Budget/Refrigerator grow

[fluid69]

how much did they cost, and where did you get them?

[headshake]

yeah i got ya, smurph. i told you i was having a bad morning. sorry.

Sorry, forgot to answer that.

The socket was just over $2 plus tax. I got 4 of those, 4 splitters, a cheapo 15ft extension chord, and an $11 4-pack of lights all for about $40.

yeah i got ya, smurph. i told you i was having a bad morning. sorry.

No problem. I had to wake up and drive a half hour to take a music test at 8am... And I'm not a morning person. Nor do I completely understand 7th chords, but that's over now, and I think I did alright anyway...

[headshake]

a music test? sweet. i love music. okay, i can't say i would love the test.

how is everything working in the fridge now?

i got an electrical question for you smruph. i know jack squat about home electrical. if i have a 24" florescent tube light and it has a green, white and black wires (green is ground, white is hot, and black is neutral?) how do i wire that to a 2 wire plug? they were hardwired into the underside of someones desk.

what is neutral, exactly?

thanks for the potential help!

LOl shake black is hot, white is neutral ,green is ground.If you want to hook up an ungrounded outlet (not advised),then hook the white wire on left side black on right side and curl the ground WAY out of the way.(right an left are referd as if your looking at the face of the outlet).Or if your not using the outlet,only the wire's, then it's white-white black-black keep unused ground wire away from both.

thanks dive, that why i asked! i fixed avionics (comm/nav/weapons) on helos, but don't know shit about house wiring. all the wires on an aircraft are white!

i'll just wait to get some good lights. lol.

I don't like household wiring, AC, analog, or anything like that, but I just now got done with an analog class in school. And I generally know how to deal with it all.
We made two circuit boards. one has an LED and a microphone, we used transistors (what the course was mainly about), resistors, and capacitors to amplify what current our voices made the microphone output, and drive the LED. We used a photoresistor (the things on some outdoor lights that turn em on when it gets dark) to read that light, and used more transistors, resistors, and capacitors to drive an 8ohm speaker.
Getting just the right amount of feedback, and canceling all the noise was really tough.

When it comes to digital, I know what the hell's going on. I can design just about anything with logic gates.


And yeah, shake, Music theory test this morning at 8am.... hard to believe I'm still awake. haha.


I have two primary pieces to buy now, a timer (which won't really be needed till later, but I'm thinking about giving em 20/4 or 18/6) and even though I went back to lowe's, and home depot, I didn't walk out with a thermometer...

[headshake]

lol about the thermometer! i remember learning about logic gates. wow, that was a long time ago.

what the hell is the neutral for anyway?

Some call it neutral, some call it negative. In one way of looking at electron flow, you could say that it flows from a more negatively charged point to a more positively charged point.
