    Sand the area around hole with fine grit sandpaper and use flux, solder won't stick to a dirty surface.

    Smart control of gate lighting?

    This looks like it would work in your scenario without too much fuss, you would need a smart hub to control it though, it is not a standalone product like Wemo. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YTCZZF0?th=1

    Smart control of gate lighting?

    The Wemo switch should work well for you then, it would require re-wiring as they are designed for inside use to have something like a lamp plugged into them.

    Smart control of gate lighting?

    You shouldn't have too much trouble then as long as you could place the smart hub near that area. The range of Z-wave devices is supposed to be 100m. How are the lights controlled, do you have a switch for them? Most of the z-wave switches are designed for more interactive situations, in-wall...

    Smart control of gate lighting?

    How far is the gate from your home? I have a SmartThings hub and some devices that I have been very happy with.

    Electrical timer that does duty cycling?

    They're a little pricey, but a Belkin Wemo smart switch could do this. You can create time based on/off rules with the smartphone control app.

    RC boats

    FWIW, I found that I liked to have a few more moderate chargers than to have 1 super capacity charger. I like being able to charge multiple batteries at once without having to worry about using a parallel board. I second the hobby king suggestion, they have some decent chargers at a good price...

    RC boats

    I like my HPI Savage XS, it's a blast. I bought the kit and built mine. It's small and fast when paired with a 3s lipo. It's 4WD so it's good for off-road but it's also got enough power to tear around on road when you get the speed bug.

    RC boats

    I like the proboat stuff, Ive owned three of them myself. If you're worried about tipping, you can get the recoil 17, it's a self righting model. Though, you'll be hard pressed to tip it, I turn as hard as I can full throttle and the thing doesn't flip. It's a little small tho, not sure if you...

    ISO Electronics Guru

    I'm not an electronics guru, but this seems like a job for a cheapo ebay DC-DC converter (aka buck/boost converter). Seeing as the toy runs off of two batteries it should be running on very low current so the buck/boost converter should have no trouble in this application.

    PS4 Cloud Saves question

    Is anyone here familiar with how the PS4 cloud save feature works across multiple ps4 systems? I have my own PS4 but I regularly play games at a friends house on his PS4 as well. I impulse bought a PS+ subscription while I was logged into my friends PS4. I can see all of my cloud saves from...

    What's the most cash you ever had on you?

    Cash transactions of $10,000 or more require a bank to fill out and file a Currency Transaction Report for the transaction. The questions were to get information to aid the filing of that report. You could have avoided the questions, and been much safer, by drawing a cashiers check from one bank...

    Raspberry Pi/Raspbmc youtoube addon

    I just got a raspberry pi and installed RaspBMC on it. So far it has been simple to use. I got a wireless adapter and FLIRC receiver for it. Got those two items up and running no problems. I hooked up the iOS xmbc remote app to control it from my phone. I saw/read there is a Youtube addon for...

    Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Or, maybe other people are just better at following the show's multiple storylines and subtleties/nuance. Your constant decrying of every tidbit as a spoiler is incredibly annoying.

    Vitamix Vs. Blendtec for smoothies?

    I did that with my Blendtec and used, possibly, just a bit more soap than 1 drop. That shit foamed up so fast and shot out the top, despite me holding the cover on, and went all over the kitchen. It looked like a bad accident at a porn shoot :(

    your state sucks!

    Completely OT to this thread, but what is up with all of the vehicle accident deaths on that list? Are they playing bumper cars with hummers or something over there? There's many, many other non-hostile accidental deaths as well.

    What are some of your favorite artists/paintings?

    The only painting that has ever made me stop and think "Hey, that's an image that I would like to see again sometime..." is Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring'.

    how are some people so bad at cooking?

    Most baking fail comes from the overly pervasive practice of measuring flour and other such compressible ingredients volumetrically. If I see a recipe call for cups of flour or powdered/brown sugar it gets trash-canned. Kitchen scales are cheap and easy to use, there is no excuse to not have...

    FF12: is there a good method to manage equipment upgrades?

    If I recall correctly, this is the one where you can, with the correct party and equipment, just tape the buttons down and have the system auto-fight battles. I seem to recall reading it online and doing it myself. I just let it overnight once or twice and boom, max level while I slept. It's...

