As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reached at which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beings will be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effective control. People won't be able to just turn the machines off, because they will be so dependent on them that turning them off would amount to suicide
sometimes I just freaking hate people. which means the next day I will love them for the sake of balance, but right now I will just concentrate on the hating. Hate hate hate. Blaaaarg! ;)

The cost of a PF automag classic vs a spyder with a regulator isn't all that much different. Cost of ownership over five years probably favors the 'mag.Originally posted by nerobro
Look at the cost of a spyder, versus that of a mag.

Yes, it all depends. However, with a large enough sampling I believe the cost of ownership will be lower. Two people just isn't a big enough sampling.Originally posted by PBpunk
hitech I wouldn?t be so sure about that I had a spyder for 3 years and it never failed me once and I never spent a cent to fix or upgrade it other that o-rings. on the other hand my brother has had a mag and he has had to buy power tube spacers and upgrades...so I mean it all depends

there is nothing wrong with the stacked tube blowback idea, there are some small problems that are a result of cutting corners to make a economy paintball gun though.

getting a webcam that can do 640x480@30frames/sec to get some video.
the electronics for the frame are all functional with the exception of the mosfet to controll the solenoid, i just don't have one that can handle the power laying around. that will be fixed when i make my weekley parts order. maby i will order from newark this week and spice things up.As society and the problems that face it become more and more complex and machines become more and more intelligent, people will let machines make more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones.

what ever happened? - did it work or what?Don't post if it has nothing to do with the subject eg, "safety glasses" - it just takes away from the discussion.Comment

thanks to the IAO and a few other projects that came up it's all still sitting there but I don't think anything new has been done on it in a day or so... I'm driving them to the IAO and have some room in the car... if he wants to pack the stuff and bring it with him I'll help em pack it up...The Living Embodiment of DeathComment

it all comes down to time and money. i currently blow about $200/month working on my side projects (digikey loves me). between the time it takes to work on the project, classes, my job, and a little fun. priorities start kicking in.Originally posted by kungfufita

(got a little over an hour of sleep last night, have time to crash early tonight and get some sleep)
i have a functioning circuit on a bread board, all except for the mosfet. picking up some mosfets that can handle 10A >=] (enroute from digikey), so that should work out. i hope to have a little time to throw something together before iao, but i haven't had free time to set up the webcam that i picked up yet.
also getting some microcontrollers with more bells and whistles so i can add some neat features to the frame.
picked up some parts to try out a new in circuit programmer for the frame, this one will generate the 12-14 volts necessary to program the controller using a voltage pump that it powered by the serial port itself. NO EXTERNAL POWER REQUIERD.
some parts for a dropin m3 warp interface

nerobro informed me that i would have a board ready for the IAO my package should be here today or tomorrow. if all ese fails, i can go over to the local parts mongers (www.crashelectronics.com and www.radioshack.com *shudder*).
either case, i will drop it on a piece of protoboard on sat.
