    Any HVAC guys/gals in here?

    I wired up an Ecobee3 this evening and everything works great, however while I was upstairs hooking up a C wire, I noticed that the common wire for one of the Dampener controls (downstairs thermostat) is not actually hooked into the zoning board. Is there any conceivable scenario where this...

    Cauliflower ear and tight helmets

    My ears must stick out a bit because I just started noticing that my technique of just jamming my lid on is starting to hurt and cause fluid build up. :( I think it's likely I damaged the cartilage in the upper part of my ear. This is the second time it's happened. The first time earlier this...

    Guitar Lessons in the East Bay

    I've been playing for the last 7 months and eventually I'm going to run out of online lessons. I'm pleased with my progress and I'd like to keep moving forward, but I've had mediocre instructors in the past who are not suited to teaching, so I'd like to find somebody really good. Any personal...

    Electronics stores in bay area?

    I need an $.89 capacitor (330pf if you must know) and radio shack only carries it online. They want $6 to stick this thing in an envelope and mail it to me. This enrages my frugal ideals. Surely there must be a brick and mortar store somewhere, preferably in the East Bay, so that I may...

    Noise from the front tire - 05 Kawi 636

    I normally ride with ear plugs in but today I didn't and noticed an rhythmic thumping/whumping noise coming from the front. It's speed dependent, starting up around 30mph. I had a new Bridgestone S20 installed before the last Hawthorne rally, the bike has only seen a couple hundred miles since...

    What is the oldest movie in your Netflix queue and why haven't you watched it yet?

    TV shows don't count! D13U has been sitting in my queue for not 1, not 2, but 3 whole years now. I added it because a buddy put D13 on one day while we were drinking and I semi-enjoyed it because of all the parkour action. The problem is that the more I think about it, the more I was...

    Pet Insurance

    Get it. There are not a lot of things that have brought me to tears in my adult life. But one of them was the 2 or 3 seconds I weighed the cost of life saving surgery vs. his expected life span. It is gut wrenching. I always figured that something like this would happen as he got older and...

    Guitar nuts, help! (see what I did there?)

    Originally I was planning on getting just a standard MIM strat with a 9.5" neck, but I stumbled upon a players deluxe with 12" neck and only $100 more than a used MIM standard. The hardware and components on the players deluxe seem like a nice bump from the standard, I'm just not sure about the...

    Anybody with a firm grasp of electrical circuits and MOSFET behavior in here?

    Give me a shout out via PM? I'm having trouble with what I think is a bad component, but not 100% sure. Thanks, Cully

    EE folks, help me out!

    I want to re-purpose an LED on a PCB for my project while preserving it's original function at the same time. Can I remove the two pin LED and replace it with a 3 pin bicolor LED? The the signal source for the second function comes from a completely separate board, but both boards are grounded...

    Master Electricians - Halp!

    Hi Ernie, Actually yes, there are three Romex sheaths coming into the box. All three have white wires and all three of those wires are joined by a twist on connector with no lead out. I attempted to illustrate this in my diagram by joining the three white lines. Here's a picture of the...

    Time for an upgrade? (c. 2007 windows machine)

    Current box is a home grown Vista machine running an E6600 C2D with no O/C on a nvidia 680i chipset. It's been several years since a clean install and after eyeballing the metrics for Win8 and Win7 vs. Vista, I think I'm going to upgrade the OS. Since I'm doing that, I might as well upgrade a...
