Berg (a Nobel laureate biochemist at Stanford University) and Singer (a former president of the Carnegie Institution of Washington), are thoroughly acquainted with Beadle's work and its place in the history of genetics. Not only do they tell us a lot, both scientific and personal, about Beadle, but they set the stage by describing his associates and their work. The authors have done their homework, reading the old literature and conducting hours of interviews. The result is a full, accurate, authoritative, and balanced biography. And their writing is splendid as well. . . . One of the delights of Berg and Singer's informative biography is their vivid portrayal of the real Beadle.
The book tells us in detail about Beadle's two marriages, the salaries he earned (but not their equivalent values today), his journeys by ship and by train, and the fact that he succumbed to Alzheimer's disease. There is plenty here for everyone. Those interested in the history of genetics will want to read the whole book, but today's students would benefit from just a few chapters.
Berg and Singer's biography of Beadle is authoritative and complete, in that it covers in considerable detail both scientific and personal aspects of the life of this remarkable (in my view, almost uniquely appealing) biologistadministrator.
Nature Genetics
. . . a meticulously investigated, historically contextualized and finely written biography of one of the central figures of 20th century genetics.
American Scientist
Excellent biographies of scientists are rare. Those written by nonscientists often omit the major scientific work and focus on the personality of the scientist and the importance of their work. Those biographies written by scientists often bury readers in technical details that only specialists can appreciate, and all too often the personality of the scientist is missing. Fortunately, both Paul Berg and Maxine Singer have avoided these two pitfalls. Their biography of George Wells Beadle is a magnificent effort of good writing, good insights, and a comprehensive account of the life and work of one of the greatest geneticists of the 20th century....For those who enjoy learning how great ideas arise and get transformed, who want to see how the science of one's time constrains the interpretations, and how highly motivated and talented investigators succeed in solving problems, this book will be richly rewarding.
The Quarterly Review of Biology
Paul Berg and Maxine Singer, both distinguished senior scientists, aim to restore [Beadle] to life in part to acquaint younger scientists with their forebears, not only Beadle but also his generation of geneticists. They have succeeded handsomely in this deeply researched and lucidly written biography, a work that historians as well as scientists will find informative and compelling....
Berg and Singer's Beadle is deeply and broadly researched, exploiting several rich manuscript sources, including the Beadle Papers at Caltech and the records of the Rockefeller Foundation (from which Beadle long received support). It also draws on original scientific papers, interviews, memoirs, and the relevant secondary literature in the history of classical and molecular genetics. Although it lacks a bibliography, its sources are readily obtained form the extensive notes. It is bound to stand as the definitive biography of its subject.

Melbourne Rebels coach Tony McGahan has lamented his side's failure to cope with a late momentum shift after the Lions came from behind for a 34-17 win in South Africa on Saturday morning (AEST).
The Rebels were leading 17-14 with 25 minutes to play before the fast-finishing Lions scored two tries and two penalty goals to close out the Super Rugby match.
"We fought back after a poor start and showed a lot of belief in each other," McGahan said.
"Unfortunately there was a big momentum shift and we couldn't turn it around."
McGahan played down suggestions the Rebels struggled in the final quarter due to their inexperience playing at the altitude of Johannesburg's Ellis Park Stadium.
"We don't have any excuses about altitude or playing away from home, we have had a great preparation," he said.
"We just weren't able to grab that momentum at the end.
"We turned the ball over and they took it 90 metres, and from there we weren't able to get it back where we needed it."
The Rebels' fourth straight loss puts them in prime wooden spoon territory ahead of next weekend's last-round clash against the Bulls.
The visitors had their chances, however, with captain Scott Higginbotham twice bundled into touch while reaching out to score.
His night only got worse in the 70th minute when he was given a yellow card for a tip tackle on Willie Britz.
The Lions were extremely successful at pressuring the Rebels at the breakdown and stalling their momentum.
Young Rebels fullback Jack Debreczeni started nervously in his second game taking over from Jason Woodward, making a couple of mistakes and missing an absolute sitter of a penalty goal from almost directly in front.
Lions sharpshooter Marnitz Boshoff, on the other hand, starred for the home side, kicking seven goals for a haul of 19 points and throwing a long cut out pass for a second-minute try to winger Anthony Volmink.
A 22nd minute quick tap from Rebels halfback Luke Burgess finally sparked the visitors into action, Tom English crossing to narrow the gap to 8-7.
The Rebels hit the front in the 52nd minute when flanker Colby Fainga'a scored from a maul.
English then thought he had crossed for a double when he dived over a ruck, only to embarrassingly realise he'd placed the ball over the five metre line, not the try line.
That hurt the Rebels, their stalled momentum resulting in the Lions going the length of the field for a 57th minute try to Warwick Tecklenburg and a three-point lead.
After Boshoff knocked over his final two penalties, Lions captain Warren Whitely put the result beyond doubt with a 71st minute try.

Jenny is in perpetual search for easy, weeknight recipes to attempt to feed her family. When they balk, she just eats more.
You can feel August coming in the waning weeks of July in DC. The endless waves of heat have left our collective bodies and brains soppy and languid, unready to turn on ovens, and some days, even chop a shallot. We read recipes from the comfort of bed, planning Thanksgiving, because who really wants to think about tonight's dinner. Or we lay prone on an Adirondack chair, wondering vaguely why someone hasn't proffered a gin rickey. Tans deepen, in spite of expensive French sunscreen. Mosquitos hatch, then buzz quietly around ankles. And still the red line fails to come.
What antidote do we have really, other than the grill?
If you've a partner, you can really whip up Chimichurri Lamb Chops in ten minutes, but I am going to stretch this to a mere 20, just so your chimichurri sauce can develop a few flavors. Do take your meat out, to get it room temperature, and get the grill going.
If you read the recipe closely, you will note that CoconutsandCardamom seems to be testing you to see if you're paying attention. The writer speaks in the chopping instructions of parsley, though it is never mentioned in the ingredients. You will need about a cup, or whatever you have lying about. Ditto for red pepper flakes; just get those out and have them at the ready.
You start with the garlic simmering in some nice olive oil (I say nice because it will be added to your sauce but of course use what you have) but I would not do so over a medium heat unless you want some burned garlic in this, which you don't. Just do a fast little simmer at a low heat while you chop your herbs.
This all goes into the food processor, herbs first, then the oil and vinegar and red pepper. I had never heard of montreal steak seasoning, but I put her in the Google and realized it was essentially some onion and pepper mix. So add some black pepper. Whatever. Mix the olive oil in slowly as you may not need a half cup; it really depends on your desired consistency but I used only ¼ cup and it was great.
As your (DELICIOUS!) chimichurri sauce sits around developing its thing, go ahead and salt and pepper those lamb chops and grill them, watching carefully not to overcook. With the grill at 400 degrees, cook for roughly two minutes per side for rib chops and three minutes per side for thicker loin chops. A hot grill will sear the outside while, if you are disciplined about cooking time, leaving the chops warm and pink inside.
Throw some veggies on there too, if you have them, or mix up some orzo. That's it. Go fold your last load of laundry.

