Testing Your Power Supply With a Multimeter - Page 4

**TheMatt** · 04-07-2008, 06:11 PM

What happens if the images are too big for the photobucket hosting limit?

dai · 04-07-2008, 08:36 PM

you can get 5g here

**TheMatt** · 04-07-2008, 08:58 PM

OK, well I already have an account with Mediafire, so I will have the pictures uploaded tomorrow.

DonaldG · 04-08-2008, 05:37 AM

Alternatively you can email them direct to me & I can resize and stamp them for you...

**TheMatt** · 07-30-2008, 09:29 PM

Here are I believe all the necessary pictures (wow, had to use Bzip2 compression to get 'em all in).

They can be resized as necessary to reduce space/filesize.

When I have hosting links I will split the current article and repost it in two posts to accommodate all the pictures.

Thanks.

Matt
I cannot unzip 'em. Corrupted? I will PM you my email address - you can email them to me & I will onward process 'em ready for publication

**TheMatt** · 07-31-2008, 07:39 PM

Probably had something to do with me Bzip2-ing the images . I sent you the uncompressed JPEG images by email.

DonaldG · 08-01-2008, 02:04 AM

Nothing arrived Matt - check that you sent it to a ".co.uk" and not a ".com"

**TheMatt** · 08-01-2008, 09:06 AM

I used the email link you sent in your PM. I will resend the email tomorrow when I have access to Outlook.

DonaldG · 08-05-2008, 05:57 AM

OK Matt - Got the pics OK - they are now 'WIP' :Grin:

DonaldG · 08-05-2008, 09:05 AM

Hi Matt

I have resized the images to either 625px wide or 450px wide depending on orientation. The copyright stamp has been added also.

On one or two images I have added an arrow to indicate clearly, the wire in being discussed. EG:

All images are on Photobucket with the original file names you gave them. Insert the following image code into your article at the appropriate place, changing the jpg file name accordingly.

HTML Code:

[IMG]http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll140/tradiper/{your image file name}[/IMG]

ALTERNATIVELY: Put the image name in the appropriate place in square brackets and I will do the rest for you.

DonaldG · 08-05-2008, 09:19 AM

Side issue - TIP:

I read in one of your earlier posts in this thread that you had difficulty in ggetting the probe into header or tight spots.

I sorted out that problem by having a spare set of probe leads and soldering a needle on the tips at 45 degrees.

With care, you can 'probe' most surface mount stuff, even getting in between IC legs! (Even when the circuit is live!)

**TheMatt** · 08-05-2008, 01:10 PM

Added the ones that Don edited and uploaded. I remembered there are still some images on my digital cameras that I need to download to my computer and then email. I will get those ASAP.

DonaldG · 08-05-2008, 02:51 PM

Ok Matt, as & when BUT there are 21 images already and there is a maximum quantity of 25 per posting or Article. So only 4 more images.

I will quickly go through your article and 'space the images' a wee bit.

EDIT: images are in line now - looks better

DonaldG · 08-06-2008, 05:35 AM

Matt - a couple of suggestions:

Annotate the images like:

Fig 1. Blah blah blah.....

Also under section D3 you refer to the orange wire & first photo is of an orange wire, but the second photo is of a red wire. Is this an error or will annotation sort it out.

**TheMatt** · 08-06-2008, 12:45 PM

The last step in that section says to repeat steps to test the 5V (red wire). Thats why I included them there. It will be clearer when I annotate them.
