My first lantern… actually I entered a contest of Fenix Store in Cpf. Their prize was a non-rechargeable CL20. When I won, I negotiated to upgrade to this more expensive but rechargeable, brighter lantern and just paid for the price difference.
…and it’s Micro-USB rechargeable, has magnetic base, red light too, cell included:
Got a new bass head for my rig today. It’s an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500. It puts out 500 watts RMS into 4 ohms. It simply blows away the Carvin BX 500 head tone wise even though the Carvin has way more tone controls and a tube in the pre-amp stage.
When one is old and mellow one is lucky if their hearing is still acute enough to be able to tell if the speakers are any good or not. :person_facepalming:
Don, although my hearing isn’t perfect, it’s pretty good for a 65 year old, even though I abused my hearing playing in loud rock bands and going to loud rock concerts. I can still hear subtle differences in my tubed vs solid state stereo equipment. I had my hearing tested a couple of years ago. I can still clearly hear a 15 khz tone.
The mail brought a long waited for piece. And it sidetracked me from the other things I should be doing… :person_facepalming:
It is the last piece of hardware I needed to get into flashing firmware!! So I sorted out the wiring, loaded the PC with the MHV AVR Tools and found a loose driver with an attiny13a on it; a MTN-17DD. Then I ran the test command.
I did get a warning: “cannot set sck period. please check for usbasp firmware update.”
I also ran the copy command and it did produce 4 files as the instructions I was using stated should happen. The same error about “sck” was produced too. I have no idea was “sck” is so am about to search for that as well as check if there is a usbasp firmware update.
It’s all new to me.
Next will be to flash (I keep wanting to say ‘burn’) new firmware to a nanjg I have in the shop.
That’s a red led that is lit… is that good? There’s another led on the board. I have to search out what those indicate. I had to post this first small success though as I figure connecting the wires and then clipping onto the MCU correctly is a good first step. :) :)
One more thing. What do I need to make it easy to see what those lines of hex code actually do? As I said this is all new to me.