Watch Yasiel Puig Make a Catch No Human Being Should [VIDEO]
The legend of Yasiel Puig continues to grow with this completely insane catch.
The Dodgers outfielder flashes some serious leather with this grab in Thursday's loss to the New York Mets.
After the catch, he made a nifty throw that almost doubled up Lucas Duda at first base.
The catch was so amazing Mets fans cheered him, which makes sense since Mets fans don't have much reason to cheer their own team.

Game 16, UMBC vs. New Hampshire Game Notes
America East Notes
BALTIMORE – Midday Madness returns to the RAC Arena for the ninth straight season on Wednesday, Jan. 15 when UMBC women's basketball hosts New Hampshire in America East action. Tip-off is set for noon, with 28 local elementary and middle schools set to be in attendance. All the live action will be available, free of charge, on UMBCRetrievers.tv, courtesy of the America East digital network.
RECORD CROWD POURS INTO THE RAC: UMBC, who will host its ninth annual Midday Madness on Wednesday, Jan. 15 against New Hampshire, will look to match last year's record crowd that poured in to watch the Retrievers' nationally-televised 70-59 victory against Stony Brook. The annual event, which welcomes local elementary and middle school students to campus, brought 2,905 fans to the RAC Arena a year ago. UMBC is 4-4 all-time during its Midday Madness games at the RAC Arena, which started in 2006, and has since averaged 1,873 fans.
SCOUTING THE RETRIEVERS (2-13, 1-2 AEC): UMBC dropped its second league contest in a row on Saturday, falling, 65-57, to conference newcomer UMass Lowell. The Retrievers went scoreless over the final 4:30 and allowed the River Hawks to go on a 10-0 run to close out the game. Freshman forward Sarah Tarbert notched her third double-double of the season with 16 points and a season-high 13 rebounds, while classmate Emily Russo narrowly missed out on a triple-double, finishing with 10 rebounds, nine points and seven assists, while also adding a season-best four steals.
Rookie guard Taylor McCarley garnered her first America East Rookie of the Week honors after leading the Retrievers in scoring last week, at 12.0 points per game and added 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals. The freshman hit 9-of-12 free throws en route to a season-high 16 points versus Maine, while chipping in a season-best six rebounds. McCarley also added a season-best four steals versus UMass Lowell. On the season, McCarley ranks second on the team in scoring (8.5 ppg) and steals (1.1 spg).
Tarbert stands as the only Retrievers averaging in double-figures at 12.9 points per game and is adding 7.3 rebounds, both ranking fourth in the America East. Russo is the only UMBC player to start all 15 games on the season and stands in the top-10 in the league assists (3.2 pg) and steals (1.5 pg).
SCOUTING THE WILDCATS (7-7, 1-0 AEC): New Hampshire has won three straight, including its America East opener against Stony Brook on Saturday. Senior guard Kelsey Hogan led the Wildcats to a 71-68 overtime victory, scoring a career-high 35 points on 10-of-15 shooting from the field. Red-shirt sophomore center Corinne Coia added 12 points and six rebounds in the victory.
The duo of Hogan and Coia combine for 24.0 of the Wildcats' points per game on the season. Hogan, a preseason all-conference selection, ranks in the top-10 in the league in scoring (12.6 ppg) and three-point field goals made per game (1.4). Sophomore guard Elizabeth Belanger is pulling down a team-best 6.9 rebounds per game, good for fifth in the conference.
New Hampshire was picked to finish fourth in the AEC preseason poll after upsetting No. 4 Stony Brook in the America East Quarterfinals a year ago. The Wildcats fell to eventual-champion Albany in the semifinals, but their quarterfinal victory marked its first America East tournament win since 2005. The Wildcats return eight letterwinners and three starters from a squad that finished 12-18 overall and 6-10 in America East play.
INSIDE THE SERIES: UMBC holds a 12-9 overall record against New Hampshire, including a 6-4 advantage in games played at the RAC Arena. The Retrievers and Wildcats have split their regular-season meetings in each of the last two seasons, but UMBC game out victorious in the America East Quarterfinals in 2012, 59-57. UMBC snagged a 59-50 victory in the last meeting between the two squads on Feb. 13, 2013. Seniors Kristin Coles and Raven Harris each tallied 16 points in the game and combined for 16 rebounds in the Retrievers' fifth annual Play4Kay contest.
ON THE HORIZON FOR THE RETRIEVERS: The Retrievers jump back on the road for a pair of contests over the holiday weekend, traveling to Vermont at Saturday, Jan. 18, followed by a short turnaround versus Stony Brook on Monday, Jan. 20.

