In this 3rd streaming radio video, I'll look at some of the streaming add-ons (content sources) available for Kodi/XBMC. It would take dozens of videos to cover all this information in detail, but I just wanted to give a brief overview of some of the streaming options available. I'll also look at a few of them in more detail. You can get Kodi from a number of sources, I used the OpenELEC build below for both Windows and Raspberry Pi: - http://openelec.tv/ That install will include the Kodi add-ons repository from which you can install the Music add-ons. I also installed the TVaddons repository from: - http://fusion.tvaddons.ag/ There's many more official and unofficial Kodi add-on repos available, a search on Youtube or your favorite search engine will bring up tons of information about those. Check out Husham Memar's excellent Kodi channel: - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb5DkdbEOBNoOY7RGkGN4pg I mainly run the Radio and NPR add-ons to get basic radio playback on my old portable TV that is now a streaming radio player: - https://youtu.be/nm38gbKpVYE It's solar powered and I can also run it portable off of a 12V LiPo battery pack. This has let me unplug a radio and a set of powered speakers that I used to use in my garage/shop area when I spend 8-10 hours a day with my business. So while over the air radio signals are free to receive, I had been paying for electrical power to run the radio. Now that power comes from the sun and I can also tune in radio stations well beyond the range of my old antenna-based radio. I know there are internet radios available for purchase and I did look at those in the past. But they cost more than a RPi and only do that one thing. On top of that, they have one of those nasty 2-prong electrical plugs on them, so I would simply be trading a plug-in FM radio for a plug-in internet radio. Now I have a full streaming media player and it runs off free solar power to boot. And it's made from an old obsolete portable TV a few pieces of open source hardware and software. Now I used an old analog TV as it had a 12V power supply, display, remote control, speakers and an audio amplifier ready to go. But you could build a streaming radio/music setup from scratch using a touch screen LCD screen plugged into the RPi display connector. Add a Bluetooth adapter in a USB port and finally connect up some Bluetooth speakers and you would be set. Questions welcome in the comments section below. And as always, thanks for watching! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJPy5SwVa-I

Using the Takagi tankless water heater display to calculate heat output and gas consumption. You can switch between *F and *C by pressing/holding the Info button for 3 secs. You can adjust the temperature between 100*F and 120F just by pressing the Hot/Cold buttons. To go above 120*F/50*C you need to press/hold the Hot+Info buttons. You can also calculate the heat output and gas consumption of the heater with the information on the display. Think of it like your Kill-A-Watt meter for an electrical load. Temperature rise is like "volts", water flow is like "amps". Calculations: Tin = 71*F Tout = 146*F Trise = 146 - 71 = 75 Flow = 2.6 gal/min Gallon of water = 8.34 lbs Flow = 2.6 x 8.34 = 21.68 lbs/min BTU/min = 75 x 21.68 = 1626 BTU/hr = 1626 x 60 - 97,600 1037 BTU/cu.ft. natural gas or 91,000 BTU/gal. propane Since 8.34 x 60 = 500, you can just take Trise x Flow x 500 to get BTU/hr, or Trise x Flow / 2 = cu.ft./hr of natural gas. And to be more accurate, divide the BTU/hr. by the 0.93 heater efficiency factor, so 97,600/(0.93 x 1037) = 101 cu.ft./hr. Or simply plug your temperature and flow numbers into this calculator: https://www.advantageengineering.com/fyi/288/advantageFYI288.php References: https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=45&t=8 http://www.erpud.com/comparison.htm More to come, 1st month's gas bill: https://youtu.be/yTRC6piyqLo Be sure to rate, comment and share And as always, thanks for watching Intro: Louisiana Fairytale by Austin Rogers http://drfiddle.com/show_tune.php?id=94 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYecHPXXQSE

Showing why and how I use the OSM maps on my older Garmin GPS units. I picked up my first GPS, a Garmin StreetPilot-III, in 2001. It was awesome at the time, 3.4" color screen, voice navigation and a whopping 128MB memory stick for maps. Maps weren't highly detailed back then and you could get a good portion of the US street maps on that unit. For a more portable GPS, I picked up a Garmin Edge-800 bike computer in 2010. It is great on the bike, showing cadence, speed, heart rate, slope, temperature and lots of other data. Plus it has a 2.5" color display and a 4GB micro-SD slot for maps. I used to use the official Garmin maps on both units. However, I began to find those maps were lacking. They were missing trails, they have meaningless names for roads and trails they did show, the coloring of the maps was hard to see on a small screen. And as time went by, maps got more detailed to the point now that you need over 4GB of storage for a decent US street map. So I started using the Open Street Maps on my Garmin units. They are kept a lot more up to date based upon user input. They get released on a much more frequent schedule so that new information is incorporated quicker. I find the OSM Topo maps are a great all-around map option. They are routeable. They have a Mapsource installer to allow for map tile selection for uploading to the GPS. The simple color scheme works well on small displays. And you can't beat the price. I do throw a few dollars on the map provider's Paypal link now when I download an update.
