I read about this some time last year. The total cost is killing, especially here in Malaysia. Still cheaper than a true 'ginger' though.

hehehe nobody here is going to build that scooter like machine i think...too pricey and no true value ^^

bump bump more robots more electronics more led please!

bump bump bump!

woohoooo elec....tronic !

Can bump one meh?

How much is the cheapest digital multimeter sold at Jalan Pasar shops? I bought the DT-830D in Kuantan for RM15 last time. Now see Carrefour sells it for RM60. Now thinking of buying a cheap digital multimeter because my probe wires are broken. And sometimes I want to measure voltage and current at the same time.

My DT-830D is really accurate for the 20 volt range. I tested it in the lab of my university. All digits correct.

DT-830A RM15.00@darson. Voltage & current measurement is quite accurate but resistance has tolerance of 4-5 ohm.

this is non-post count thread mar should be ok to bump! just wanna keep it alive lol


cheapest? If you dont mind to get those yellow type imitation...its around 15-30 dude

That reminds me, i just got me a 179


Dead accurate, perfect for my work since my last multimeter exploded violently (I wasn't even mine ), plus besides being great for my usual work. It just owns when it comes to comp geekdom, comes with a thermocouple, easy grip probes and a non slip case. Knowing my carelessness, i think the investment was well worth it (Got it for 5 days and blew up the 1000V fuse )

nice item u got there will go to jln pasar next week to search for this model and see what it is priced at ^^ and going to get some new hobby kits too !

Truly worth it if you're hardcore. Anyways, got a book on electronics by hambley. Anyways, anybody here want to build amps, i'm interested in the SOHA and Gainclone amps and would appreciate it if a few of us would post on it's design and improvement.

That's one sweet Fluke

do u have any ebook for that ?

If you need advice on semiconductors I wouldn't mind providing them since I come from a semiconductor backgroud

Anything from the standard group IV semiconductor like silicon to III-V technology, just fire away

what chip to use for handling large amp motors? just asking.. lazy to googling around.. hehe

anyone using microchip's PIC??

I got my smart card reader working. Now playing with MyKad. Reverse-engineering, hehe.

Success: reading out the JPEG photo. It's slightly less than 4000 bytes, 150x200 pixels.

Cracking head on the thumbprint format. Found standards specifying 6 bytes per minutia. But what I found on my card looks like 4 bytes per minutia. The data that I'm looking at matches the description "500 bytes per print". The header at the beginning contains the string "R1L1".

OMG. I love this thread, since I am currently in my first year of E&E engineering.

currently got project (actually a year two project), where we have to create a circuit. my group will do the mosquito repeller (using ultrasonic). but we need to modify the circuit (in order to get good marks). still thinking about how to modify it. actully, none of my group members are good in modifying/designing circuit. neither do i. i bought breadboard etc to do some self-experimentation at home in future ( after i settle all the projects )

btw, did you guys know where can i get moon shaped LED and other wacky-wakcky shapes LED? been hunting for them a few weeks already.

anyone here know about tomy brand product ?? they are going to sell new type of control helicopter rite ? oni cost RM 80.... use infrared one... charge few min can fly 80 second haha its made by paper

hi, i also from semicon background and working in a semicon company now.


u mean driver? what motor u want to drive? got stepper, dc and ac. Mayb u can use Darlington pair BJT to increase the current.

yah, i'm been using it for my fyp. Great micon. I've been using different micon. PIC, Motorola, 8051, Atmel, Hitachi and Mitsubishi
