[1218266195] Electronics help..

No.12645 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I have managed to put together a simple impact/pressure sensor, but now I need to make a circuit board that has a row of LEDs (say 10) that default to on. When a sensor is tripped, it will turn off an LED. If two minutes go by without a sensor being tripped an LED turns on again. The board will need to monitor input from as many as 12 sensors.

I know next to nothing about to electronics and was planning on putting this thing together with one of those white training circuit boards you can get at Radio Shack.

Anybody able to help?

what is the best way to make sure you send a completely anonymous email? Is going through vectorproxy and using 'sendanonymousemail' enough?

I have searched long and hard and other than a few $70 apps I cant find anything. My girlfriend is staying with her ex/babies daddy and I dont believe that they dont even talk to each other. . I have found a couple of apps that you can listen to the surroundings of an iphone but all of them require you install it with the target jailbroken phone in hand.. does anyone know of anything I can install remotely by calling her or having her download it through a text? She isnt tech savy at all so it wouldnt be hard to get her to download something... Im desperate to hear the conversation she is having with him, I must know if she is worth staying with or if shes doing shit she shouldnt behind my back. Who ever can give me the best solution will get a free game ($25 and below) on steam. Thanks for your time anon!

What Android/iOS apps do you use on a daily basis?

Obviously Phone/Dialer and default Messaging apps are out of the question.

I use Snapchat, Sleep as Android, My Boy! emulator, MyFitnessPal, Quickoffice, and Torch pretty commonly.

[1393554251] Wheel

Reinventing the wheel

It started with this question: How can we get more people to cycle?

- Assaf Biddrman, 36, founder of Superpedestrian, which makes the Copenhagen Wheel

Replace the back wheel of your bike with this wheel and turn it into a hybrid e-bike for an easy, hill-defying commute.

The Copenhagen Wheel captures the energy you use while riding and braking and stores it in a battery pack for the times you need some boost. The battery life is 1,000 cycles and the charge time is four hours.

The wheel is controlled though your smartphone. Simply place your phone on the handlebar and its bluetooth module syncs with the wheel's sensors.

   It works with an app that lets you lock, change gears and decide how much motor you want to use.

   Sensors in the wheel collect information about pollution levels, traffic and road conditions.

   The project, by Superpedestrian, a Massachusetts, US, startup, will start shipping by May. The wheel costs US$799 plus shipping.

INSIDE THE HUB

All components that make the wheel work are packaged inside the hub.

GEAR PACK

MOTOR

BATTERY & SENSOR PACK

ASSEMBLY

The wheel is assembled by taking out a bicycle's back wheel and replacing it with the Copenhagen Wheel.

POWER AHEAD

The wheel stores the energy from pedalling and braking in a battery. The battery, which is inside the wheel, uses that energy to provide a boost when needed. For example, when going uphill.

SMARTPHONE

With a smartphone app, a rider can control the wheel's adjusting and locking functions.

SOCIAL NETWORK

Riders can share data with others to create a community-wide portrait of riding and other road conditions.

From food stamps to billions

WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum signs $19b deal with Facebook

He has signed an eye-popping US$19 billion deal with Facebook, making WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum's life a classic rags-to-riches tale.

   WhatsApp is a fast growing mobile messaging service with over 450 million users.

   Mr Koum, 37, has become an overnight billionaire - he is estimated to be now worth US$6.8 billion.

   But when he moved to the US from Ukraine at age 16, he needed food stamps to survive, business magazine.Forbes reported.

   He was raised in a rural community outside Kiev, Ukraine's capital, in a house with no hot water or electricity.

   When he and his mother moved to Mountain View, California, she stuffed their suitcases with pens and a stack of 20 Soviet-issued notebooks to avoid paying for school supplies in the US.

   Mr Koum's father, a construction manager, never managed to join them in the US and died in 1997.

   His mother took up babysitting and he swept the floor of a grocery store to help make ends meet.

   When she was diagnosed with cancer, they lived off her disability allowance. She died in 2000.

   On Wednesday, his life changed forever when Facebook bought over his company.

   Fittingly, he returned to the Mountain View welfare office, where he used to queue for food stamps, to sign the deal.

   The offices for WhatsApp, which Mr Koum created with Mr Brian Acton in 2009, are only a few blocks from the welfare office.

SCHOOLBOY

Mr Koum was a troublemaker at school. Though he spoke English well enough, be disliked the casual, flighty nature of American high-school friendships. He said that in the Ukraine one went through 10 years with the same, small group of friends.

   He said: "In Russia you really learn about a person."

   By 18, he had taught himself computer networking by purchasing manuals from a used book store and returning them when he was done.

   He joined a hacker group called w00w00, squirrelled into the servers of Silicon Graphics and chatted with Napster co-founder Shawn Fanning.

   His humble beginnings appear to have instilled in him a strong work ethic and dislike for egotism.

   WhatsApp may be a global phenomenon, but it has no sign at its office.

   Mr Koum told Forbes: "I can't see a reason for there being a sign. It's an ego boost. We all know where we work."

   Mr Koum and Mr Acton worked out of the Red Rock Cafe, a watering hole in Mountain View for start-up founders.

   It took the two just a few years for the app to be worth billions of dollars.

FACEBOOK DEAL

It is Facebook's biggest acquisition and comes less than two years after Mark Zuckerberg's firm raised US$16 billion in the richest tech sector public stock offering, AFP reported.

   The WhatsApp purchase includes US$12 billion in Face book shares and US$4 billion cash.

   It calls for an additional US$3 billion in restricted stock units to be granted to WhatsApp founders and employees that will be spread over four years.

   Facebook said it will keep WhatsApp separate.
