![]() ![]() The main advantage of opto-couplers is their high electrical isolation between the input and output terminals allowing relatively small digital signals to control much large AC voltages, currents and power.Īn optocoupler can be used with both DC and AC signals with optocouplers utilizing a SCR (thyristor) or triac as the photo-detecting device are primarily designed for AC power-control applications. Optocouplers and Opto-isolators are great electronic devices that allow devices such as power transistors and triacs to be controlled from a PC’s output port, digital switch or from a low voltage data signal such as that from a logic gate. Also unlike a thyristor (SCR), a triac is capable of conducting in both halves of the mains AC cycle with zero-crossing detection allowing the load to receive full power without the heavy inrush currents when switching inductive loads. This type of optocoupler configuration forms the basis of a very simple solid state relay application which can be used to control any AC mains powered load such as lamps and motors. Optocouplers and opto-isolators can be used on their own, or to switch a range of other larger electronic devices such as transistors and triacs providing the required electrical isolation between a lower voltage control signal, for example one from an Arduino or micro-controller, and a much higher voltage or mains current output signal. Obviously, tubing with a reflective inner would be more efficient than dark black tubing. The advantage of this home-made optocoupler is that tubing can be cut to any length you want and even bent around corners. An Led and a photo-transistor are inserted into a rigid plastic tube or encased in heat-shrinkable tubing as shown. ![]() Simple home made opto-couplers can be constructed by using individual components. ![]() There are many other kinds of source-sensor combinations, such as LED-photodiode, LED-LASER, lamp-photoresistor pairs, reflective and slotted optocouplers. The photo-transistor and photo-darlington devices are mainly for use in DC circuits while the photo-SCR and photo-triac allow AC powered circuits to be controlled. The four optocouplers are called the: Photo-transistor, Photo-darlington, Photo-SCR and Photo-triac as shown below. Optocouplers are available in four general types, each one having an infra-red LED source but with different photo-sensitive devices. Since there is no direct electrical connection between the input and output of an optocoupler, electrical isolation up to 10kV is achieved. The spectral response of the LED and the photo-sensitive device are closely matched being separated by a transparent medium such as glass, plastic or air. The photo-transistor can be used to switch current in the output circuit. When the current flowing through the LED is interrupted, the infra-red emitted light is cut-off, causing the photo-transistor to cease conducting. The base connection of the photo-transistor can be left open (unconnected) for maximum sensitivity to the LEDs infra-red light energy or connected to ground via a suitable external high value resistor to control the switching sensitivity making it more stable and resistant to false triggering by external electrical noise or voltage transients.

It just makes assumptions like Accelerate = Up, Brake = Down, Handbrake = Back and Upshift = Confirm (I'm sure that's not exactly correct, but you get the point). There's no way to set up separate keybindings for the menu navigation. It's a fun game, but the menu controls are annoying. ![]() Especially sorting through piles of items. I think I will go back to them someday, but the interface still scares me away. The only advantage to tank controls I could see is maybe for more accurate shooting mechanics, as dual-analog controllers weren't a thing yet, but surely someone could've figured out lock-on targeting before Ocarina of Time came out. □ Who in their right mind thought that THAT was a good idea? Super Mario 64 came out in mid 1996, and it was one of the first 3D 3rd-person games to NOT have tank controls, so there was really no excuse for developers to continue using tank controls after that point. System Shock is one I still haven't played, but I could probably get used to the control scheme for it. As for Incoming, I remember it being a little bit hard to control, but I had a lot of fun playing it with a flightstick when I was younger. They are a bit slow, but it's easy enough to set things up in a modified WASD configuration, and I would definitely say I prefer this setup to the default controls. I don't actually mind the mouse controls for Descent II. I will never understand why the programmers crippled their game this way, were they really that uncertain of the calibration of the dualshock controllers? Reply 41 of 68, by tincup In Gran Turismo 2 the deadzone was maybe 25%, still way too much but at least more manageable. Gran Turismo gave me a lot of headaches with its analog controls as it has something like a 50% deadzone for steering, using digital controls was better but killed most of the fun for driving. ![]() The Descent games I preferred to use a joystick where I use one hand on the keyboard and one on the joystick, I didn't use the throttle but use WASD for forward and strafe and use the joystick for rotate. ![]() Terranova: Strike Force Centauri largely uses the same controlscheme, it isn't really that different than mech games of the day.Ĭrusader: No Remorse/Regret didn't have the best controls but I thought that if I set Numlock to rotate I could control my character well enough, with Shift to rotate faster, I had a lot of fun playing these games. In my oppinion the default controls make you play more prepared and it works this way but I guess most people aren't willing to give it a try and are modding it with mouse aim which makes the game a laughable easy sealclubbing simulator which contrasts the dark atmosphere it tries to create. I always thought System Shock had adequate controls, the thing is most people want to play it like they play Doom and run and gun everything in sight. ![]() ![]() Either way, Bestway should be your go-to if you want a low-fuss inflatable pool for adults that you’ll want to keep around for next summer.īuy Bestway Fast Ground Pool Set $161.86 2. At 13 feet x 33 inches, it’s got enough room for a family to swim around comfortably, or for one adult to lounge out completely. When you’re done for the season (or just the day), just attach a hose to the pool’s drain valve and drain away all the water fast. This pool set also comes with a unique 530 gallon filter pump and filter cartridge, so it’ll stay clean for real instead of just “hose the dirt off” clean. It’s made from a durable, yet lightweight PVC material that’s tear-resistant, and won’t fade from UV sun exposure, making it last for years to come. Well, unlike other inflatable pools, which are meant for a few days here and there over the summer, this is a pool that’s really built to last. You only need set it on level ground to start the assembly, an air pump (not included) will inflate the pool in less than 10 minutes, and it’ll only take an hour to fill up with water. The speed and ease of setup for Bestway’s inflatable pool is the main selling point here, but it’s the little touches that take it over the end to being just a truly great pool, full-stop. Just slather on the sunscreen, crank some tunes on your speakers ( waterproof, please) and get to lounging. These pools are great for splashing around in the comfort of your home, for less than the price of a seasonal beach pass - no travel necessary, either. You may not be able to practice your laps or kick back on a full-sized pool float, but you’ll still be able to keep cool as the temperatures rise. The best inflatable pools hit the sweet spot of being quick to set up and quick to take down, so you can relax without the fuss. If you’re looking for a simple way to chill out fast, allow me to present: the inflatable pool. But not all of us have the space (nor the dough) to install an in-ground pool, and above-ground pools can be a nightmare to set up and maintain. Unless you want to spend the whole summer cranking up the AC and running your electric bill, or schlepping a bunch of gear to the beach, you’re going to want to consider a pool. ![]() If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission. ![]() Once you’ve cleaned out unwanted pieces, make sure to swing by Kmart and Big W to discover how their range of new season home wares can help give your wardrobe a refresh and better organise your bedroom.

"Like all octopuses, it is venomous, but like most, it is harmless to humans, with the venoms dramatically more potent on invertebrates like clams and lobster," he said. Lance Karlsonĭespite the shock of Karlson's attack, Bryan Fry, an associate professor at the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Queensland, told CNN that octopuses generally don't pose a risk to humans. Lance Karlson is now completely fine following his octopus encounter.