    What a bunch of morons

    Not that this an excuse for what happened, but I don't think the video shows it well. It went from normal winter driving, with light snow flurries, to almost whiteout conditions in like a minute. That's what started it all off and why you see people coming up on the scene unaware. They were...

    What a bunch of morons

    I missed being in that mess by about 10 minutes. I got to sit on the highway for almost three hours thanks to that mess. Was interesting watching the traffic cams on my phone, I would see the ambulances drive by me on the side of the road and then about 35 seconds later, they would show up at...

    MPAA can kiss my internet service provider

    Yea, I forgot how easy it is to gather connection data for a given access point and then use that to spoof MAC addresses. The info about WPS still stands, however, that should always be disabled on your router if the firmware supports it.

    MPAA can kiss my internet service provider

    Check if your router has Wifi Protected Setup (WPS) enabled. It's incredibly easy to crack even then best secured WPA2 router if you leave WPS enabled. I know you said you turned on MAC filtering and that would negate the WPS attack vector, but it doesn't hurt to turn it off anyway.

    Ideas for designing a cheap, modular home that'll pay for itself w/multiple renters.

    I would absolutely never rent anything even remotely close to what you are describing. I like to bake and have many expensive kitchen accessories. I would have to sit in the kitchen and babysit everything while I was preparing everything and also haul all my gear into and then out of the kitchen...

    Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii

    I didn't really get into it, but ability combos become important later in the game, especially for the powerful special bosses. So the 'easy' feeling combat does become a bit more complex in the later stages of the game. I agree tho, the combat does feel somewhat automated, and when you start...

    Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii

    Ive played it through to the end. IMO, its one of the better RPGs that has been release in the past few years. The story is a little weak, but the overall gameplay is fun. It doesnt try and get too complicated, which is a trap many modern RPGs fall into. I dont really want to spend hours...

    Good beginner electric R/C hobby car

    Do you have any links to the websites for tracks in your area? Without knowing what race classes are in your area, its hard to answer some of these questions. A word on the Rustler, with the wheels exposed as they are, they tend to break more. I don't know how you will or want to drive, but...

    Good beginner electric R/C hobby car

    If you want to race, you may be able to do it cheaply. I don't know how the racing scene is in your area, but around me, short course truck racing is quite popular. Local tracks here have both a stock Slash (Traxxas SCT) and a stock 2WD SCT class. Since these are stock classes, especially the...

    Good beginner electric R/C hobby car

    I believe all Traxxas vehicles have the beginner mode where the throttle is cut to 50%. I have not seen this option in any other brand ESC, but I have not had tons of experience with other brands yet. (edit: Actually, I take that back, I forgot some of the higher end Traxxas cars come with...

    iOS app to schedule on/off of ringer

    Android fanboism aside, I found this app which does exactly what I need and more: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/autosilent/id474777148?mt=8 . I have an Asus Transformer Prime, I like to learn as many platforms as I can.

    iOS app to schedule on/off of ringer

    Ok, so I find myself lately forgetting to turn my phone ringer back on after I get home from work. This is a problem for me because I am expected to answer emergency calls at home should something blow up. I have missed two or three such calls in the last month or so because I cant remember to...

    Asus Eee Android Tablet Confirmed $399 April 26th Release

    Asus Eee Android Tablet Confirmed $399 April 26th Release

    I have the dock, right now, its pretty much a 150$ paperweight. It has multiple bugs that make it pretty much unusable. It will randomly lock up, requiring that you disconnect and reconnct the dock to make the table recognize it again. It will also randomly shut off/crash the wireless service...

    Asus Eee Android Tablet Confirmed $399 April 26th Release

    I have little to no experience with other tablets, so I cant really comment on the quality of one screen versus another.

    Asus Eee Android Tablet Confirmed $399 April 26th Release

    The screen feels pretty good to me, there is a small amount of interface lag, but im hoping that improves with OS updates. No dock yet, I havent been able to find one, supposed to be in stock locally here on May 2nd. Im ripping a DVD to 1280x800 right now, that will be the first local video I...