San Jose Earthquakes 3, Real Salt Lake 3 | MLS Match Recap
SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Jose Earthquakes finally solved their Real Salt Lake season-opening hex.
Victor Bernardez scored twice, including a game-tying goal in the 95th minute, to secure a 3-3 tie for the Quakes against RSL on Saturday.
The Honduran international jumped on a loose clearance off a last-ditch cross from Shaun Francis. Real Salt Lake goalkeeper Nick Rimando went up against Quakes forward Alan Gordon to try and punch it clear, but the ball barely made it out of the visitors' 6-yard box, allowing Bernardez to hammer it home. The final whistle sounded just after the ensuing kickoff.
Chris Wondolowski also tallied for the Quakes, who had lost their regular-season opener to RSL in three of the previous four seasons.
The draw extended San Jose's unbeaten streak at Buck Shaw Stadium to 21 games in all competitions. The Quakes used another 95th-minute goal, this one from Gordon, to force a 1-1 tie with top-seeded Mexican side Toluca in the first leg of the teams' CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal Tuesday.
Joao Plata scored his second goal in as many games for RSL, who were looking to improve to 2-0-0 under new coach Jeff Cassar. Kyle Beckerman and MLS rookie Luke Mulholland also scored first-half goals for the visitors.
Wondolowski scored in the sixth minute from point-blank range, using his right thigh to redirect Bernardez's flick header off a long free kick by Shea Salinas.
Beckerman equalized for Real Salt Lake just five minutes later. Plata laid off a ball into space for Beckerman to strike with his left foot from 27 yards. The shot ricocheted in off San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch's right post.
Plata initiated and finished RSL's second goal-scoring sequence in the 32nd minute, beating two defenders from the left wing, trading give-and-go passes with Luis Gil and deking Earthquakes center back Jason Hernandez before pulling a 12-yard strike just inside the near post.
Mulholland put RSL up 3-1 in first-half injury time, racing past a scrambled San Jose defense to pick up the rebound of Ned Grabavoy's shot and slot it home from 8 yards.
Bernardez gave San Jose life in the 75th minute, connecting with a Salinas corner on a near-post run and skimming his header to the open back post.
It appeared the Quakes' last-ditch pressing would go for naught when Wondolowski, Steven Lenhart and Cordell Cato all placed attempts just wide in the final 10 minutes, but Bernardez came through one last time.
MLSsoccer.com Men of the Match
|What We Saw

Iggy Azalea + Rita Ora Channel 'Kill Bill' in 'Black Widow' Videoby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
Iggy Azalea channeled 'Clueless' with her 'Fancy' video, and now she's putting her own spin on 'Kill Bill' with Rita Ora in the video for 'Black Widow'.
Before Iggy and Rita kick some serious ass in the vid (which, trust us, they do), we first get to see why it is they're so angry in the movie-like intro. Rita is pissed at her super-controlling boyfriend (played by 'Kill Bill Vol. 1′ actor Michael Madsen) and Iggy is annoyed by her boss at the diner. But as the Aussie rapper starts chopping up some cabbage, she soon fantasizes about using the knife for other purposes — which is when she and Rita go into full-on samurai mode, whipping out some seriously impressive tricks while on the hunt for Madsen's villainous character.
Watch Iggy Azalea's 'Black Widow' video above, and don't forget to tune in to the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 24 to watch her perform it live! (Warning: There's some NSFW language in the video.)

Routes around the city of Avila
Monumento de los Cuatro Postes, Ávila
Monasterio de la Encarnación
Paseo Retiro, en Ávila, junto a las murallas
- Type of route:
- Urban
We invite you to discover Avila with these two routes around the city.
The City of Knights
Going through the Rastro gate leads to the heart of the City of Knights, thus called because of its fascinating past when Ávila had a very large population of aristocrats. Come and see the monuments not to be missed We also invite you to view the main buildings in the life of Santa Teresa de Jesús, a woman who revolutionised the society of her time.
Dávila Buildings This is a set of four16th-century palaces belonging to the noble family of Dávila. The warriors in relief on the main entrance will certainly get your attention, also the enigmatic sentence below one of the windows: "Where one door closes, another one opens". Los Guzmanes Tower Building started on this in 1513 and, nowadays, it is the seat of the Regional Council and has an exhibition hall. As the inscription on one of the windows on the ground floor reminds us, King Alfonso XII stayed here on a visit to Ávila in 1878. The tower also houses a statue of San Juan de la Cruz, the famous mystical poet. Superunda Palace This was built in 1580 by Pedro de Aguirre, alderman of Ávila at the end of the 16th century. The mansion belonged to following members of his family until the Italian painter, Guido Caprotti, bought it in the 20th century. Almarza Palace This is a 16th-century mansion with coats of arms of the Dávila, Águila and Guzmán families. At present, the religious Siervas de María community resides there. Santa Teresa Convent One of the most important figures in the history of Ávila raised the convent on the site of Santa Teresa's birthplace. The room where she was born, nowadays a chapel, is still preserved along with the original vegetable garden. The delightful museum in the convent also houses several mementos of Santa Teresa. Núñez Vela Palace This palace stands next to the convent and is the seat of the Provincial Court. It is a magnificent Renaissance building with noble coats of arms. Opposite the Puerta de la Santa gate, you can see the new building of the Centro de la Mística centre on mystics. Polentinos Palace The next stop is at the Polentinos Palace, with its remarkable Plateresque doorway and medallions looking out onto the courtyard. It is currently the site of the General Military Archive. Town Hall and San Juan Church The Town Hall stands in the Mercado Chico, a square surrounded by porches, which used to be the Roman forum. It has been a marketplace since the times of the Catholic Monarchs. It was designed by the architect, Vázquez de Zúñiga and is notable for its granite façade, the elegant interior staircase and the full portrait of Santa Teresa. The saint was baptised in 1515 in San Juan Church, which stands opposite. Los Velada Palace and Valderrábanos Palace You cannot miss the main feature of the first building, which is the unbattlemented square tower. Valderrábanos Palace was owned by Gonzalo Dávila, steward to the Catholic Monarchs. Note the façade with the family coat of arms. Both buildings have been renovated as hotels.
The Cuatro Postes
El Salvador Cathedral is surprising, as it looks like a military fortress, but is only one of the attractions awaiting you on this route. On the way, you will see charming shrines and centuries-old mansions, until you reach the Cuatro Postes, another of the symbols of Ávila.
El Salvador Cathedral Dating from the Gothic era, it is one of the oldest cathedrals in Spain and was started at the beginning of the 12th century. The famous poet, García Lorca, said that it was "formidable in its bloody blackness". The sanctuary was built into the wall itself, thanks to the "cimorro" tower, one of its identifying features. Make sure that you see the main altarpiece inside (decorated with paintings by Pedro Berruguete), the impressive choir stalls and the ambulatory, where lies Vasco de la Zarza's masterpiece, the El Tostado sepulchre. A visit to the cathedral museum is also recommended. Verdugo Palace and Los Águila Palace Verdugo Palace is a fine 16th-century building. Los Águila Palace, built by Rodrigo del Águila, a knight of Santiago and mayor of Madrid, is currently attached to the Prado Museum. Mosén Rubí Chapel The chapel is linked to the Bracamonte family, French aristocrats who arrived in Castile in the time of John II of Spain. One of their descendants ordered a hospital and chapel complex to be built in 1512. Dominican nuns started to use it as a residence in 1872. Piedras Albas Palace Now a Parador hotel, this 16th-century palace stands against the walls, and the gardens contain several archaeological items. San Martín Shrine Leaving the walled part by the Arco de Mariscal gate, you come to San Martin shrine, declared a site of historic and artistic interest in 1983. You will certainly appreciate its Mudejar tower. La Encarnación Monastery If you continue through the traditional Ajates district to this building, you will be able to find out more about Santa Teresa. The highlight is the saint's cell, decorated with kitchen utensils rescued during the restoration work done in 1968. The museum contains a recreation of a journey through the history of the reform of the Carmelite order, and several of the saint's personal belongings. Santa María de la Cabeza Shrine This was first dedicated to San Bartolomé. The original 12th-century building has been renovated several times, and the name was changed when a statue of Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza was installed. San Segundo Shrine This Romanesque building was declared a national monument in 1923. It contains an alabaster sculpture of the saint, the first bishop of Ávila, by Juan de Juni. The Cuatro Postes We finish at the Cuatro Postes, a shrine from the Middle Ages. The present structure dates from the 16th century, and the story goes that the young Santa Teresa and her brother, Rodrigo, were caught there when they tried to escape to find martyrdom in Moorish lands. It provides the best view of Ávila.

