You have 60 seconds to defuse the bomb before it detonates. The problem is, the only information available is a logic diagram. You need to decode the logic to figure out which jumpers to cut. The initial inputs on the left of each logic gate are either a GROUND (0) or VCC-voltage (1). Follow the logic through and only cut the jumpers that are a logic=1. Good Luck!!
Lie-a-phone ... Need to call someone and tell them you will be late for a meeting? Now you have an alibi ... You are never alone with Lie-a-phone!
Build image maps from .gif pictures for people to click on various areas of your picture and jump to different links.
Hey old timers, remember the good old days when all we had for digital numbers were the vacuum tubes called "nixie" displays? Well, here they are in .gif form. Use these anyway you like. In this example, a clock. Or, use them on a webpage using Java ... Enjoy and Savor the Memories!
This is a simple PID loop simulator. Proportional, Integral, Derivative algorithm used in the manufacturing industry to control machine processes ... in this example, a water tank with PID loop level control. View the included instructions for more detail. This is for educational use to teach students how computers are used for controlling physical processes. It is simplistic, and models the basic PID algorithm to it's simplest form. You can use this for examples on using sliders, timers, and doing real-time graphing ... of course, you can also learn about PID loop control. Have Fun!
I've been asked several times how to print 1 line at-a-time to a dot-matrix line printer. The existing VB print daemon does the buffer thing and only supports page printing to an inkjet/laser printer. Here is the link I found at Microsoft that explains how to print 1 line at a time. http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q175/0/83.asp? Go to the website and cut/paste the code.
Run this at startup and it sits there waiting for an internet connection. When internet is connected, it silently FTP transfers a file from your hard-drive to your webspace folder on the internet (personal webpage). The source has good comments that explain each step. A good source for newbies wanting internet transfers. You will need to alter the sourcecode and create your own .exe file. For those that had problems downloading the zip file, here's another try ... this time I used Pkzip.
Here's a unique program ... Use Notepad to enter a set of test questions or a survey, click the button, and it makes it into an HTML (webpage), displays in your browser. Put the HTML into your webspace and have people take a test online. The results get emailed back to you. Be sure to open the example files included and see the read.me file. I hope someone finds this program very useful ... email me comments. Thanks
Allows you to create your own analog meters using MSpaint. These images become the meter face. Use the (analogmeter) subroutine to draw the hand (needle) automatically scaling the needle to the size of the Picture Box and position the needle to the engineering unit (value) you wish to display. Movement is smooth. You can also vary the needle width, color, and needle length. All of the meter attributes are sent to the subroutine with each update, allowing the needle color, (for example) to change as a value increases. Using the Picture1.Picture property, you can even load in a different meter face during runtime ... the meter needle and the meter face to not conflict with each other. No special ocx's or api's needed. All done with Picture1.Line property.
I was programming a Sharp Wizard OZxx Organizer using SDK-Basic ... There is no way to see ahead of time where the PSET, LINE, LOCATE commands will place the text and graphics. So I whipped-up this little emulator. I can now enter commands manually and see where they are on the Wizard LCD display, or cut and paste from the SDK editor. There are some limitations, but it sure helps for laying out the crappy LCD display. For you Sharp Wizard fans, try this out and see if it makes it any easier to program.
Here's something I needed in a hurry ... so I took a program from Sparq (create a calendar), a program from Patrick Moore (screenshot saver), and a program from Ian Ippolito (make wallpaper). I combined them to create a calendar for wallpaper that I can enter comments in for each day. The calendar is always there as my wallpaper ... thanks to those three authors, I didn't have to write them all myself. I won't miss any more appointments now.
"ctrix" is an old card-trick using VBCARDS.OCX (included). It has a good shuffle routine you can cut/paste into your own card apps. Not an original idea, but I thought it would be fun to see if I could create it myself. Have Fun!
