hello, i love robots and remote controlled things and have flown many of those cheap $20 planes and there fun and whatnot but they only fly for a few minutes and are very limited. I currently own a Hitec Laser 4, and 8ch receiver and 4 servos (standard size 2X 90 degree ones and 2X CR). i also have a few a few Ni-Mh batteries (8.4v and 9.6v) i want to start out with a plane that is like one i saw at a RC airfield, it was small, made of foam, flew slow and was able to do nose hangs and other fun stuff. And information or links would be helpful. also would i be able to use the receiver, batteries, or servos that i have or will i need new stuff?

Is there any way to add a folder of songs to iTunes without re adding an exact duplicate ? i have a large 2000 song folder i want to add but about 1500 of them are exact duplicates and i don't want to remove the old ones as they have all the play counts and ratings.

so my plan is to make an adjustable speed strobe, im just learning to code so i found a tutorial with some basics and some instructions to a strobe. the current code is

int potentiometer_pin = A0;

int led_pin = 7;

int on_time = 100;

int analog_value_multiplier = 15;

int strobe_delay = 0;

int minimum_delay = 500;

void setup() {

pinMode(led_pin, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

strobe_delay = minimum_delay + analogRead(potentiometer_pin) * analog_value_multiplier;

digitalWrite(led_pin, HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(on_time);

digitalWrite(led_pin, LOW);

delayMicroseconds(strobe_delay - on_time);

}

i have the LED + on digital 7 and the pot on analog 0, it is a 10K pot with one side hooked up to 5v+ and the other to ground. my problem is that the LED stays on and turning the pot just changes the brightness. any help on what to do? not just a new code but what to do, i want to actually learn how to fix this.

So the question is. Mel Tin sells half=gallon containers of frozen yogurt for $4 each and Gallon containers for $ each, One day Mel sells a total of 50 containers and made $290.

So far, the equation i have is 4X + 7Y = 290.

my problem is that i am unsure of the other half of the equation and what to do with the 50 containers to solve it.

Hello, I was thinking about becoming an electrician or other physical skill based job, i was wondering if anyone has any ideas about what path i should take. I was thinking possibly military first as that would give me a lot of experience and then try to become certified after or is it better to do an apprenticeship first, get certified, and then work for yourself or a company. Any advice would be helpful, not just in electrical work but in other jobs like a machinist, i am a very hands on and creative person

Im just looking for some good sounding headphones that look good and that wont break

So my sister is 13 has been doing things like locking her door everytime she uses her computer, also deletes her history EVERY time she uses her computer. If i try to say anything to her when her door is locked she starts yelling and also if I ever try to see or ask what she's doing she grunts and changes the topic. The reason I'm asking is that I don't want her to be talking to like a predator or something. Does anyone know if I should be worried?
