The 2007 Alpine demo car is “eXperience”. The name represents the concept of Alpine´s expertise in iPod connectivity and most speedy transmission.
Featuring 6 PDX amplifiers, 2 Type-X subwoofers, 9 Type-X speakers, The PXA-H701 and the iDA-X001 (plus a lot more!), this high-end demo car showcases just how fantastic Alpine´s “Type X” products are.
One of the main highlights is the centre position for the driver, to enjoy the music at it´s best. The “eXperience” shows an elegant and sleekl designed demo car.
It took the Alpine installers 2 ½ months to create such an amazing demo car.

Random camera PCB I've been thinking about recently... I got a lot of these cameras broken from ebay a while back - Have been planning to reuse the sensors (they're rather nice, ~8mp-ish I think), but need to do some detective / reverse engineering work. Not something I have time for in the very near future.
I have no idea if they work yet, but I am pleasantly surprised to have gotten two.
Ordered from batchpcb.com. Easy, cheap, and fast!
Almost ready to test.
Input is 50V p-p AC from a wall wart. Output is ±1–24VDC (trimmer adjusted) regulated by a standard LM317/LM337 circuit.
Pins underneath meet the pair of rails on a standard breadboard.
Both regulator circuits were tested on the breadboard first, so I'm just looking for soldering and wiring errors. And I need to add the 2 x Cadj capacitors and one diode to feed the negative smoothing capacitor.
The Adafruit protoboard is only just big enough…

PARTS
• 2 or 3 12-position rotary switches (or 10-position, whatever you can get)
• 2 pin or banana jacks (to match your test leads)
• resistor assortment from 5 ohms to 1M or greater; gold bands (5% tolerance) are better than silver bands (10% tolerance).
• project box
INSTRUCTIONS
1- Get a box and drill holes for mounting two or three 12-position rotary switches. Drill holes also for the two jacks.
2- Mount the switches and the jacks; label switch positions with corresponding resistor values.
3- Follow this diagram and solder resistors directly to the lugs of the rotary switches.
NOTE: If you solder the resistors so their unsoldered leads extend the opposite direction of the switch's shaft, these leads can be gathered together and soldered at once, connected to the bus wire terminating in point "A".
• The first switch would provide the lowest resistance, the next would provide mid-range resistors, and the final switch would be wired to the resistors with the greatest resistance.
• As seen, the 12th lug of the depicted switch connects to the next switch in the array. Naturally, the final switch in the array would have its 12th lug connected to the final resistor in the matrix.
PANEL
To mark the panel for the resistor values:
1- Turn the mounted switches to position "1" (doesn't matter at all how you orient the switches, just turn them to their lowest resistor settings).
2- Place knobs loosely on shafts and turn their pointers to wherever you want "1" (your lowest resistor value) to be located around the dial (near top or bottom of dial, usually).
3- Once all pointers are angled to this position, tighten their set screws to keep them in place.
4- With your marker, put dots where the pointers point as you click them all around their orbits.
5- Label these dots with the corresponding resistor values. Position "12" can be marked with an arrow pointing to the next switch.
USAGE
1- Set all rotary switches to "12" for starting position. This will provide the greatest resistance available (this is safest on the circuit). Plug your test leads in.
2- Begin turning the LAST dial downward and observe the response of the circuit (LED brightness, audio output, circuit clocking - whatever you're after).
3- When you get to position "1" on this switch, turn the next rotary switch to position "11" to continue the resistance decrease, and so on until you reach the resistance value desired.
4- Observe the resistance the dial is pointing to; grab another resistor of the same value, and your green LED will never again scare you with that ember-like, off-yellow, over-voltage, "Seeya in LED Halvala" glow.

My solder joints are looking a lot better now that I have a good soldering iron (Weller 25W) and smaller solder (0.32mm versus 1mm).

Tough only goes so far. Don't drop the machine with a USB cable plugged in! Hint: The jack's not supposed to be lifted off the board like that.
I decided it needed some hot glue, to act as an insulator, otherwise it would be a pretty fragile little thing.

Revolutionary New USB Charging Device Set To Launch via
Crowdfunding Campaign.
Mobile devices to charge 400% faster than standard USB chargers.
Los Angeles, CA – July 7, 2015. USBeast Electronics has developed an on-the-go USB charging device that will change the way consumers charge their mobile phones, tablets, cameras and even the latest Macbook and Google Chromebooks. With the ability to utilize 2.1 amps of charging power, USBeast can charge a dead iPhone at least 6 times to a full charge without the use of a wall outlet and do so 4 times as fast.
Increased use of technology in all areas of our lives has highlighted an already nagging problem: Too many electronic devices and not enough charging capability. On site workers, outdoor enthusiasts and people living under the constant threat of a natural disaster are increasingly faced with the problem of finding adequate ways to charge their USB powered devices.
The USBeast solves that problem like no other USB charger on the market today. With millions of cordless power tools and camping accessories already sold, there’s an established mass market of people who can use their cordless tool batteries to charge their mobile devices. The USBeast utilizes many different brands and voltages of cordless tool batteries to simultaneously charge 2 mobile devices. For example, an iPhone and iPad can both go from 0% to fully charged at the same time, without the use of a wall outlet. There is no other charger on the planet with that capability.
After several prototypes, the USBeast design team has worked feverishly to approve the version which is now ready for mass production. The final USBeast design has been field tested and sold online in small quantities, receiving positive feedback from both consumers and testers alike. USBeast Electronics has a live crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter.com and pre-orders of the USBeast are now being taken! The company is also selling USBeast Brand merchandise to assist in generating the financial resources necessary to mass produce and bring the USBeast to market. When the funding goal of $15,000 is reached, USBeast Electronics will begin full scale manufacturing with the finished product proudly being made in the USA.
"We are committed to revolutionizing the way consumers charge their USB powered devices and dedicated to making this product a huge success,” says Jonathan Williams, founder of USBeast Electronics and The Artisans Studio. “We will strive to provide the best quality product and update our backers every step of the way.” Williams continues, “And provide the assurance that all USBeast orders will be shipped on time.”
This Kickstarter.com campaign will end on August 21, 2015
USBeast Electronics is on a mission to create the next generation of mobile electronic charging products for the current and next generation of mobile devices. For more information contact: or email sales@getusbeast.com.
