    Does US electric code allow branching ?

    I suspect it is allowed and quite common in areas with separate garages and/or other outbuildings. Last time I looked at the condensed code books (e.g, Home Depot and Lowes) there were instructions for doing that. A separate ground may be required, if it's a building with outlets. 30A is...

    I Wanna build a robot

    Another place to look for help and ideas is the Dallas Personal Robotics Group (DPRG). It's been around a long time and is still active. Here's its home page: https://www.dprg.org/ And here's a link to archived projects, some of which date back to the 1990's -- well before you were on Earth...

    Impact of Tariffs on PCB Fab

    Is that the best you can do? Even Maxine Waters can do better. Pitiful.

    Impact of Tariffs on PCB Fab

    None of you would pass muster to be Treasury Secretary of the USA. Here's what he says: He really means unparalleled prosperity. That's a Fox News error.

    Impact of Tariffs on PCB Fab

    Great laugh and best Independence day in the past 4 years. Thank you for echoing Hakeem Jeffries. Has ETO been bought by Facebook?

    Help with finding unique wire lug(s)

    The keyword is "flag" . https://www.wiringdepot.com/store/p/2727-Non-Insulated-Specialty-Flag-Spades.aspx They can be DIY'd from a ring terminal by cutting out the side or a solid, non- forked flag spade quick connect by slotting the spade. The opening the ring is easier and is what I have done.

    Quick advice on remote car starter?

    I would consider the current condition an anti-theft feature and not try to fix it. But then, maybe you live somewhere cars don't ever get stolen.

    how do we find the period?

    As for reducing by 1, years ago (maybe someone here) described it simply as counting fence posts or spaces. That is, one space has 2 fence posts.

    Fuel Auto Shutoff

    A lot would depend on how old the aftermarket Stromberg carbs are. I have had fewer problems with brass floats than with plastic foam floats in newer carbs. Of course, cars made this century probably don't have float carbs. Still, no one would design a car/pickup that would flood like that...

    Fuel Auto Shutoff

    As implied above, check the floats. If they are really old, they my not be doing their job. I had an old CH-5 Jeep (early 1980's) with a bad float. It would flood out at stop lights, if you didn't keep your foot on the accelerator. It does seem odd that all 3 floats would fail. It is...

    An Update On Tarrifs

    At noon (EDT), President Trump's DJIA $42,117 (up $863, 2.11%). It was up more than $1,000 earlier. NASDAQ up $619 (3.46%). How's your lemonade stand doing?

    applying solder paste from a jar

    I fill a small plastic syringe with solder paste.* The syringes I use are all plastic. The plunger tip is not rubber, but I am not sure that makes a difference. Generally, unless using a stencil, you will need to add a small amount of compatible liquid flux or other diluent. I use 99%...

    An Update On Tarrifs

    Try making a mature comment. Trump has done great in business, including the hospitality business, if that is what you consider a lemonade stand. Yes Surely you exaggerate. When you say "all" you are most likely referring to only the people you call experts and are willing to listen to...

    An Update On Tarrifs

    Stupid? Do you consider President Autopen smart? Simply, Trump realized that a $1.2 trillion/year trade deficit was fueling other economies, some of which were adversaries to the US and democracy (e.g., China), while our national debt was climbing out of control. He did more to control both in...

    Pairing HC-05 (or similar) with Mofii Master

    Update: I took a second look at a couple of the non-Arduino threads. The MCU for the slave device being paired (e.g., HC-05) seems simply to be echoing the master device. Update tomorrow.
