Hello, yesterday, I bought a PIC16F877A Microcontroller and This programmer. I also installed PicPro USB. I am using the serial to usb cable that came with it. The programmer has a location of  Port_#0001.Hub_#0009 in device manager. Now when I open PicPro USB and set it to  port 1, It gives me an error saying: There appears to be a problem accessing the COM port. I cant seem to find whats wrong. [Edit] I think that It is connected to port 24 (hence its name: Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COM24) ) and the problem with PicPro USB is that it can only have 1 digit port numbers, how do I fix that? Thanks.

I recently began experimenting with recording my guitar. I've tried plugging my guitar straight into the line in port of my laptop via a 1/4" cable and 1/4-1/8 adapter. I then record it in audacity with no added effects or gain or whatever. I liked it but it did not seem as good as it should have been. I tried connecting my guitar to my amplifier and connecting my amplifier via the headphone port and a 1/8" cable to the line in port. It sounded PERFECT except that there was a constant anoying string of static being recorded. I turned down the gain on my amp but then my laptop would not get a signal. I experimented with a bunch of different combonations of gain and volume but i cannot get rid of the static. I expect it's because my amp does not have any output other than the speakers or headphones. I'm just wondering if there is anything i can do other than get or borrow an amp with lower noise.

  Seems like the forum and the answers pages overlap in purpose.   Just wondering how people use them in different ways. 

This is a factory installed system with DVD, camera and another player for the rear seats. But the cd player won't eject and my grandchildren are up in arms. Can you help[?

Just need to get on it now ok

Now this may be a stupid question, but I was wondering how the animated portion of the instructables.com homepage was made.  It is very eye catching and I was just wondering how it was done.  

Hi, my name is Adam Solo. I'm new here at instructables.com, great site by the way, full of useful information. I also have a website about how to get things done. I will promote instructables.com by providing a link in my site to instructables.com. Cheers Adam Solo --------------------------------- Site: http://www.HowCanBeDone.com

One 12v dc motor connected with a battery and its shaft is connected to a dynamo,by using  the dynamo power we used to charge the battery and we can able to continue the process with out charging the battery using external power?why?

Hey gang! I only poke me head in here once in a while, so forgive my ignorace. The ability to view all steps of an instructable is a nice feature, but you always have to be signed in to make that happen. Multiple browsers at home as well as browsers on my mobile phone remember my credentials, but I find that even though I always check off that little Remember Me box, this site never, ever remembers me, and I'm always logging in manually. It's not so annoying when I'm at my computer, but when I'm at the shop and I only get 1.5 bars on Tmobile's Edge network, it's a good 5 to 10 minutes spent logging in every time I need to double check some minor detail. Is there anything I can do to log in and *really* stay logged in?

My goal is to share free information and tips on saving money on travel, camping and much more

What doest that mean , its been feautred or somthing

Hi every one, I have did a lot of searching on internet, and found lots of ways for control leds and eletric devices from computers. By LTP1, COM ports, and others most expensive ways, like using a usb->lpt1 true emulator to work ok on win7. I'm asking if anyone know how can I control pushbuttons and eletrical devices, from the computer using a easy and cheap way, it can be anything, microcontrollers, usb port. I prefer the cheapest one of course. But any advice will be great. If anyone need more details please just leave a message. Thank you.

Hi, I subscribed to the instructables.com newsletter for only a couple of days (with an email address I hardly use) and since that I received a bunch of spams in my mailbox ! Weird coincidence, isn't it ? Does instructables.com sell our email addresses ?!!! >-(

I found this new website for all you gamers and system builders out there that provides really good recommended system specs with price breakdowns and vendors! Now I can stop bugging my buddies each time I want to get a new system!http://recommendedspec.com

Why is it that I get an email with the instructable from... Instructables newsletter@instructables.com Then usually within the same day I get a duplicate message from Instructables newsletter@instructables.com via me-ss2-6zuaan.mailengine1.com The duplicated message shows up as BLANK from Google Gmail... unless I click on DETAILS... but then it is the exact same email I got from Instructables newsletter@instructables.com Why is that? And how do I stop it? It started a month or so ago... it's annoying. Thanks, Jerry

We have the option to flag comments as "not nice", "inappropriate", and "spam". Can we add another flag that reads, "the site is called 'instructables', not 'gobuyables.'" for all the comments where people say, "This is dumb. I could buy that at the dollar store."

It should be easily found by looking at their icon, right? The most I've seen is like 160 from randofo, but if you have seen more, please please please leave a post!

When loading pages or just reloading them it takes forever and a bit longer to finnish, that is if the loading actually finnishes. Everytime the site hangs at Pixel.quantserve.com which is getting a bit annoying after two days in a row. Also, when posting comments or such the bottom part where you upload images is messed up. The two lines reading Tip: Select multiple files using Ctrl (mac: Cmd) or Shift key. Is this uploader not working for you? Try the old uploader. Are priinted on top of each partially.

Here are the rules. The sniper must be your own and it must be rated over 3. They will be judged on range, pierceing, accuracy, and amount of pieces. I will need a judge or two for each. The winner will recieve 5* and will be on my Bect of Instructables 2008 instructable. If you want to enter post your sniper on the comment area.Enterants- DJ Radio's knex SPEC-9 sniper rifle T36 Long Range sniper by Darth Gecko Man Kakurito's DragonavJudges- Heat-Seeker Volenteer on the comments if you have a lot of pieces and free time to build.Range-Pierceing-Accuracy-Amount of Pieces (lower is better)-

Some time ago, I got into the habit of using Firefox to use Instructables.com because the layout worked better there than in IE. I went away from the site for awhile, then came back, and I thought you had gotten rid of the 5-star voting system. Then I viewed the page in IE while logged in, and I discovered that the stars are there. The attached image shows screenshots of the same URL (https://www.instructables.com/id/Grip-grip/) viewed in three different browsers.

