FIRE - BREAK GLASS - I press the glass!
Просмотров 130 тыс.8 лет назад
I wondered what it would be like to press the fire button. Quite uneventful as it turns out. The glass snaps right down the middle as intended. Here's how it was for me.

Arduino random Morse callsign generator
Просмотров 76510 лет назад
An Arduino (clone) generates some UK amateur radio callsigns from random prefixes and random letters. Then generates the Morse code for the callsign. Speed and spacing can be set in software, just needs programming. My code is not optimised and may not be done properly but it works as a concept at least. I haven't double-checked my programming of the Morse so there may be a letter or two that a...

Linux cowsay to TM-T88IV receipt printer, using Raspberry Pi and PHP
Просмотров 11 тыс.10 лет назад
Cowsay to receipt printer, using Raspberry Pi, PHP and Python. PHP uses exec to get the cowsay and then "*morethan* /dev/ttyUSB0" to send it to serial port. Then python script prints cowsay and cuts the paper. Access and print from any computer on the LAN with a web browser. Printing to an Epson TM-T88IV receipt printer. More infos: I connected the printer to the RPi using a cheap USB/RS-232 ad...

A3144 Hall effect switch - introduction
I need the method for Ubuntu with the USB method. Please.
Im sorry that i dont like this Call point because its not resetible
If you have a laser cut machine you need: mica ( plastic glass) 0.9 mm, cut out rectangle 4x7.7 cm
I wanted to know how to reset this old bad boy. Cos theres no space to enter a key in this one
Test key enters on the bottom left of the unit. To reset once pressed you have to undo the screw to remove the front plate and replace with a new glass sheet.
Old kac call point
Hello Alex , do you have the arduino code for this great project ,i have been looking all over for something just like this,and I would love build one.
Are U from London?😂
I was watching this to build the kit that I have, so how many turns per side does the first torrit take. I also need help with the adjustable one as well
Unnessasary you did the video very fast,it was irritating for eyes,better you shortened the video in between
why the shit music,its anoying and not needed,big fail!!
excuse me, do you know what is the cable used for that 3 pins (at the source side)?
it looks like some kind of communication port but i didn't find any information on this
You have no video
The sprinklers didn't activate! That was a dud!
I thought it would give you a range instead of just "close" or "not close" 😢
Thank you. I've always wondered about what you do to break the glass. Fire evacuation instructions rarely seem to go beyond 'activate the break glass call point'.
Does your model have a USB port? I'm trying to connect the TM88 II to a raspi, but it doesn't have a USB port, just serial?
It is the serial model. I have hooked it up to a RPi before I think. Easiest way is to use a cheap usb to serial adaptor and also a serial cable, but can't remember the specifics. I havent used this in years, it's sat in the shed.
I did see one mistake you made in regards to FT37-43. You wired it in backwards as the board pcb diagram was wrong according to the schematic. Would have been nice to see the T106-2 wiring. The video speed was so high even after reducing the speed via Utube. And a clear voice over as what you were doing. The varicaps are very cheap and will burnout with any high voltage across them. You can do a lookup but I would not recommend anything above 1watt. All in all I enjoyed the video even if it was going at the speed of light!
I have a vintage UK call point what uses non laminated non saftey glass, as it was made way before call points had saftey glass like they do now.
i have just built one of theses and it works real well, i tested from 2mHz-30mHz, i couldnt get it down past 1:1.2 at 4mHz and divisables of 4 but evey thing else was spotless, some things to watch out when making it,#1. dont believe the size of the holes on the sticker, ie. the mounting screws on both pots are 6mm on the stickers(too big) and #2. the knobs on the pots are the wrong ones but i did what you did with washers and long screws, i also fitted SO239 along side of the bnc plugs, jus paralleled but plan out where the mounting screws go, but what fantastic value for money, it also shows how a "TOONER" works! THANK-YOU! big T/U+SUB.!.
Finally figured out that this unit can be used to read 12V battery charger output volts and amps. Source side connects to the charger leads and the load side connects to the battery you want to charge. Thanks for sharing.
shame nice video but it is not clear how many turns you use the video is too fast, especially when you finish the reel :-(
The coolest prank!
I bought what I believe to be the same kit from a different vendor. It came with drill templates but no instructions. Does anyone have a link to instructions?