I'll be honest, I'd never heard of WaveDivision Holdings until this week when a longtime Seattle area PR veteran reached out to me about the Kirkland company with this pitch.
"I am doing some work with a Seattle-area company that has very quietly grown to 800+ employees, is profitable and has a significant (hundreds of millions) funding announcement set for Thursday morning."
Well, that's one way to grab a reporter's attention.
And now here's the news. WaveDivision, which offers cable TV, phone and broadband Internet service to business and residential customers along the West Coast, today is announcing that it has raised $1.052 billion from Oak Hill Capital and GI Partners, including new debt financing from Wells Fargo and Deutsche Bank. As part of the new financial arrangement, existing management has boosted its stake in the company from 10 percent to 15 percent.
A portion of the funding will be used to cash out an existing private equity firm, Sandler Capital, recapitalizing the profitable company and setting the stage for a new phase of growth.
The company declined to say how much new cash is flowing onto the balance sheet. But, nonetheless, that's a huge amount of funding, money that will be used to help the 10-year-old company expand residential and business broadband and cable service on the West Coast.
Wave has been around for a long time, and it is an amalgamation of cable and fiber assets from the likes of Charter, RCN and, most recently, a deal to acquire assets from Black Rock Cable. In other words, the company has been pieced together over the years through a series of more than 14 acquisitions, including some bankrupt properties. With the cash infusion, more acquisitions could occur in the future.
Why such a low profile?
That's just the way it has worked out. In an interview with GeekWire this week, CEO Steve Weed laughed when asked about the lack of a PR strategy, noting that he really hasn't done any sort of media outreach since the mid-1990s when he worked at one of the region's first providers of broadband Internet service.
"That's been by design," said Weed when asked about the low public profile of Wave. "Our customers know who we are, and they like us. The problem is, unless you live where we own the network, you are not going to get the service."
But, with the new cash infusion, that may change.
Wave now boasts 800 employees and 400,000 cable, phone and Internet customers in the communities surrounding Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and Sacramento. (Places like Whidbey Island and Gig Harbor) In each of those markets, Weed says it is one of the largest owners of fiber, operating under the brands Wave Broadband/Wave Business Solutions and Astound Broadband/Astound Business Solutions.
It is on pace to pull in about $300 million in revenue this year.
Wave has started to move deeper into business Internet services in recent years, taking on the likes of Comcast, Verizon and CenturyLink. Weed likes his chances against those companies, even though it is certainly not as well known as the "big telcos." In many respects, he said they are comparable to competitors, oftentimes exceeding the speed and reliability of the likes of Comcast or CenturyLink
"There's a huge amount of fiber assets that we've acquired, and about three or four years ago we made it a goal to provide the kind of service to our enterprise/business customers like we did with our broadband residential," said Weed, the former chief operating officer of Summit Communications. "We've been growing tremendously, and we are looking to expand that side of our business."
Unlike some large telecommunications companies, Wave will build out its fiber to existing businesses, making the investment of digging trenches and laying fiber. That's not a cheap proposition, with Weed noting that they "still have to build fiber to the business" from the core network.
"Depending what their needs are, we can build it out to their location, and we do that all day. That's part of what we are spending our money on is companies that want a fiber-based solution … We've got fiber all over the place."
Given the company's fiber assets, Weed said that they see tremendous opportunities as it relates to their business customer expansion. "That's the area where we see the biggest growth, and that's where are are going to focus our investment," he said.
Wave has been bolstering its team in recent months, including the addition of Tim Klinefelter as executive vice president of broadband services; Patrick Knorr as executive vice president of IP and business services; and Colette Jelineo as chief marketing officer (Formerly vice president of marketing with Cox Communications).

