Stuff. Just stuff. Anything goes.
This absolutely has to be the most convenient, well-timed thing on the planet.
MIT has a program known as “UROP” – Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program – which allowes undergrads to do research and such when it is usually reserved for graduate students.
Here’s a posting I found today.
Though granted that the technology will be a slight tiny bit more sophisticated than dear Snuffles, and probably infinitely more controllable, I think I may have a good head start…
So I got the battery charger today. In typical Chinese engineering fashion, it has no documentation and inconsistent parts and features.
I’m not sure if I’ll ever understand what the heck it’s doing, and just take its little flashing lights for face value.
It also comes with two fuses, but with no fuse holder or any other visible sign of a fuse. It also seems to be ultrasonic-welded together, with no screws, so if I ever have to replace a fuse, I seem to need a sledgehammer.
Here’s hoping it works and never breaks (yeah right). I will not hesitate in sledgehammering it open at the first sign of trouble.
