[Moony] thought that it was unconscionable that IR soldering stations sell for a few hundred Euros. After all, they’re nothing more than a glorified halogen lightbulb with a fancy IR-pass filter on them.

How To Install A Transgo Reprogramming Kit. Professional versions use 100 W 12 V DC bulbs, though, and that’s a lot of current. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it worked just fine. Holding the reflector-backed halogen spotlight bulb close to circuit boards allows one to pull BGAs and other ornery chips off after a few minutes. [Moony] reasons that the IR filter is a waste anyway, since the luminous efficiency of halogen lights is so low:. And that means 96.5% heat! But there’s still a lot of light streaming out into a very small area, so if you’re going to look at the board as you de-solder, you’re really going to need a pair of welding goggles.

Without, you’ll have a very hard time seeing your work at best, and might actually do long-term damage to your retinas. So the next time you’re feeling jealous of those rework factory workers with their fancy IR soldering stations, head on down to the hardware store, pick up a gooseneck lamp, a 100 W halogen spotlight, and some welding goggles. And maybe a fire brick. You really don’t want your desk going up in flames.

We love make-do hacks, but we love doing it right, too. Just watch [Bil Herd]. And then giggle as you do the same thing with a few-dollar halogen bulb. Posted in Tagged,,. Oh, for crying out loud! While we were all giddy reporting on yesterday’s, [Andrew Lim] of comes along and essentially does the same thing with an Magic handset and three dollars worth of Harbor Freight crap.

Linux kernel, WiFi, accelerometer, the whole nine yards. Consider our collective ass handed to us. Funny thing is, either of these could be considered The Consummate Hack. One flaunting the creator’s know-how with its custom-designed parts and delicate engineering, the other exhibiting a more flair with random scraps and off-the-shelf technology achieving much the same effect — a solution so obvious we were blind to it. Whatever your outlook, this is a great day to be a hacker!

Because of this, it’s a little more difficult to get a jump start when the headlights run down the battery. Not wanting to ask the neighbors for help, her husband [] decided to come up with his own solution. Rummaging through the parts on hand, [Richard] went with his old friend Sonic the Hedgehog. He used two 12-volt, 1 amp power adapters in parallel hooked up to a 12 volt, 3 amp power supply.

The end result is a 12-volt 5 amp source hooked to the car’s electrical system and used to get their road machine started. We have enjoyed some of [Richard’s] offerings in the past, such as and the but this is a bit less eloquent. A few questions do come to mind. First of all, is this the best way to use parts of your 20-year-old gaming system? How many amps does your average car starter pull down? And finally, what kind of issues are we looking at with the lead acid battery under these conditions?

Weigh in on the conversation in the comments. Posted in, Tagged,,,,. [pc486] sent in his hack that. Minimally, all that is needed is the AVR and a coil, but he recommends some filtering capacitors. Depending on the size of the coil, different frequencies and ranges can be achieved. This project actually includes several hacks, such as using the coil for not only power, but a clock signal.

The coil is actually able to power the chip without being connected to the power pins due to clamping diodes on the connected pins. The firmware is short but available on.
