I'm going to make a demo one that i can take around and show people, then look at getting some circuit boards printed up for them :)

How i made it.

I take a 240vac to 5vdc transformer, power up a small microphone then run the output through an amplifier circuit and into my Microprocessor.

Inside the Microprocessor I've written some code to look at the shape of the voltage spike and determine if it's a clap or not.

If it sees a clap it starts a timer that waits for the second clap. If all the parameters are met eg, amplitude, frequency (sharpness) and time between claps, the Microprocessor switches a relay on which switches the light on...

All of this fits in behind the switch plate on the wall and there is an extra switch that houses the microphone.

The first Version of software started switching on the lights with coughing and laughing and stuff. But Version 2 seems rock solid so far!

Hopfully i can make them quickly and package them nicely for around fiddy bucks. depending if anyone actually wants one of course...

What do you mean by fixed lighting? Given that I can switch a relay with sounds waves, I'm pretty confident I can switch anything with just about anything :)

nvm, I think I answered my own question just after I asked it anyway :P

Is there a Marsupial in the House???

You Bet your ARSE!!!

Took us a few weeks to prove to the realestate that we had more than just mice in the ceiling, but there aint no doubt now! :nyaanyaa:

Little Bastard chewed a decent hole in the fascia board and punched through the air vent in the ceiling, leaving a bit of a trail and a small gift.

Moving house in a week so... Meh... Whatever.

Sure did! Webber got away clean.... then I started to worry cos you can only go backwards in placings from there lol.. wasn't sure he'd be able to keep it up till the end but he did YAY!

Can't believe I haven't seen a GIF of when he sprayed himself in the face with champers yet :D

I think he played it pretty safe, didn't risk trying to build a gap or anything, which to be honest is pointless because of the high chance of a safety car to spoil it, a very mature drive. BRING ON CANADA!

as for the gif, its only a matter of time!! lol.

Yeah, and I liked his little comment in the press conference about the team strategy, basically saying that if they'd ripped him off and somehow given Vettel the win "that's not what was supposed to happen" or something along those lines. I love how he's not afraid to say things, and he does it really subtly so it doesn't sound like he's bagging his team or team mate :laugh:

Oh and:

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
