Hi, under the hood the wizard now is quite finished. But as I'm not a native English speaker I need your help at improving the support texts given inside the wizard. They are, as Robert stated a bit to formal and stiff. I really would be glad if some of you could have a look at the wiki page , where you can edit the texts.
I just want to present my project I built as an own project in the electronics workshop hold at my university, that really has been quite interesting. Its a so called "Hot Wire Anemometer" (Airflow-meter).
Here you have the explanation as an excerpt of the project documentation:
Die Idee beim Hitzdrahtanemometer ist den Wärmeverlust an einem Glühfaden zu bestimmen und dadurch auf die Geschwindigkeit des kühlenden Luftstroms zu schließen. Um den Wärmeverlust messen zu können wird die Widerstand – Temperatur Abhängigkeit des Glühdraht benutzt um diesen auf einer konstanten Temperatur also Widerstand zu halten. Schließlich wird der dazu notwendige Strom, bzw der Spannungsabfall am Glühdraht gemessen, verstärkt und ausgewertet. Although we had a bunch of problems in the end everything worked very well and was a nice combination on analog and digital elements. As a hot wire we used a 6V light bulb where we took off the glass.
Again this is primarly a note to myself. I have a onboard PCI and an USB soundcard. This is how I set the order of the devices: sonium@raumstation:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base alias snd-card-0 snd-usb-audio alias snd-card-1 snd-intel8x0 options snd cards_limit=2 options snd-usb-audio index=0 vid=0x0763 pid=0x200f # change v(endro)id und p(roduct)id according to the output of lsusb options snd-intel8x0 index=1 # --snip-- sonium@raumstation:~$ cat /etc/modules snd-usb-audio #--snip-- Now hw(0,0) points to the usb card and hw(1,0) to the PCI card.
