It doesn't come with those trig function etc. But I bought a simple one with fractions for that.<br /><br />Put on the pic of your little one if you can. He sure sound adorable in your descriptions.<br /><br />Regards,<br />WongWongsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583616007802325379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893240155821655221.post-16294062492773018332010-09-21T22:51:34.442-07:002010-09-21T22:51:34.442-07:00Hey Wong!

I will disconnect the wiring from the PCB and install the 35 Watt element in my Weller iron when I solder them, and I'll be sure to tin the ends of the wires before soldering them, too. I bought solid core/single strand wiring to connect to these because I thought those may be easier to solder to the cups on the XLR style terminals, but I'll keep a fan and some soaked sponges handy to prevent ruining the insulation material inside them (these have plastic insulators though, not rubber, so I hope they can withstand the higher temps that the 35W element in my Weller will output).<br /><br />Thanks for the warning! <br /><br />You're making some good progress on your projects it seems; great material in your blog! I'm trying to keep up with it as I can and I always enjoy reading your new entries. Keep up the good work!<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Adam Collins<br /><br />P.S. I had to google your reference to the "Casio F-200;" I thought it may have been a keyboard before I searched it. My TI-30XIIS (a $15 Texas Instruments calculator) has served me well throughout the course of my studies, even when the majority of other students bought graphing calculators for the last math class I had taken, I still used the same TI-30XIIS and learned those equations and functions the hard way on it! I thought I'd be moving onto calculus at the time for the engineering degree I wanted (and still want), but I may eventually go back for those classes after finishing the machine tool program (I still think I'd make a good engineer, but I LOVE operating both manual and CNC machines-especially the industrial sized ones!)...Adam Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046705760179219217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893240155821655221.post-80014116387701639012010-09-20T07:39:34.332-07:002010-09-20T07:39:34.332-07:00Hey dude,
Good to have a pic to the name :)
I...Hey dude,<br /><br />Good to have a pic to the name :)<br /><br />I've had problem soldering wires to those cups. Couldn't seem to get them hot enough for the solder to flow. When they did, I smell rubber...<br /><br />Regards,<br />WongWongsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03583616007802325379noreply@blogger.com
