It's no wonder the IR-sensor of the toilet-flush-thing isn't working like that, when you removed the housing you also removed a little opaque black plate that fitted around the LED's. Without this plate, the IR sensor is in direct line-of-sight with the IR LED's. That will certainly create a false signal.
I have one of those eTrex Legends! It's a very handy little GPS unit. One time when flying and the aviation-specific GPS in the plane with the external antenna kept losing the satellite signal, I got out my Legend and put it up on the dash board, and used it to fly lines of longitude more accurately (down to 5 decimal places of longitude) than I was with the big expensive piece of junk. I also have a handlebar mount to carry it on my motorcycle, and can use it to stream the GPS data to the laptop so I can run a moving map for road trips. I even stuck it inside a model airplane with track logging turned on so I could upload the entire 3D flight into Google Earth. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has only 8MB of on-board memory and has no expansion slot for a micro SD card like some of the other eTrex units. Oh, and the data transfer over the 9-pin serial cable is painfully slow when loading map segments onto it.
In the future, a handy trick for testing infrared LED's is to use a cell phone with a built in camera, just use the viewfinder to look at the LED's, and you should see the bright light being emitted. Its also useful for testing remote controls and even observing the pulse signaling use by IT transceivers.
@EEVblog For the flushing thing, may be you need to cover the direct path from the IR LEDs to the recieving LED with the provided plastic shroud (visible at 5:31)? Worth a try may be?
I still have one of those connectors in my parts box (I bought two). It was great for uploading geocache waypoints. The official Garmin cable was way overpriced (of course).
I'm sure he would have, had he known it was an electronics issue. for all he knew, it could have been a wiring fault or a plumbing/coolant issue. australia has pretty strict laws about fiddling with stuff that you aren't licensed to fiddle with.
Actually, it was a pretty good representation of a Southern accent. ;) Please do an entire video of you trying to use the American accent. I could use a laugh.
I use the older version of this pokeys (the 55) to control the front panel of my cnc lathe. It allowed me to use the original keyboard with it's keyboard scanning feature. Works pretty well.
those security torx/hex screws are daft. just jam a screwdriver in there and snap the nipple off, then use a normal torx/hex wrench. works for me anyway :P
Dave, I have an eTrex legend that is in worse condition, a few dead lines in the LCD and the LCD itself sometimes go intermittent and I have to slap it a few times to bring the screen back. My lanyard strap mount is busted in the same way. I got it for five bucks at a Hamfest including a Car adapter and a serial cable. That is NOT a genuine connector as I have genuine accessories and the connectors match the color of the Legen and are keyed. PM me an email address for a photo Dave.
that little PoKeys board would be excellent for a home security system if bodge-wired to use 48v power over ethernet, with a regulator to give 5v, as i could use it to trigger magnetic door catches once a correct code is put into a keypad or a correct RFID chip is detected. also a vibration sensor could detect if someone is attempting to force the door, raise the alarm and notify me by email or pager etc :)
I've been starting to make my own PCBs and using SMT components to do some cool simple stuff. Can I send something like that in and maybe get some feedback on my techniques?

Ha. People complain to you about the Australia/Austria joke, getting first/last name in the right order, and clearing your throat? People need to relax. Your videos are great. I especially like your tutorials. I've learnt so much about electronics since subscribing to your channel.
my gradpa has one of the recent models of these gps'es with a backlit screen, I modded it and added a 3ds joystick since my grandpa has really big hands, he was really happy, :)
Etrex Legend ! What is it you say ? "Don't turn it on, tear it apart !" I hope you managed to save the Psion Series 2 that you tore apart the other week, it is much more worthy to be kept thant that Garmin !
I seen on a study that people and ALL mamals take about 17 seconds to pee. So stand in front of it for about 17 seconds. The stuff these people study.......did they hide out in bathrooms ?
Is that a "list of unusual words" website you have up there? (28:44) can't wait for the next video to hear some of those! Another fine smorgasbord of goodies this Monday (There's a word for ya :P) Fantastic MBM as always!
No joke for real my cousin went to high school with a dude named Richard Head i think i went to school with like his nephews or something his name was Hank Head Jr
LOL I'm italian and I have to say italians are pretty bad with electronics. I had to replace 20 euros worth of caps in an italian made portable turntable from the 60s, they were all leaking.
@28:30 and this is the Moment where the Trojan-Horse Device took over the LAN, scans and sniffs als the traffic and reports back to the command server in slovenia. :) System on a chip makes dropping remote network probes real cheap and easy. :)

I wonder if the filter you discarded from the front of the sensor board might have prevented ambient light from overwhelming the sensor.