Well. I have decided to retire from K'Nex on this website. I will still be an active member on Knexables (http://knexables.uuuq.com) and Knex Innovation (http://knexinnovation.net) but I have no longer got time for this website. I will still post some projects about music and guitar, but no more K'Nex. I simply don't have any time to pick up my K'Nex with my paper run and my guitar, and because I have exams in two weeks and then I have a massive project due, I may not get the chance to use it till about 6 weeks away. I WILL however do one last project before I leave here. I have got an Idea but I want some community suggestions. If it is possible, I will post an ible.Till then. ajleece

Hello fellow builders! i have been an ible's member for a while now... i am coming here today to offer up a cool item that i have been getting some good response about.i am a graphic designer trying to branch out... and make a living. I have a vinyl cutting machine .. been doing some custom guitar skins for guitar hero.I will cut vinyl for anything you could imagine, but these skins seemed to be pretty popular.What do you guys think? Comments welcome.here is a temporary page that shows what i do.If you are interested, please contact me and we can work out whatever you need.I can cut you something that NO ONE else has!!!![mailto: flea@toomanymorons.com]

After taking some time to get used to the new site design, I've decided that, overall, I like it a lot. It's cleaner and leaves more real estate on the page for the content when reading an Instructable. But. (you knew that was coming) When I read an instructable, I reach the bottom and usually want to go back to the Instructables homepage. This may not be the flow everyone follows when cruising the site, but it's what I do. The top banner scrolling away but leaving the 'ible info there as a "ribbon" is a neat trick, but I keep expecting to see a link to the homepage up there that will save me from having to scroll all the way back up to the top of the page. What i'd like to see is a "Jump to top" link, either at the very bottom of the Instructable, or in the "ribbon" where the title and voting, etc. reside. The "ribbon" would be slightly more useful, since I could click it when I reach the comments if I don't want to read them all. Again, it may just be me, and I'm not asking you to redesign the site just for me, but I find myself noticing it often enough that I thought it might affect other users as well. Thank you for all you do, editors!

Haney Ryhmä: WTI Crude klo pohjalukemissa, EU Probing Hinta sopiminen Haney ryhmä tarkkailee West Texas raa'asta hinnat laskivat alimmalle merkin lähes kaksi viikkoa, markkinoiden yleistä merkkejä tarvikkeita nousussa.

I have 3 guns under construction 2 of them are almost ready The first one is something that started as a mod of killerk's gun When I was trying to make a new frame for the mechanism so I could make it more powerful For the second gun I got the ideas from my killerk's mod But I left out some parts of the power mod And made a shotgun with 6 barrels The third gun is a little bit complexer and hard to describe I can tell that it has a removable magazine which can hold the bullets if it not in the gun Like a real magazine And that its a single shot gun, big gun, ... It was so complex that I broke the hole design a couple of weeks ago And I started building it again The gun is in the stage where I ended it the last time But now it is a lot stabler and smaller but still big

I was wondering if anyone on instructables played robot rage.

Could we get kipkay to join? That would be cool.

I have a pc running vista, with various simple photo editing software applications installed, including MS-Paint. I want to put text on a photograph I took of my cat so I can submit it to lolcats.com.

Why is that stupid drop down box for Classmate.com in my way when I try to search for anything? I can't make it go away easily; as there is no "x" box in the upper right corner; and it wont go away until- well I'm not sure how i got it to leave anymore. By the time that I got rid of it- I had forgotten my search query. Now, I would never use Classmate.com for anything, Ever!!!

ロスト·イン·トランスレーション I have taken it upon myself to translate one of my Instructables into Japanese. Has anyone else translated one of their 'ibles into another language? I would appreciate feedback (LINK). Here is my original Instructable (LINK). I used Google Translate and feel that I had a pretty good interpreter, please share your experiences here. Thank you, Tater. P.S. I plan on translating more, based on your positive feedback.

I'm using Windows 7 32 bit and Arduino 1.8.5. I saw that my computer recognized the UNO, but I can't select ANY COM ports in Arduino IDE. And yes, I've installed the driver for UNO. Does anybody can solve this problem? Thanks

Please help. I really appreciate it.

I am trying to load some code onto an Arduino Uno. So far I have tried checking to board to make sure it is is right one, unplugging and re-plugging, checking to be sure it's the right COM port (3 in my case), Pressing the restart button before, after, and during the uploading process, updating the FTDI drivers, re-installing the drivers, and re-installing the most recent Arduino software. I have tried pretty much everything I could find on Google when I googled the error. When I try to install the little orange L button blinks as well as the RX led. The green led is on, and resetting makes the L led blink some more. HELP!

How am I limited (or not limited) by using ATMega32u4 instead of ATMega328 with my Arduino? I want my sketch to perform a simple "echo" of a code it receives, does ATMega32u4 allow me to do this? Here is the datesheet of ATMega32u4:http://www.componentschip.com/details/Atmel/ATMEGA32U4.html
