Making a Telecaster out of parts also known as a “Tele Partscaster”

Image
I put this together a while back, but never got around to posting about it. There really wasn’t much to it, to be honest, but I’m going to stick it up here anyway, in the hope that it’s of use to someone. I really wanted to get a Telecaster and liked this kind of style, but also wanted to spend as little money as possible, while still getting a decent guitar. I found a guy on ebay selling solid alder “loaded” tele bodies pretty cheap (where “loaded” means, as you might have guessed, that it includes the pickups, pots, pick guard, etc). I really wanted to take this approach this time around because when I made a strat, I was surprised how much I ended up spending on all the bits and pieces. This way I’d be able to build a guitar by simply adding a neck and tuners. The loaded body: This is the neck I got. It was a returned neck and sold as a “second”. The only thing I could find wrong with it was a very small nick in one of the frets way up the fretboard (on the 19th fret or something,...

Electronic Circuit Project Use a Transistor as a Heater

Image
A temperature sensor and a hot transistor hold biological samples at a preset temperature. It is common to use transistors for driving resistive heating elements. However, you can use the heat that a power transistor dissipates to advantage in several situations, eliminating the need for a separate heating element because most transistors can safely operate at temperatures as high as 100°C. A typical example is in a biological laboratory, in which the need for maintaining the temperature of samples in microliter-sized cuvettes is a common requirement. The space/geometry constraint and the less-than-100°C upper-temperature limit are the basic factors of the idea. Electronic Circuit Project Use a Transistor as a Heater: Figure 1. IC1 senses the temperature of the item that Q2 heats, and the temperature remains at the level that VR1 sets. You can use an N-channel IRF540 MOSFET to directly heat and control the temperature of a biological sample from ambient to 45°C. Figure 1 shows a simple...

Tutorial WII NUNCHUK CONTROLLER AS A UNIVERSAL

Image
This pinch project was realized with the ATM-18 controller module.This controller module has an ATmega88 microcontroller as and is a collaboration between Elektor and CC2 (Computer Club 2) . The Wii Nunchuk is addressed via the I2C interface. Resourceful tinkerers like Chad Phillips have the protocol and encryption algorithm found. Some possible application examples: Data Logger. Detect acceleration values ​​over a period of time and store them in an I2C EEPROM, eg damitr a drive to record. Pan-tilt camera control. A camera mounted on servo control over the Nunchuk. RC model remote control. Together with an RC transmitter to RC cars, robots and airplanes could control and so on. What is needed: WII Nunchuk € 19 Make a nunchuk adapter 5 $, or DIY yourself, or simply cut off the plug ATM-18 module or replica, it comes with an Arduino Board LCD module for display, alternatively UART connection Optional (but highly recommended): 3.3V voltage regulator bi-directional level shifter 3.3V / 5...
