whaa, need a bigger brain already.

 I do have a meter of sorts tbh, but it really is cheap and doesnt seem to read the same as anything else that can measure leky. But i suppose i ought to stick with it in case i blow it up, can get a decent one, once i've learned. :-)

 Trouble is i dont understand the numerous settings and the ones it shows seem to be layed out differantly to the more professional ones i've seen. See how it goes i suppose. Ill try and digest some of the link when i finish work, and no doubt ask some silly questions then. Ttfn and Cheers. :-)

Stick a picture up Chris I'm sure we can explain how to use the meter then.

Basic electrics (which is all a car/motorcycle consists of) is very easy (think "water" pipe analogy).
The difficult part for most is when you need to involve the math (that's when "water" pipe analogy isn't worth crap).

I'm more than happy to show you the world of electrickery, but you will need to be able to understand basic math before you start.

There's maths involved? Thats me breaked then

Ok, will do when i get home. Should give you a laugh if nothing else :-)

Bring it round, Chris. We'll see if it is reading right.

Yeah, lets play sparks. :-)

Ahh, well, if it's sparks you want...  [smiley=evil.gif]

And if you want to know the world of advanced electronics then you will need mega maths!

Happy to show you that

It will mean bog all to me in practical terms but would be interested in an example if you have one? Just to see how sacred i get....   


Re the meter pic, havent had a chance yet, will post soon as :-)

Sod maths, just solder some wires up, big drill here and there, bit of sticky tape, job done.

You'll like my clock then.



Kevin

That's excellent!

Which reminds me, we had something in the Physics lab, which I've long since forgotten what it was, but that had a display something similar. Each digit was a hairline thickness and were stacked up behind each other, so as they counted up they also moved in depth too  :-/ ..... if you see what I mean   
Electrickery has moved on a little in the last 30 odd years   

Actually it hasn't, its just that our ability to use and manufacture have as the laws of physis havn't changed. But in saying that I daresay the next bunch of really clever stuff is being invented in a lab in Oxford or Cambridge right now ,,,,,

Thinking back to engineering maths lectures at university (9 AM Monday morning, still hung over) it got very close once or twice. :-/

True! But you knew what I meant.

You'll need to define the word "Advanced" for me.
I do hold the 224 (Parts 1 & 2), and that did include digital electronics before most people had even heard the word.

Still, I'm always up for learning...so if you think I could benefit from your knowledge then let's organise a beer/smoke/toot/whatever.