This E-blocks PIC USB multiprogrammer and development board acts as "the heart" of any E-blocks system. It provides up to five output ports and regulated 5V power outputs (up to 400mA max) from a single voltage source to connect, power and control other E-block modules.
The E-blocks PIC USB multiprogrammer and development board can be used with Assembly for PICmicro, C for PICmicro, Flowcode for PIC, and most third-party compilers. The free mLoader utility facilitates this. The board will program most 8-, 14-, 18-, 20-, 28- and 40-pin Microchip PIC microcontroller devices via USB, and provides clean access to all I/O lines on the relevant PICmicro MCU devices via 9-pin Sub-D connectors. The board takes power from an external power supply or from the USB port (only certain chips can be programmed using USB power, however). The board ships with a 40-pin PIC16F1937 microcontroller. By connecting downstream E-blocks modules, this board can be expanded into a complete customized solution for development or training purposes.
Version 9 of this board now supports the Matrix Ghost technology, which provides advanced in-circuit debugging and in-circuit test features via USB when used with the Professional version of Flowcode V6.1 and higher and running the simulation. Flowcode allows you to step through your program in real time, monitor variables and registers, monitor external data such as analog and digital waveforms, and can even decode digital buses such as UART, SPI and I²C. The host programming device on the Multiprogrammer board monitors all the I/O pins on the PIC target. These I/O data are buffered in the on-board memory and then sent to the PC via USB. Ghost takes these data and allows them to be displayed in the Flowcode SoftScope in the form of a voltage-vs-time trace, or in the Flowcode console in the form of scrolling interpreted data on a text box. Ghost can also display debug and test data in the form of dials, sliders, or custom-made Flowcode components.
Microchip PICkit2 headers on the board provide an alternative programming and debugging technique.
Flowcode 6.0.x users will need to replace files at /tools/mloader with the newer mLoader files available below.
No changes are needed for Flowcode 6.1 and above.
The EB009 V9 is a standard WinUSB device and should install automatically without the need for separate drivers. They are provided below just in case.
Download User Guide and Schematic mLoader Programming Software Download EB006-V9 USB Drivers
If you bought a previous version of this board that uses the PPP software instead of mLoader, you still can download USB Drivers for EB006 V8 and earlier.
The board can be powered from a regulated DC 7.5V to 9V supply or via USB. Power can be connected using the 5.5mm/2.1mm power jack (either polarity), or the screw terminal connectors. The jumper link system, J11, allows you to decide on the source of the power supply. If using a regulated 7.5V supply, the jumper should be positioned to the right side of the jumper system lebeled PSU. If using USB, place the jumper on the left side.
The LED D6 indicates that power is supplied correctly.
Note: Both USB and power supply cables should be removed before changing the jumper position! Also, remember that other E-blocks will have to receive their voltage by placing a connecting wire from the +V Out screw terminal of the Multiprogrammer to the +V screw terminal of each E-Block that requires a voltage. Ground is supplied via any of the 9-pin Sub-D connectors used to connect other E-blocks.
The Multiprogrammer connects to a PC via the USB socket. Any USB socket on the PC can be used. The host microcontroller is used to communicate between the USB bus and the Multiprogrammer circuitry. The host is connected to a network of analog switches formed by U4 and a charge pump circuit which is used to multiply the operating voltage up to the 9-12V programming voltage. This circuitry routes 0V, VDD and VPP to appropriate pins on the slave PICmicro devices as and when necessary.
The board's DIL sockets are wired in parallel and the ports are fed out to five 9-pin Sub-D-type connectors grouped in ports. These signals are also available on a 40-way header (J5) for expansion purposes. Other important signals can be accessed via the other expansion header (J24). Port E has only three connections, which reflects the pinouts of the various PICmicro devices themselves. When using an 8-pin or 14-pin device, it should be placed in the upper pins of the 20-pin DIL socket as marked on the board. Please refer to device datasheets for availability of port outputs on each device. The EB006 User Guide has tables showing the expansion header pinouts.
Note: RA4 on some PICmicro devices has an open-collector output. This means that you will most likely need a pull up resistor to be able to detect a change in output status or drive an LED etc. Please see the datasheet on the device you are using for details. This does not apply to 16F1937 device that is supplied with the EB006 board.
The Reset pushbutton PB1 provides a reset by pulling the MCLR pin low. Note that the programming chip will reset the slave PICmicro as part of the send routine so that you do not need to press this switch each time you send your program to the board. If you are using a device with internal MCLR functionality, then you will have to ensure that the chip is configured with an external MCLR to allow the reset operation to work. Devices using the internal MCLR configuration setting will be able to use the reset switch as a digital input.
By default, the board comes fitted with a 19.6608 MHz crystal. The crystal fits into a small socket, which allows it to be changed easily. For older Matrix courses, a 3.2768 MHz crystal is recommended. These frequencies are chosen as they divide down by PICmicro prescalers to give suitable frequencies for clock systems and for facilitating serial communication using standard baud rates.
The jumper link system (J18 and J19) allows PICmicro devices with internal oscillators to route the signals from the oscillator pins through to Port A pins 6 and 7. This allows the devices with internal oscillators to use all eight bits of Port A for I/O operation.
E-Blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.
Each E-Block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to eight input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-Blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-Blocks that need it.
Processing E-Blocks based on PIC, dsPIC, ARM or AVR microcontrollers, Altera FPGAs, Arduino or Raspberry Pi control the whole E-Blocks system. Processing E-Blocks provide up to five input/output ports with up to eight lines per port.
Please see the E-Blocks Category for a list of available components. For more details on E-Blocks, see the E-Blocks User Guide (in English, French, German and Spanish) or watch the Introduction to E-Blocks video.
Ships from: USA Leadtime: in stock
Note: If you want to use the ZIF Socket Adapter listed in the options below, you'll also need to get the 80-pin header strip listed just below it, snap the header strip in half, and solder the two halves to the EB006's expansion header pads.

