-- <<OVER-AND-OUT -- All'y'all- I have an application that I am not smart enough to (yet) figure out. I am hoping you can help me. My LEDs are buried so badly I cannot see them [printer lights] Now I could use a mirror and make a periscope, but that's very bulky. Does anyone have a solution that would involve converting it to a pulse that is sent down a circuit lead? Or maybe use fibreOptics so I can see the puppy?! Another thing is to convert it to an RF signal... Another thing is to control 5V(or so) versus GND. The last thing is to control 120VAC (using a MOC3010) probably. The final last thing is does it require using a uC (microcontroller) such as USB2.0 PICs? Any help will be greatly rewarded with some of my sweat equity. Next time (when the time is right), I intend to send a soliliquoy that I consider my "life's work". I want everyone to read it twice minimum. It has to do with a new project called the Phred project under the auspices of the pPodLinux O/S (developed using SuSE, of course) that I am writing. It will be brought to you by the new vTools (all of the pPod (C)opyright, (C)opyleft tools start with the letter 'v'. I need a Palm Pilot though before I can really get STARTED on it. Anyone know of the best place around here to get one? It's called the 'bliss manifesto.' However, in the interest of keeping this semi-soliliquoy SHORT, I will close now and leave you in complete mystery of what I'm getting at. Suffice it to say that it is too preliminary and that the suits have to fight over it a little more, and eventually there'll be a website on http://sntDelta.org. Don't worry. The money all goes to fight genocide and corruption all over the wold. Hope this entices you to at least "STAY TUNED". -- Party like it is 2006! --Prince will do this, I hope! .signature file contents: -- ##=====================## || SSS N N TTTTT || S. N.
