Maybe something on how to use a multimeter/voltmeter. Maybe something on wire stripping a techniques. I've been seeing cries for help about those things around here.
Don't have batteries for multimeter. I'll do wire stripping.

There's been something i was thinking about. For the LED mod on my screen, I shortened the wires so they were just enough to reach the next LED.

Just wodnering if you can strip a middle section of a wire, so that instead of going through the effort of soldering 2 wires silmotaneously so they dont fall off, I could instead solder 1 wire thats stripped in the middle.

Like this:

Code:
   Stripped \/
=====--------========

/\     Not stripped     /\

Yes, I'll spotlight that in Episode 4.

They look cool. :) It will hopefully be a good guide to those new to this.

Bad news, I got a bad cold so no new episodes for a while.

Kurt - I just did your segment. I doubled the video bitrate and made the audio bitrate bigger.

Tools needed for this guide:
Soldering iron - 20 watt

I think you should drop the "20 watt" part and just say "pencil-type" or something similar, because really anything between about 15 to 40 watts (or even higher for those who happen to have professional-grade soldering stations) will work for what we need. You don't want someone who already has a 30 watt pencil iron to go out and buy a 20 watt one just because you said that's what they need.

I'm done filming class 4, I have all the film edited, but I need a movie. I'm wanting suggestions. What filesize? 21 MB = 640 x 480, 9 MB = 320 x 240. I'm not sure, so you guys tell me what you're willing to download.

640*480 nut the bitrate is the most important.