Man Eats $5,000 Worth of Caviar in 86 Seconds
When you think "binge eating," caviar is probably one of the last foods that comes to mind. But hey, competitive eating doesn't just have to be about pies and hot dogs.
In Russia, 49-year-old Alexander Lavrov won the first-ever caviar eating contest after eating an entire pound of black caviar, an amount that would set you back about $5,000. And he did it all in a horrifying 86 seconds.
The event was hosted at high-end Moscow restaurant Apartment, which spent the equivalent of $65,000 on the contest. A spokesman for the restaurant explained the cultural difference.
In Texas, people organise hot dog and hamburger eating championships and contests. In Moscow, people eat black caviar instead.
Yes, yes, you're a classier people. But $5,000 is a lot of money to watch someone eat in a minute and a half. Do you know what would happen if someone tried to eat $5,000 worth of hot dogs? Let's hope we never find out.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Following a week in which she tallied seven goals and helped the Crimson secure two victories, Jennifer VanderMeulen has been selected as the COOP Athlete of the Week for April 18, 2011.
Visiting Holy Cross on Wednesday, VanderMeulen netted three goals, while dishing out two helpers in a 10-6 Crimson win. She followed that performance with four goals and one assist in a critical 9-8 win over No. 12 Princeton. VanderMeulen is currently riding a 26-game scoring streak through the first 26 games of her career. Between the two games she also secured three ground balls, caused two turnovers and won one draw control.
The win over Princeton gives the Crimson a 4-1 conference mark, good for a tie for second with Dartmouth. Harvard and the Big Green sit just one game back of Penn for a share of the conference title.

Bay of Tweets
USAID's boneheaded idea to secretly make a "Cuban Twitter" just put Internet activists all over the world in danger.
Let's hand it to the U.S. government: At least this disastrous attempt to overthrow the Castro brothers did not almost lead to nuclear annihilation. But its impact on activists around the world who use digital tools to organize against repressive regimes feels devastating enough.
Over the years, U.S. efforts to relieve Cuba of its communist government have included invasion attempts, Mafia contracts, poisoned cigars and wetsuits and pirate TV broadcasts. So far, all have been unsuccessful except in courting disaster or embarrassment for the United States. This time, every authoritarian leader in the world was just handed a golden talking point to justify their suppression of the Internet: a faux " Cuban Twitter" secretly launched and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), with the aim of nudging along regime change in Cuba.
Story Continued Below
This metaphorical poisoned cigar was "ZunZuneo," a social network named after the Cuban slang for a hummingbird's tweet and conceived and built by a large Beltway contractor and its overseers at USAID. On one level, it might not have seemed like such a crazy idea: They knew what Internet scholarship has shown: Non-threatening platforms that let ordinary citizens get together to banter about everyday life and exchange jokes are more powerful in the long run than openly political sites. They attract a large user base, build community and are harder for governments to target.
Although the tightly controlled Cuban Internet had no such platform, ordinary cell phones with text capability were becoming widespread. ZunZuneo was launched as a text-message based social network in which Cubans wealthy enough to own cell phones could follow and message each other for a mere 4 cents per text—cheap because USAID, through a front company in Spain, subsidized the cost. The agency also paid Havana-born artists to compose messages for the system, without disclosing the origin or the aim of the project. They used a secretly obtained list of half-a-million Cuban cell phone numbers to blast users, urging them to sign up and taking opportunities like carefully selected musical events as tests of ZunZeneo's power.The idea was to gradually start introducing political messages and even, somewhere down the line, inspire Cubans to trigger Arab Spring-like mass protests. As one USAID document quoted by the Associated Press put it, the overall aim was to "renegotiate the balance of power between the state and society."
One might have hoped that someone asked the question: What if we succeed?
People do like social networking and indeed, tens of thousands of Cubans signed up and started using the cheap service—at its height, the system hosted more than 40,000 users. But a platform secretly run by the U.S. government could not become a major social network in Cuba without being exposed at some point, so the contractors looked for ways to hide ZunZeneo's origins, including operating it from other countries and spoofing Internet addresses. Meanwhile, the service polled unsuspecting Cubans on seemingly innocuous matters, such as their views of slightly dissident rock groups, and data-mined the responses to assemble political profiles of those who responded. It all seemed to be working according to plan.
ZunZuneo's growing popularity posed a problem, though: The cost of all those texts was adding up. So USAIDtried to lure an outside CEO into taking it over, and invited Silicon Valley companies invest in it. There were no takers. After all, what sane company would take over an operation that involved forking over tens of thousands of dollars to the Cuban government in perpetuity to subsidize texts about the weather or music concerts? By mid-2012, the money had run out, and the service died.
One might have also hoped that someone in the U.S. government asked the question: What if we fail? What if we are found out?
The answer, I'm afraid, can be found in the fear and outrage that slowly filled my Facebook page on Thursday as online activists around the world found out about the project—a boneheaded idea tailor-made to taint social media as a tool of the United States, and the activists as useful idiots at best, and traitors at worst.

When protection for Arianism ended with the death of Valens, Gregory was called to rebuild the faith in the great see of Constantinople, which had been under Arian teachers for three decades. Retiring and sensitive, he dreaded being drawn into the whirlpool of corruption and violence. He first stayed at a friends home, which became the only orthodox church in the city. In such surroundings, he began giving the great sermons on the Trinity for which he is famous. In time, Gregory did rebuild the faith in the city, but at the cost of great suffering, slander, insults and even personal violence. An interloper even tried to take over his bishopric.
His last days were spent in solitude and austerity. He wrote religious poetry, some of it autobiographical, of great depth and beauty. He was acclaimed simply as the Theologian.

