May 17, 201610 yr Hopefully before Kevin retires and buys a holiday house in Hawaii. (Referencing the DATA I/O F/S thread).
May 18, 201610 yr Hawaii, north of vegas, something like that. had enough of illinois budget woes, as in not plowing the streets in the winter more than every other day. The trick is making a 24 bit dac that actually meets the specs that some people out there quote. The rest is pretty easy. And the data i/o is heading to the recycler today. found a fool to take the metler as an antique show piece. Edited May 18, 201610 yr by kevin gilmore

May 18, 201610 yr How else are you going to do a multi bit dac? You need precision resistors and they won't be cheap. I'll find a nice house for Kevin here so he can spend the summers awake for 24 hrs. It's a month till the solstice and yet the sun barely sets...
May 18, 201610 yr birgir needs to post public pictures of his new house. I would kill for a view like that. (and free heat)
May 18, 201610 yr Well the heat isn't free but I pay about 1$ per 1m3 of 70°C water. Monthly use is about 100m3's but I'm probably running on the old estimate. We don't use this stuff sparingly at all, my entire driveway is heated and the walkway to the house. I just checked the electricity (as I plan to buy an electric car) and it costs 5cents per kWh. So filling up a Tesla is about 4$... It is a sharp learning curve for us to stay in countries without an abundance of clean energy. I'll post some pics later on...

May 19, 201610 yr Yeah, it is a large portion of our lives. Well it isn't as we don't let it control us but it's always there.
May 19, 201610 yr Hi Spritzer Do you have some super heavy duty wipers for your cars in Iceland? What is the price of a Tesla X there with all the options and do it have a built in KGSShv special ed amp option? I hope Kevin or yourself should design a stats amp for the Tesla if none is available
May 20, 201610 yr Would enjoy photo's of the view from Spritzer's porch-patio. Stacking up as (maybe?) sublime.
May 20, 201610 yr I think driving with headphones is illegal but yeah, I could cram an amp in there. There is no official reseller for Tesla here and the guy selling them is the scum of the earth so I' d buy directly from the factory. The view from the porch is pretty boring but there are some nice spots around the house. I'm about 200m from the see so far enough away...
