Street light photocell : curiosity teardown
This week I'm exploring a photocell that is used to control street lighting.
It's somewhat different from the one Big Clive looked at a couple of years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQDIb09cLug), but it does the same job.
Tearing this down put my solder sucker to the test - and it did well, even with the huge pads and big pins. https://pileofstuff.ca/r/5rclq if you're interested

playing-with-servos
After installing a few servos to operate the turnouts on my model railroad, It occurred to me that I should figure out what I'm going to use to control them all.
This video is me exploring a few of the different bits of Arduino hardware that might do the job.
I covered the installation of the servos on the railroad in previous videos that can be found in my "workin' on the railroad" playlist.

I love the spring. Yard sales everywhere!
Now, I don't *always* find amazing deals at yard sales, but when I do, I just have to jump on them.
Here's what I have found so far this season.

LOOKI
looking-at-zener-diodes
I sat down to sort out the assortment of zener diodes from a mailbag a while back, and this is the result.
Sadly, the result is a bit disjointed and consists mostly of whatever popped into my head.
I guess that's what I get for insisting on not scripting anything.