Harvard looks for its third straight win over Boston Friday night (Craig Cyr).
The Storyline
Playing for its third consecutive victory, the Harvard women's lacrosse team prepares for two road non-conference matchups against Boston University Friday and Vanderbilt.
Follow From Home
GoTerriers.com and VUCommodores.com will provide live stats and video links.
A Look at the Schedule
Harvard makes the short trip to cross town rival BU on Friday, March 29 for a 7 p.m. open draw at Nickerson Field before traveling south to Nashville, Tenn., Monday, April 1. Game time at VU Lacrosse Complex is set for 3 p.m. EST.
Last Time Out
With the score tied 2-2, Harvard netted five unanswered goals over the course of 29:45 en route to its third straight win over Yale, 10-5, on Saturday afternoon at Harvard Stadium.
The Crimson featured a balanced scoring attack as seven different players recorded a goal in the contest. Senior Micaela Cyr posted her sixth straight game registering a point as the captain led the Crimson with four points on two goals and two assists. Classmate Danielle Tetreault and freshman Alexis Nicolia each found the back of the net twice while senior Mariel Jenkins, juniors Kyleigh Keating and Lauren Tomkinson and freshman Audrey Todd contributed a goal apiece. Senior Melanie Cook recorded six saves in between the pipes for the Crimson.
Scouting the Terriers
Boston looks to snap a a two-game losing streak after falling to UMBC, 7-6, in overtime Saturday afternoon to move to 2-5 on the year.
The Terriers are averaging 9.71 while allowing opponents to score 11.29 goals per contest. Danielle Etrasco leads 13 Boston players who have contributed a point this season with 30 points on 21 goals and nine assists. Elizabeth morse (12g, 3a), Kristen Mogavero (13g), and Jenna Boarman (3g, 7a) round out the Terriers quartet of double-digit scorers.
Etrasco paces the team in draw controls (20) and caused turnovers (11) while Christina Sherdian has grabbed a team-best 19 ground balls.
Sheridan has seen the bulk of the action in net and sports a 10.83 goals against average and a save percentage of 47.7 percent. Kim Elsworth has also been between the pipes and owns a 10.97 goals against mark with a save percentage of 47.3 percent
All-Time Series
In the 23rd installment of the all-time series Harvard looks to go for its third straight win against BU. The Crimson holds a 12-10 advantage in the series that began in 1976.
Scouting the Commodores
Coming off a 15-4 loss to No. 13 Stanford, its lowest offensive output of the season and ninth consecutive defeat on the year, Vanderbilt (1-10, 0-2 ALC) looks to earn its second win of the season on Monday.
The Commodores are led by Carly Linthicum who has turned in 48 on the season on 37 goals and 11 assists. Mallory Schonk has added 17 goals and seven assists for 24 points while Abby Wheeler has chipped in 18 goals and three assists for 21 points.
Chelsea Pasfield has played all but a single half in goal for the Commodores. The goaltender turned away 104 attempts for a .418 save percentage and 13.06 goals-against average.
Prior to Monday's contest the Commodores will travel to John Hopkins on Saturday, March 30.
All-Time Series
The Crimson and Commodores have only met once on the lacrosse field in program history on April 4, 1997 with Vanderbilt being the victor of the game, 7-6.

She sits 10th in the Ancient Eight this season in points (23) and ninth in goals (16). The senior has netted at least two goals in each game and is averaging an assist per contest.
Freshmen Alexis Nicolia (12g, 1a) and Aubrey Todd (10g, 3a) are tied for second on the team in scoring, while senior Danielle Tetreault (9g, 2a) and junior Kyleigh Keating (5g, 5a) round out the double-digit scorers.
On the defensive side, senior Mariel Jenkins has caused a team-high seven turnovers. Tetreault has excelled statistically across the board, controlling 14 draws and picking up 11 ground balls to go with her 11 points. Todd grabbed a career-high four ground balls against Yale March 23 to tie Tetreault's second-best 11 ground balls.
Annie Meyjes and Melanie Cook have split time in net for the Crimson. Meyjes who saw action in four games has stopped 35.7 percent of opponents' while Cook turned away 40.4 percent of the oppositions attempts to rank fourth in the Ivy League.
All-Around Excellence
Harvard held advantages of 35-9 in shots, 17-10 in ground balls and 16-7 in draw controls against Marquette March 19, allowing just four shots in the first half and five in the second. The Crimson won 11 of 14 first-half draw control and was successful on all 11 of its clear attempts during the game.
The four goals allowed marked Harvard's lowest total surrendered since a 10-3 win at Columbia late last season. The Crimson limited 12 of its 16 opponents in 2011-12 to single-digit goal totals.
Senior Micaela Cyr has registered a point in each of Harvard's contest this season to post a six-game point streak, the longest of her career. The captain has accounted for a team-best 23 points on 16 goals and seven assists to lead the Crimson in all but two contests this year.
High Five
Senior Micaela Cyr and freshman Alexis Nicolia each posted five-goal games this season. Nicolia reached the feat in her first collegiate game at Stanford Feb. 24, marking the most goals scored by a Crimson student-athlete since junior Jennifer VanderMeulen netted six on April 7, 2012. Four games later Cyr matched her career-high with five tallies against Marquette March 19.
Man Down
Junior Kyleigh Keating registered a shorthanded goal against Yale March 23 to be the first Crimson to do so since classmate Jennifer VanderMeulen accomplished the feat on a free position shot against Penn March 10, 2012.
Climbing the Charts
Senior Danielle Tetreault has scored 99 goals in her career. She is six goals shy of tying Kelly McBridge '87 for 10th in program history with 105 career tallies.
Great Start
Rookies Alexis Nicolia and Aubrey Todd have made an impact through their first six collegiate games. The duo is tied for second on the team in scoring with 13 points. Nicola found the back of the net 12 times and handed out and assists while Todd notched 10 goals and three handouts.
Take Your Hats Off
Harvard has notched seven hat tricks this season with Micaela Cyr, Alexis Nicolia and Aubrey Todd lead the way with two apiece. Danielle Tetreault leads all active Crimson with 12 hat tricks in her career.

