It's not often that I post to these forums anymore but perhaps this post will make up for that a little bit. Sparkfun just posted their weekly new products video and I noticed that they have a 30amp Current Sensor for only $9.95 which I think you guys would get a bunch of use from. It opens up...

Dan, It has been a while... This was an excellent article. I hope you get out to the shows more often and give us more coverage. I like your review style.

I am using a Gigabyte GN-WI06N-RH and it has 3 spots for an antenna connection. I am only using one antenna at the moment. Can anyone here tell me how the 3 antenna connections differ from each other? I've read about other cards and they say one is a main antenna and another is an aux. I have...

I want to purchase one of those wire length counters for work. I'm looking for the one with a reel that you turn by hand and it has a little counter that tells you how many feet you have rolled up. For some reason I can not find one on google. Does it have another name other than Wire Length...

Our hackerspace is only 5 mintues from your sisters house. How often do you get over this way? Our normal meeting days are Wednesdays but I can open up the place if you happen to be in town a different day. Just make sure you give me plenty of heads up!

My kids are playing sports 5 days a week now and I am going to be missing NFL games all the time. I figured with broadcast being digital now that portable TVs can't be all that bad. However, I keep seeing ads for Portable HDTVs but when you read the specs none of them are actually HD. Does a...

http://www.cocoontech.com/portal/articles/...-to-rj-45-balun How do you put multiple signals on the same cable? Do only insert one pair into each rj45 connector? Dan, is there any way you could add the ability to ask questions and add comments at the bottom of these reviews?

I went with C-Bus although I have never used it. I have heard a lot of good things about it and I like that it can be Hardwired or Wireless. This is of course assuming that money is not a problem and my walls are wide open. If I had to do it again in my current situation I would probably still...

How-To videos would attract lots of attention.

I also would like to find a solution to this problem. I stoped using the chime because of this.

You are making me think way back.... If I recall I started my research for Home Automation using a search engine and then I came across a site called Home Automation Forum which lead me to HomeSeer. After purchasing HomeSeer I kept seeing this site called CocoonTech come up and everytime I got...