So now you know how not to install a radio 🙈
So, all one has to do is to break the glass and nothing else?? There's like, no button under the glass to press??
The circuit for these must be closed all the time - like someone holding in a button on a doorbell making it ring indefinitely. (Safer that way - you'd know sooner if there was a fault!) When the button is held in, the circuit is closed. Once it's released, the alarm triggers - the panel at the other end realises something has broke the circuit. Above the glass on the model in this video is a small microswitch held in the "on" position, which flips to "off" if the glass breaks. Older models had a similar thing, but it was a button right in the middle of the glass which you could see - you didn't break the glass to press it, you broke the glass to let it spring out.
@@MeMyselfAndEyez Oh! Thanks! Now I get it!
I once had to pull the fire alarm. There was quite a big fire in the corridor. The glass didn't break in half. It broke into a thousand tiny, sharp peices. I got about 6 pieces of glass in my finger.
Ouch!!
ouch 😣
Wrong capacitor connection !!!
Why Glass? Is there done reason it is glass and not a button? Will the glass automatically break under a lot of heat?
No it’s just how they are made back then now they are plastic instead of glass
probably so it’s harder to “accidentally” pull it but that’s just a guess
Thank for clip & i found it what it is. Enough 4me. Thum up
Dig it, and the music. Thanks for your time and effort.
Of course the SWR circuit is wrong. One lead of C1 goes to T1 (GND) but the other lead of C1 is wrong, please disconect it from T1. It should goes to the node R4 with D1 (catode). In this way, the SWR circuit should works lighting the led. Regards, EA4AON Javier.
Hello Will it run 72v? Thanks
Can it reaction with watch pulse?
Thank you for sharing such an interesting and useful work. It has helped me a lot and this is my result with analog version (AH49E) 😄👍🏼🧲: ruclips.net/video/BAfxA7JvHsE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/lOM5GylRBGY/видео.html
My hand tools also often get the walkies. Eventually I usually find them hiding in the most obscure places. They must conspire when I'm out and about! SWR Crct not workie? LED in backie? For the price, I can't see how I could go wrong even with some flaky components. After all, I are a HAM! It'll be great with my uBITx-V6 and/or QCX transceivers. With care, even my soon to be IC-7300. TNX for posting your build. It'll be a good rainy-day project........ 73 OM

MANDE EM PORTUGUÊS COMO FAZER A LIGAÇÃO DC power/watt meter 60V 100A
I built one and it works ok, but let down by poor quality components, especially the rotary switch and the crappy knobs on the capacitors. I had to replace the switch almost immediately, as it had an internal breakdown. And get yourself a cordless Dremel!
I recently assembled one of these. The build is horrible and took much longer than it should have. IMPORTANT FYI: The SWR circuit is labeled wrong on the PCB. It should be flipped around. Compare the schematic to the PCB. It is labeled wrong! Another reviewer noted to use 3 turns and 9 turns for more sensitive pickup (works with 100mW QRP transmitter). Yeah. This kit has horrible instructions and a PCB that is very badly designed. It's not a bad kit of parts - but LOTS of deficiencies on the build. I've already re-written the instructions, with much-needed construction tips, and am designing a new PCB to replace that crappy one. I'm also making a new front label (in English) and drilling guides.
I don't know where all those wires go and why they mean. I see a board with some holes in it and bunch of little wires here and there. Whatever you mean with them all. I know the principle of what hall effect sensor is.
My friend tried to break the glass to set it off but couldn’t do it so I told the office and I snitched on him

Dude, You`re cool! 73 :)
Thanks for posting the video of construction, but I feel that it was lacking in testing technique at the end. It would have been nice to share your testing with a rig. Perhaps if you join a radio club, you may be able to get some help testing the assembled kit. What rig were you proposing to use this with? I don't feel that your rating of the kit was justified. The kit would be used by an Intermediate level Radio ham with at least a 10 watt licence. You don't seem to have one.
Thanks to ALEX. Can u mention that 2 SELLERS ? Prefer reply to my Emai bsnvu2yc73s@gmail.com. I like to get 2 kits.
No wonder, it's not working. You build it up without any patience and perfection. As it seems, you have never learned how to do a precise Job. Sorry, a butcher will do it better. Never give less than your Best!!!!

Thanks for answering my question, I was wondering if this only works for a charger and battery. Not much wiring information in the package.
