Taking Stuff Apart: Oster Battery Charger

-
I came across a battery charger for some heavy duty animal shears.  The thing had a nice heft to it.  Inside there were a couple relays, a barrel jack, some big caps and a bunch of ICs which I haven't looked up the part numbers for.

After opening it up it was apparent the failure was a diode that somehow cracked in half.  There were magic smoke stains on the underside and everything.

Here it is, as always click the pictures for higher resolution and additional pictures:

XCode4: UITabBarController with UINavigationController using Interface Builder

-

If this helped you, please consider downloading my FREE  iPhone app " Hydrate Yourself "and leaving a review. There are a  whole   bunch  of  tutorials  to create a Navigation Controller inside a TabBarController with XCode3.  But there are a number of small changes in XCode4 which can trip up someone not familiar with them.  So this guide is essentially an updated version of those other guides, designed to create the same simple demo using the new tool. 1. Create a new Project We are going to start with a Tab Bar Application, so go ahead and create a new project as usual. I'm calling mine Navigation Tab Bar. 2. Select the Tab Bar Click MainWindow.xib and you should see the integrated Interface Builder. On the left is a section called Objects, select the Tab Bar Controller. 3. Add the Navigation Controller On the right side of your screen click the Utilities box. This is new in XCode4 and should look familiar if you've been using XCode3. At the bott

Taking Stuff Apart: Sony TC-800B Portable Reel-to-Reel Recorder

Today we have a Sony TC-800B to take apart. This is a portable Reel-to-Reel recorder is from the late 60's or very early 70's and is the same device that was used to record the watergate tapes . Unlike the TEAC 360S I took apart last week, this machine was very easy to take apart. The one I came across even had a carrying case, you might notice that the handle is crooked. This thing was somewhat busted up, if you look closely you can see through the window in the case that the plastic covering the reels is cracked too:

Using a JFileChooser to browse AWS S3

-
After a bit of searching I was unable to find an off the shelf solution to let me browse S3 with a JFileChooser . The closest I found was an S3 FileSystem implementation, but that doesn't seem to be used by JFileChooser. Instead you need a custom FileSystemView , which I implemented using minio as a simple client library. The code is not incredibly complicated so I wont explain it in detail. You can see that the custom S3FileSystemView is simply passed to JFileChooser to insert the S3 logic. The most interesting method is getFiles , that is where I decided to insert the buckets at the top level, so there is one switch which decides whether to call listBuckets or  listObjects . From that point my custom VirtualFile objects are carefully constructed so that the File class plays nicely with JFileChooser. The result from selecting a file is something like s3:/bucket/path/to/file.txt  which you will need to download yourself.  VirtualFile  could probably be extended to work lik
