Stretch Your Brain. Play With Arduinos.

Parts List - note that I am not (nor do I want to be) sponsored, this is what I bought that works:
Arduino Nano - www.amazon.com/ELEGOO-Pre-soldered-ATmega-Compatible-Arduino/dp/B0D5LYFRQP
Buck Converter - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CPFDBJ6G/
Battery Holder - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08LZNF3T1/
Small Toggle Switches - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0799LBFNY/
Prototyping PCB - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FFDFLZ3/
Programmable LEDs - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C1VJ1WS/
The lithium batteries were salvaged tool batteries from www.batteryhookup.com.
As promised, here's the Arduino code. This was version 7 of the code. For version 8, add " delay(40000);" right before " COUNTER *= -1;}". This will hold a color for a few seconds before changing. Feel free to use this code as you wish without even attributing me. A pro could knock this out in about ten minutes. It took me two afternoons of piddling with it.

The Jaggernaut Runs Again

มุมมอง 5728 วันที่ผ่านมา

It's been over five years since the Jaggernaut pulled into the shop. Today it fired up again. Yes, there's still a lot of work to do, but you don't eat the elephant in one bite.

20241020 OK SCCA Autocross

มุมมอง 3728 วันที่ผ่านมา

I hit up the autocross this weekend, for the first time in three years. It was an absolute blast, and although I wasn't competitive in CAM-C (I'd need sticky tires and 100 hp to be competitive), I was able to wring some pretty good performance from the Mustang. While some say that if you're not hitting cones, you're not trying hard enough, the truth is I wiggled a lot of cones today, just not e...

40 Minutes to Save $120 in Spindles

มุมมอง 466หลายเดือนก่อน

Welding required! I salvaged my trashed Husqvarna spindles with a welder, a rotary tool, and a bit of labor. This video was shot over a month ago and I've mowed a few times since, even running over more sticks and they're holding up just fine.

Is It Shade-Tree?

มุมมอง 23หลายเดือนก่อน

When is it acceptable to make a shade-tree modification to a vehicle? Would you leave bolts out of a customer's car? I hope not, but if it were my car and I were in here regularly, I'd probably leave them out.

Jaggernaut Wiring Update

It's amazing how "a little work" turns into "a lot of work" when you've forgotten all the road blocks you never resolved. Here's links to the wiring schematic and parts. Note that I am not sponsored nor looking for sponsors, I'm just sharing what I've found that works.

Stab Your Distributor

How do you stab your distributor to fire off immediately? Ignition timing isn't the black art some make it out to be.

I've been busy fixing mowers, and that brings up a question, how do you service those old-style grease guns? I also share some mower tips along the way.

$145 Savings on Headlight Restoration!

มุมมอง 1754 หลายเดือนก่อน

My headlights had become a safety concern. They were a worst-case scenario of plastic headlamp deterioration. New headlights and fog lights would have cost $175, but I fixed them with a $25 can of 2K clear coat and a few sheets of sandpaper. As always, I am not sponsored. If I share a link, it's because that product works. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082LJMC6/ If an hour of sanding plastic isn'...

One Time, at Band Clamp...

Some clips and tips from crewing at Hallett this weekend. Todd improved on his personal best at Hallett and finished 11th, 11th, 8th, and 15th out of 16 cars. This is his third year of racing while his competitors are all seasoned veterans, so it's a solid accomplishment. The Mustang being repaired at the end was one of Todd's competitors next to us in the pits. Everyone pitched in with straigh...