I think that was the best mailbag in a while. I am pretty impressed with the speed at which the temp/humidity logger was setup.
Glad you love Canada Dave, we love you too!
They still have your poscope hosted with your last temp and humidity. WE DEMAND TEMP UPDATES!!!!
7:50 - I'm guessing you're getting LOTS of light leakage, it being out of the package!
You may find that the flush counts the number users and flushes after so many uses or after a time out after being used once

06:07 - Dave, are you sure it measures distance by time period? In my opinion it's most likely uses intensity of reflected light, not a time delay.
I bought a stack of cables from him a few years ago.
Worked well, although fragile in design.
hi i am from slovenia and the fire extinguish is a day of fighters in slovenia

I still have one of those connectors in my parts box (I bought two). It was great for uploading geocache waypoints. The official Garmin cable was way overpriced (of course).
The temp sensor may just have taken a little while to auto-compensate for self heating.
That maybe why it was a bit out at first.
The connector on the pokeys looks to be offset so as to allow insertion of a battery?
I'm sure he would have, had he known it was an electronics issue. for all he knew, it could have been a wiring fault or a plumbing/coolant issue. australia has pretty strict laws about fiddling with stuff that you aren't licensed to fiddle with.
The COSM interface is now called Xively
there were three clock devices for LPC :)

That pokeys device would be very handy if it didn't need winblows and .net to program it.
Is there no ISP header to program the micro?

I thought you can see infrared leds through a camera. In your video I couldnt see that..
Some cameras have better IR filters than others,
At 6:10 you can hear windows starting in the background
Whats the audio for on the EZ-Flush?
could you kindly say at what part of the video the private invormation is?
sincierly, youtube inspector

Love the random Windows noises in the backround

EEVblog Wait a second... If you cant Google for that Chip, why can you Google for the Cable???
+Craft4Cube Silly. They keep Cables on a different internet : )
Perhaps a read of the manual might have got it working...:)
6:07 Windows XP !
Hackeras 32 i guess blue screen of death an then reboot
Hope you changed your password for the eevCosm account. ;)
is it me or is the sound volume a little low?
I was going to send you a puppy, but I don't want to see you dissect it.
my gradpa has one of the recent models of these gps'es with a backlit screen, I modded it and added a 3ds joystick since my grandpa has really big hands, he was really happy, :)
You should use all your mailbag gadgets to flush the toilet from the internet
Etrex Legend ! What is it you say ? "Don't turn it on, tear it apart !" I hope you managed to save the Psion Series 2 that you tore apart the other week, it is much more worthy to be kept thant that Garmin !
The E-Z flush device activates a video camera
cosm is a LogMeIn branch, never heard of them. :l
I never disagreed just funny to hear it said that way after saying it the way I do for a long time! :P
Austria is near Germany.
I seen on a study that people and ALL mamals take about 17 seconds to pee. So stand in front of it for about 17 seconds. The stuff these people study.......did they hide out in bathrooms ?
ah italian components, nothing goes wrong with more style and passion
You have at least 2 followers from Slovenija :) The stamp "Teden požarne varnosti" translates to "week of fire defense".
Is that a "list of unusual words" website you have up there? (28:44) can't wait for the next video to hear some of those!
Another fine smorgasbord of goodies this Monday (There's a word for ya :P)
Fantastic MBM as always!
Nice job on publishing someone's private email address on TH-cam :)
slid you blind it by taking off the lense
If Dave goes to Montréal, I am definitely meeting him! p.s. the proof I speak french is that I can type è à ç é... lol!
Nice video. Does the Pokeys56E use C for programming like Arduino or python (raspberry pi)?
oh no, now he's going to be spammed by all those people who go around harvesting private email addresses from youtube videos. Said no one ever.
Austria not Australia
he already did in a more recent video
You are 1 smart guy!
No joke for real my cousin went to high school with a dude named Richard Head i think i went to school with like his nephews or something his name was Hank Head Jr
Wow, this guy lives in the next suburb over from me...
(2155 here)
LOL I'm italian and I have to say italians are pretty bad with electronics. I had to replace 20 euros worth of caps in an italian made portable turntable from the 60s, they were all leaking.
At 26 minutes, this a kind of arduino right?
clipart stamps in slovenia :)
HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS DAVID ROBERT JONES!!! SOMEONE CALL THE FRINGE TEAM!
ahah it seems funny to me how you say I squared C, I've always heard of it/called it I2C, or "I two C"
are you sharing your happy with us???? i have my own hapy when ebay things comes!!
Maybe because cosm is in beta
AmericanS know grammar!
cool maxime, je savais pas qu'Il y avait d'autres viewers québécois!! :))
