charging battery while under load Why not stop drawing from the batteries, charge them and power the circuit from the external power that you are applying? |

What is the polarity of a car cigarette lighter adapter? A voltmeter is a handy tool. Pick a decent one up for $5 from Amazon. |

Automating the measurement of current consumption of an embedded system Is this something just for final testing, or meant to be used and checking during operation of the end device? |

How do I solder headers so that they always stand straight up? Great idea! I can see it breaking down on larger boards that would have headers on the outside unfortunately. Still hard to keep everything straight when the weight of the PCB is throwing things off. |

Identify component in old West German flip clock Trace its connections, whats it going to? That will likely provide a large insight in to what the part is. It looks like a transformer of some kind. |

What is going on with these SPI transmissions? Enable lines are not always used as a CS line in the traditional sense. In the case of some ADC devices the "enable" line is to tell the device to perform a conversion, then after the conversion is done the host just clocks in data from the slave. Im sure this has been done plenty of times before. I would look around the internet and see what other people have to say about the protocol used here. |

KiCAD vs gEDA vs other open source CAD? Not necessarily a duplicate, but you should do a little more research first. Check out this question: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/21172/… |

Is there a standard In Circuit programming connector for LPC chips? @WoutervanOoijen, I use vim and have all of the tools set up to run via command line. My board is a bit bigger but it should work just the same. In past when I have done small projects like that I made the programming pins come out to largish pads, and then rig up a custom jig to connect those up via spring loaded pins and hold it in place. I don't really know of any off the shelf solutions for a "common/standard" connector to connect to your PCB. |

Possible causes for 7-segment LED flicker +1 for all around. I also never knew that refreshing them out of order can reduce flicker, good piece of trivia. A quick google search didn't really return any information to that fact. Do you have a link/reference that explains that phenomenon? I am curious about the reason that the brain would behave that way. |

LED Voltage Drop in Series @Rocketmagnet, yes, I do think those look in parallel as well. |

How do I make fading lights? I don't know of any lights specifically that will auto-fade like you are asking. But I can point you in a direction that might help. Many of the major "stage light" manufacturers use DMX, which uses RS485 as its physical layer. This is actually very common and can easily be done with a simple microcontroller. |

Protected USB connectors? "nema rated" and "IP rated" are also good search terms |

Can a Micro handle torrent downloading? Yes, its possible, you even mentioned you've seen something like it before. This is quite a generic question. |
