Business Directories – unsolicited entries

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Dave

I seem to be getting a number of requests by phone and email to confirm details for an entry on yet another internet business directory. I fell for this as the start, adding myself to a couple of directories, at the time they were respectable and small business advisers advised “claiming” your listing. Since then,…

Yuba – display woes

Posted on November 21, 2017November 21, 2017 by Dave

After just a couple of hundred kilometres, the main display unit described below stopped working correctly. It bega with it occasionally not switching on first time, needing a repeat try, and this gradually got worse until it was taking 6 or 7 tries to get it switched on. Eventually it reached the point where it…

Garage Door Opener – a tinier computer project

Posted on October 27, 2017October 1, 2020 by Dave

Despite the issues with bricking the device and it recovering itself in a random state, I decided to go with what I had rather than risk bricking it again. This caused a few issues, but I can live with them. Below are the steps and some notes about how things went.In the picture below is…

Garage Door opener – intermission

Posted on October 26, 2017October 27, 2017 by Dave

The last post about Garage Door openers detailed the building of the garage door opener, but blurs the time line of events a bit. Initially I got the opener working fine, and it worked well for a few days, but was a little flakey – nothing you could detail, it just reacted strangely at times,…

Garage door opener – tiny computer project

Posted on October 7, 2017April 9, 2020 by Dave

Recently we had two new garage doors installed, to replace very old clunky things. The new doors are sectional, insulated and have brand new automatic openers. They are draft free and the temperature in the workshop is a few degrees higher, and the noise level is a lot lower. With the doors came 4 key…

Yuba dashboard upgrade part 2

Posted on September 15, 2017September 15, 2017 by Dave

The new display panel has arrived, and was promptly fitted. Immediate thoughts were that it switched on and worked out of the box! Second thoughts were that the settings were also pretty good out of the box, with the exception of the top speed, which was set to 25kph. This is fine in those  countries…

Yuba dashboard upgrade

Posted on September 7, 2017September 7, 2017 by Dave

A few posts below I mentioned that the handlebar display panel was a fairly standard C963 display panel, branded as a Lekkie. It is based on the KM5S made by King-Meter. A quick review of its capabilities compared to what the KM5S manual contains shows that it is quite heavily customised. I am not sure…

Windows 7 – Windows 10 couldn’t upgrade error

Posted on August 25, 2017 by Dave

I get this occasionally on computers that weren’t upgraded during the free Windows 10 period. Every time you go into the update screen, the first thing that pops up is an error regarding the Windows 10 upgrade failing. At first I thought this was a recent error, but t seems it is just a hang…

Yuba – another ride in Kapiti with Lynn

Posted on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Dave

Having spent a hard week in the workshop, and most of Friday and Saturday digging a patch of clay over in the back garden, Lynn and I decided to have a trip out on Sunday. I wanted to show off my new found knowledge of the Kapiti cycle ways, so we put two bikes on…

Yuba – another go at the long ride.

Posted on July 10, 2017July 10, 2017 by Dave

So Tuesday 4th July, I took the car back to have the service and WOF finished (replacement radiator and steering rack bracket), and I put the bike on the back again. Same drill, set off from Kapiti Honda at about 8:00, on a slightly overcast morning, so no sun strike this ride. Rather than use…
