Chip

Went on a fixing mission this weekend. Rehung doors, fixed broken kids stuff (new wood leg for their little chair), re-mounted sunken light switches and all sorts of stuff. I removed the Roman rings from the kids swing set and added a new swing – so the wood working gear got a workout – poor little router hasn't had a good run for months. I used some cable pull rope to hold up the swing with eye splices at each end – although I had to go and look up the eye splice again because I messed it up initially... On Friday I borrowed a bench top LCR meter to measure the resistance and inductance of the armature and field windings of the VW generator which is going to be converted to a traction motor. Only problem was I didn't go and get the generator! Here is a screen dump of the motor control circuit graph:
