Receiving a refund or store credit, I then purchased a MC3000 from Progressive RC for $99.95 with free US shipping. For an additional $15.00 purchased...

    Opus BT-3100 2.2 failed

    How long did you use the Opus charger before it stopped turning on. I take it you have already tested the power supply? If the seller isn't offering a reasonable solution for returning or replacing an item. I would open an eBay dispute, that the item received wasn't as described, is broken...

    I'm not up on the the Raspi or the Raspberry. Haven't used a handheld in quite a while. Use to have several handhelds using MS kernels. I've been thinking of getting a pod such as an iPod, etc. There are iPods running Linux. The Raspi runs a Linux OS (kernel)? You would be logging through a...

    Re: Data Explorer installation under Windows Vista Yes, Dex 64-bit under Vista x64 is now running ok. :thumbsup: (As you're probably already aware). Initially Dex searches for a connected device. If the MC3000 isn't turn on and connected to a USB port Dex produces an error message no USB...

    The lithium AA & AAA I purchased are Energizer non-rechargeable. (I do have some rechargeable NiMH) After looking into rechargeable Lithium AA and AAA I found the ones available to be too expensive, nearly ~40 dollars for a set of four and require a specialized charger. The method used to...

    Possibly a design flaw of Opus BT C3100 v2.2

    I have four NiMH batteries reading 1.28 - 1.30 volts. I'll first try a discharge refresh at 500 or 700 mA of three cycles to try to determine if there's any temperature problems. When first plugged in, while the charger is cold, the FAN starts out at a lower rpm and generally increases output...

    Re: Alternate Power adapters — MC3000 charger-analyzer I think I may have been incorrect about the ground pin size. After comparing more closely to a 5.5mm x 2.1mm connector it appears the IBM Laptop power supply connector is 5.5mm x 2.5mm. There is only a .4mm difference, I was able to insert...
