    Sometimes you get a break

    Hey 'vette, did you get the new MOSFET's at Radio Shack? I have a board that is in need of new ones and I might as well go with something a little beefier. Got the part number handy for them? ;)

    Sometimes you get a break

    I found several cold solder joints on my x2 control board. They revealed themselves when a large resistor fell off the board and shut me down!!

    Trying out metric

    A couple of quick rules of thumb... Roughly 2.5 centimeters to the inch (2.54 but 2 1/2's close enough for raw stock) 1 meter = 39 inches (again, a close enough) And the golden number 0.03937 for converting millimeters to Imperial. 10mm x .03037 = .393 3/8 (or .375) / .03937 = 9.52mm
