ponders stretching rue to fit the 12ft mecha,, and decides no
21:16 rue_shop3 its that time of having to do things around th yard that are big and or heavy
21:16 any30354396 your power wheelbarrow cannot handle it?
21:16 rue_shop3 it dosn't make bricks walls that well
21:20 rue_shop3 I was supposed to cast the rollers for the control frame today
21:20 rue_shop3 didn't get out to get propane
21:21 any30354396 i spent hours at lawyer, and still had to make 2 trips into town anyhow
21:21 rue_shop3 still lawyer stuff?
21:22 any30354396 but, i found various sizes of that white poly hard-ish tubing that's cheap enough
21:22 any30354396 oh, mostly assorted paperwork stuff, and financials around selling the land without paying a income tax penalty, etc
21:22 rue_shop3 ah
21:23 rue_shop3 I think its the heat, but I'm really burned out
21:23 any30354396 if i can get that axle in before next month and a set of tires, i wanna go down and look over a couplea marinas in June
21:23 rue_shop3 tea isn't keeping me peoped up
21:24 any30354396 see what i can fit my plans into, like how much is there that can unfold the boat, so i don't need to build unfolders
21:24 any30354396 see about costs, the roads i haveto drag the boat over, etc
21:25 any30354396 i tubing i got so i can wire the new trailer in a way the mice won't eat the wire before i can park the trailer andnot need it much
21:34 any30354396 ...
21:47 y30354396 looks around quickly for a sec, and then sneezes on rue's s
