In consultation with the custodian, the New Series and Snakes Pyjamas gates within Bagshawe have now been converted by the Eldon to a Derbyshire Key system. At present a 36mm adjustable spanner is needed for the nuts. It is hoped that making access easier will encourage more trips to the area...

Can anyone describe the process of getting the firmware onto a freshly built board? Beat directed me to the readme, but it merely mentions using a discovery board to the debug pins... they aren't marked and I don't know if USB connects to them or not. Wondering of I need to temporarily add a...

Having jumped the gun buying a cheap X310 and, assuming they turn up, surplus bluetooth module, accelerometer and STM32, I'm now a bit committed on building a Disto board to make use of them (I know, I know :cry:. ) Currently trawling through the various suppliers, some components are easy to...

As per title - I'd like one with the rubber battery box, elastic in good nick...

Please can any of our electronics/digging experts help me on this? I'm informed that it is now possible to build such a pack (pelicase packed cells attached to a drill body by fly lead) using cheaper li-ion cells from the likes of deal extreme? I'd appreciate any help and advice, from a...

Very little use and hence very little wear/scratching etc. it's the black one with pink splashes, probably bought 3 years ago and kept dry ever since. I think it's been in p8 once and Eldon hole once. ?30 all in

Petzl Pantin left foot (black). I climbed out of Eldon Hole with it the day I bought it and haven't been on a rope since. ?35 all in

As above, tried once but not had cause to use since ?35 all in

As above, I am selling these items together, as a unit they have always been used together and for a grand total of <10 evening trips. (might even be <5) White helmet, perfect nick bar the usual scratches you'd expect from such low usage. Petzl Duo Fixo lamp - will include original reflector...

I can remember years ago stumbling across a site which gave a comprehensive list of ll the limestone dales in Derbyshire but I've long lost the bookmark. I can't find anything that fits the bill in Google, so just on the offchance, does anyone have a handy link or reference that gives the same...

Anyone need an invite? PM your gmail details if so and I'll see what I can do...

Bit of a long shot but thought it worth a shot - the wildlife garden at my daughter's school is out of action at the moment due the existing timber gate being rotten and dangerous - we need a serviceable farm style 5 bar field gate of approx 10ft in width to make good. Anyone got one knocking...

So what are folk using? I saw some stuff on Wookey's website earlier about a self built light with 2x P4 emitters in it, but couldn't work out if he meant the 'AA' bit just as a guide to the size of those 18650 li-ion batteries? I wouldn't mind putting somthing together, but, as per previous...

Since my FX-Ion 14 led light has started seeming a little less bright than it was, I put a multimeter on it to test the Voltage (at least that's what I think i did - set the dial to the '20' position on what I think is the AC voltage section) and it reads 3.85 (this is after a couple of short -...

I've got a pile of decking and spindles, and a bit of untreated rough sawn stuff too, if anyone can make use of it in a dig (probably Derbyshire / Sheffield based folk most accessible but anyone who can get it is welcome to take it away). Just PM me to sort out.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pics but Lathkill Dale was rather damp when we went for a walk there today - I've never seen the river so torrential, all the soughs were overflowing and joining the river at above the normal water level,  and the footpath was completely 'sumped' from just past the...

News just in - much as it pains me to put this in 'Idle Chat' - I'll be back on the radio tomorrow night with some rare and heavy funk.... Here's the press release from DJ Johnty Del Monte, in case anyone would care to turn on, tune in and get down.... :thumbsup...
