It Begins...!

By
Hello everyone, welcome to my blog.

I thought of starting this blog for several reasons. Firstly, I like to think myself as an inventor. I like to research stuff and build new things. So, this will be a place where I can post the crazy things I try out, things that are successful and others that some people might call 'failures'.

Secondly, I usually get some ideas that I might not be able to try out at that moment, maybe due to lack of time, resources etc. so, they will be posted here so that me or someone else can test them out... someday.

And thirdly, this will be the place where I’ll share the knowledge that I gather from various places, such as books, internet etc. Things that'll make at least some of you to think....

So, basically this blog will be about my 'projects' and ideas on subjects I’m interested in, like Electronics, Programming, Computer Hardware, Robotics, Model Airplanes etc. I hope this will be a great place to share my experiences and I hope you'll enjoy them too.

I have had some experience on blogging in the past, but didn't really get the hang of it. Hopefully, this time it will be different. :)

    Welcome Timi! I love what you did with the background. :)

    Hey, this start up is really cool. Love your writing style of course nothing to say about the subject right? ;)

    One small suggestion though... I found it difficult to see the blog title, "Code 42" at once. It blends too much with the background in my opinion. The rest of the page design is really nice and smooth.

    It looks wonderful Timi. Now it is so clear. I read once that it is good practice to limit one post per page in your blog so that frequent readers won't be wasting most of their bandwidth on already read posts. When it takes longer to load, most people just skip over. I faced the same problem. Think about it. OK? :)

Selecting the Correct Gauge Wires for your RC Models

By
When we are building RC models (aircrafts, multicopters etc.), something we typically overlook is what type of wires to use to distribute power in them. Usually, we try to reduce the weight of the model, so we tend to go with smaller wires. But, we cant expect to put in small circuit-wires and have them handle the amount of power needed. If you look at the wires that comes in the output leads of a Li-Po, or the wires that comes on a standard XT Jack, you'll notice that they're quite huge. Large gauge wires on a Li-Po and XT connectors These need to be huge to handle the amount of amperage that goes through them. So, we should also consider the amperage, and the length of wire needed when selecting the size (gauge) of the wires.

What do the prop size numbers mean?

By
Have you been trying to shop for propellers - either online or at a hobby shop - and got confused of the numbering used to denote the size of the propellers? You see things like " 10 x 4.5 CW ", or " 8055 CCW ". What do these numbers mean? A 8 x 4.5 CW and CCW Propeller Set It's actually quite simple once you figure it out. The first number denotes the diameter of the prop (length from tip-to-tip). The second number denotes the pitch of the prop. Here, the pitch is denoted as a length, not a angle. Let's see how that works.

Make Your Own Jupmer Wires for Electronic Breadboard

By
Note: After starting the 'Tips and Tricks' section I wanted to do my own 'tutorial'. So, here's my first attempt of it. Hope you all find this useful, and sorry about the low quality of the photographs, my camera is just a 2MP. If you, like me, like to experiment with electronics, then you'd probably use an electronic breadboard (also known as protoboard or project-board). These allow you to construct and test circuits without the need to permanently soldering the components. The problem with these is that you have to use wires to connect the components across the bus lines. We normally use single core circuit wires for this purpose, but they tend to bend, break and get stuck in the breadboard when used repeatedly. This may cause short circuiting the bus lines and could be the failure of your circuit. A better option would be to buy a 'Breadboard Jumper Wire' kit, such as this. A Breadboard Jumper Wire Kit These have sets of wire of differ...
