The mall I know has outlets in at least 2 of the 3 locations is De Prince...

Twitter only accommodates 160 characters so perhaps that post isn't representative of his entire proposition. I am sure if given the audience to air his full opinion, we can then determine if it's worthy of condemnation or not. Perhaps he drives a solar-powered car or other technologies but I for one would have liked to hear his full opinion before deciding he is worthy of listening to or not.

I think the next logical question to ask him would have been his solution to charging the batteries. If he replies gen or PHCN, then all these insults would have been logical. Now, we may never know cos he must be too pissed to even give an answer

We can design and fabricate professional PCBs for you such as the one below:



Check us at: www.jutronix.com

Hmmm... What's your lead time for delivery? Have used other prospects and they don't deliver on time because in the end, such professional boards are actually made from abroad (mostly China) and they may not have control over deliver time. Also, what is your minimum acceptable order?

BTW, Nice website!

As 9free said, download and try again. I have also downloaded same file as a trial and i was able to uncompress it as see in the screenshot below.
Most importantly, make sure you are using the right program to unpack the document. I used winrar to compress the file and you can get it on the internet.

@9free, hope you were able to download and extract the files

Hello guys! As promised, see download link for flowcode on 4shared: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Bdjzq_4Lba/Flowcode_Professional_437_Plus.html

Sorry guys that I have not contributed in a while - I am a working man . I am currently uploading the cracked Flowcode file on 4shared but the internet is a bit slow plus I didn't start on time today. I am sure you guys can get it tomorrow as I will announce it here once it is finished and you can download. I also bundled a book in the "rared" file which will definitely be a great help for everyone to start using this great programming tool. Please note that you need WINRAR to be able to decompress the file. WINRAR is available on the internet in case you don't have it. Follow the installation instruction in the folder and you should be good but if you still have problems installing it, let me know here.

You can now make PCB in Nigeria. You can visit Veecey electronics.com or call 08037441490. Our office is at 13 Mush in Road Isolo Lagos.

Can you upload a picture of a PCB these guys have made? I have seen several locally made PCBs but they just don't look professional enough for what I can use and like I said, I am using electronics commercially for my job so I can't afford to use substandard products. Will appreciate a picture.

@ Acorntree, flowcode's latest version is 6 and in truth, it does make your work easier. As for getting it, I will try and locate the link from where you can download a working version but if that fails, I would find a way of uploading it somewhere for you guys to download tomorrow. Flowcode is great and I use it officially for 80% of my commercial programming.
@9free, you can simulate and debug in a very interactive way with watch windows to see how your variables are changing based on each step in your code and an integrated simulator that is as close to real hardware as you can get. You can also embed C codes directly in your flowcharts which enables you to explore functions that cannot directly be handled by flowcode.

Hi Acorntree, 9free, Usisky and everybody. Nice job you all are doing here and I am especially happy for the knowledge transfer and to know several people are actually interested in embedded electronics. My contribution: For those looking to learn to program microcontroller but the daunting task of learning the language references and instruction sets for the specific microcontroller always puts them off, try FLOWCODE from Matrix Multimedia. Flowcode is a cross-platform language meaning you can program PICs, AVRs, ARMs, and even Arduino without really needing to learn a specific language like C or Basic. So long as you can logically think and represent your thoughts in a logical flowchart, you can be up and running within a few minutes! There are examples that can help kick start your learning and I can guarantee you that it is fun because it also has a software simulator included which helps you to see your program's behaviour in a simulated hardware environment. Try it out and if you have further enquiries, post it here as I am following the thread.

Is there anyone out there who has experience on the 2007 Jeep Patriot auto? It suddenly developed a faulty a few weeks ago and information from different sources I have contacted isn't that trusted. It sudenly refused to engage the gear and I am being told I have to replace the entire gear box. I would even be more comfortable if that was coming from someone who i know has experience in gears and much more this model

Is there a pickup point? No bank account payment please!

Please does anyone sell or have an idea where i can get a PCMCIA-to-serial adapter? I need one if it's available.

Thanks

The topic says "unchangeable facts not many knew about" You make it seem like we are committing crime or something on this thread! Most of the things earlier mentioned, did you know about them before now? Abeg, this thread exists to broaden our knowedge base! By the way, did you know that "American Airlines saved $40,000 in 1987 by eliminating one olive from each
salad served in First Class ". Yeah, , didn't think so!

@ wanajo, pumping777, crazyT, father of 2 ,

All you guys have been doing a great job on this thread. I have been following inconspicuously learning a lot from the grand masters. Just want y'all to know your contributions are highly appreciated.

More from me later.

@gidi1

Yes, Inverters are really very good. I have been dealing with them now for a decade. I have built several for many people. But i must tell you that if do not get the appropriate advice from somebody who is good and honest enough to tell you all it entails, you might end up wasting money without necessarily meeting up with your objective.

Basically, your load demand plays an important factor in the usage of inverters. Also, the availability of an alternative source to charge your batteries when they are down.

It is possible for you to rely on your inverter for up to 24hrs without NEPA but like i said, efficient energy management is required and i guess it's time we embraced that in Nigeria with the popularity of prepaid meters and all.

Inverters are available to much more than 500kva but before you dabble into it, get an advice from someone who is not just interested in selling to you but will do an appropriate evaluation based on the information you give him on your load demand.

Also, several brands are in the market. Very many only to take advantage of users who are not adequately informed about the required features of a good inverter especially in an environment like nigeria.

I have one at home and it surely saves me money on fuel and i dont get to miss out on important things i want to do simply because of "NO NEPA"

Mr Mystik, the topic says "unchangeable facts" and not "idiomatic expressions" or "quotes". How's knowing the feelings of a mad man a fact? Abi u don do am b4?

The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.

The "spot" on the 7-Up comes from its inventor who had red eyes. He was an

Donald Duck comics were banned from Finland because he doesn't wear pants.

It seems to be impossible to register from the dragnet website. how can one register with them especially since i heard some nairaland members claim they requested for 7.5k?

Hi guys, does anyone have an idea what the prospects are for someone who studies medical electronics and physics outside but especially in Nigeria

Got to download it. God bless you!

Brendo, you cannot just say your company needs technicians, engineers etc. Why not give ppl a feel of what they are about getting into by telling them specifically what your company does. Many ppl just gather other ppls info by means like this so give yourself some credibility and tell us what your company does and what particular category of ppl you are looking for

Hi guys! Anybody with an idea of the course contents for the MSc in Telecommunications, Power and Electronics? I am planning to take one of these but need to know the courses i would be taking to inform my decision on which to enter for.

paulomivi, can you actually substantiate that claim? if you were asked " What IS the name of Nigeria's President?" what would you reply? Obasanjo or Olusegun Obasanjo?

I think very many people make the mistake of saying "my names are" but i simply think a name can be compound but that doesn't make it plural. It could be a turn down for the interviewer or what do you think?

Haven't heard snything either. Anybody

Dat test was so somehow that i felt i was really rusty. Actually thought the lucky ones would have been called up by now! Anyway, good luck to the lucky ones!

God bless you for this opportunity. I have B-Eng in EEE

Hi thre all! I studied EEE Eng with B-Eng.