Harvard has knocked off at least one top 20 opponent in each of the last four seasons, and will have plenty of opportunities to do so in 2013. Five of the Crimson's opponents this season are currently ranked in either the IWLCA Coaches Poll or the deBeer Media Poll, including Cornell (14/arv), Penn (20/19), Northwestern (5/4), Boston College (-/20) and Dartmouth (13/13).
Captaining the Ship
Senior Micaela Cyr was voted by her teammates as captain for the 2013 season. This marks the first time since 1987 that the Crimson has been led by one captain.
Historical Perspective
Harvard captured the program's first national championship in 1990 when it defeated Maryland, 8-7. The Crimson won four games that season by a single goal en route to a 15-0 record, with Jenny Walser '90 scoring the game winner in three of those four games, including the national title game. Four-year letterwinners Carroll Clark '90, Karen Everling '90, Julie French '90, and Walser graduated with a career record of 50-8-1, including a perfect 23-0 mark in the Ivy League.
The Crimson has made a total of nine NCAA Tournament appearances and has reached the national championship game three times. Harvard has also won 11 Ivy League Championships, tied with Dartmouth for the most in conference history.

Yes, I'm using the 4S Smart stop. You can use a 2S LVC, but that would have to be wired just like the diagram, on the BEC side.
Sig edited for content.
I should have been more specific. Are you using a 4S LVC?Originally Posted by akrimmel
Sig edited for content.
i wired like the diagram from the other thread and that why it fried. needs to be one wire to each High Current connector + and - need to go in the correct connector as well.
Now I'm confused.
I see how you wired it and that's why it friend.
But now what you're saying is you need 4 wires?
Looking at how Alectric wired his Smartstop (LVC), he has one postive and one negative wire.
He connected the positive to one side the esc wires that connect to one battery and then connect the negative to the opposite side side.
So one battery connection has an extra positive going to it and the other battery connection has an extra negative going to it.

Good reference threads here.
How to determine BEC Side with an EVX2. Post #11 also describes how should wire for a 4S and I think this is was Alectric did.
How to build a "Kraegar Harness" so you can remove the BEC if you want to run Nimh and not lipo
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
I keep forgetting to post a reply here... so without further delay:
To Alectric, thanks for posting this information, for whatever reason I hadn't even considered mounting the LVC this way. Thanks to your post, my Summit remains water tight and lipo safe. :-)
I followed Alectric instructions to a T and had no problems what so ever. I chose to use the 2S option on the BEC side and it works flawlessly. Below are the instructions that came with the Novak Smartstop Lipo Battery Cut Off.
I hope this might answer some questions.

Nice, glad to have been a help. Like I had said in my original post "I have learned allot on this forum and wanted to give a little back". Thanks again.

Alectric...couple of followup questions. How did you determine the BEC side of the ESC?
I followed the way the e-revo thread said to do it, but no matter which battery I unplugged the ESC shut off.
As well, where did you mount the light from the Smartstop? Where in the receiver box did you run it out of?
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
Well thanks Alectric I got my 4s hooked up . I didn't hook up the LED only because I couldn't get the wires run through the rx boxes like I could the other two.
I still would like to know if the LVC running color is red ?? Or is it green ?
:Slash 4x4
:Original Police Summit
So what did you do with the LED?
How did you determine the BEC side?
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
I kept the LED to hook up at a later time , I'll just watch for the truck to start acting like the Novak instructions say. As far as the bec , I had to tap into each battery because I'm using the 4s and not the 2s so each lead from the LVC hooks up to one lead from each battery. I went by pics from this post and a post I found from maxamps.
:Slash 4x4
:Original Police Summit
I didn't intall the LED either, too short and didn't feel like extending it. Lvc works fine without it.
Koko, the red wire from the Lvc goes to the red side of the Bec (which is the side with the sticker wrapped around it) and the black wire from the lvc goes to black wire of the nonBec side. If this doesn't help, check out the photo bucket pic I posted on the first or second page of this thread. Good luck.
Sig edited for content.
How I did it was similar to what someone else here posted but it worked fine. Plug ONE pack into the connector of your choice. Wait a few seconds(the power caps are pretty big). Turn on esc. If absolutely nothing, non-bec side. If there's a blip of lights and servos, bec side. If you look at the esc straight on with the setup button in front of you, I believe I determined the bec side to contain the black batt lead furthest RIGHT.Originally Posted by Koko
I can't recall the lvc hookup as I used the 4s one and fried my servo lead before I determined the bec side. Hope this helps.
Thanks guys. Alectric, your description seems opposite of what you described. Seems you have the black wire on the sticker side?
oldRCMan, maybe I was doing it wrong. I had both packs plugged in and turned on the esc, then unplugged one. It shut off. Plugged it back in turned on the esc, unplugged the others side and turned off. You described doing it opposite. Plug one pack in and try to turn it on. I'll try that at lunch.
Maybe another thing I'm missing...or I haven't looked close enough. THe light on the LVC just unplugs or you did you have to cut the wires?
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
LOL so what color is the LED on the LVC while running the car ?? I just wanna make sure mine is working because I didn't hook the blue LED up I would hate to ruin my maxamp batteries already
The light on the LVC just unplugs
:Slash 4x4
:Original Police Summit
I'm sorry your rite koko. I have it opposite. I'll make the change if I can.
Edit. I can't make the change for some reason. Just follow the photo above and it will work fine.

Alectric, I think you have it wired right and just reversed your statement above. Just checked during lunch. My esc will turn on (then right off) when a battery is plugged into the esc wires wrapped with the sticker (BEC side). According to the directions the black wire from the LVC should wired to the BEC side just as you have it.
This topic should be stickied IMO.
I'll post up pics when I get mine installed with the Kragar Harness. At least I'm comfortable knowing the BEC side now.

That's how it worked for me. I guess it doesn't matter HOW you figure it out just as long as you figure it out CORRECTLY. I had to replace my esc rx lead because I didn't do it right from the start. Warrently don't bother me.
On my Novak lvc the light is on a short lead that plugs into the lvc unit. I lenthened it a good 10 inches(with a plug-in lead) so I can remove the body and then just unplug my extension. Spent an hour in the snow last month. Worked great until I ran into my wood pile.
Ok. Worked on it for a few minutes last night. I unplugged the light from the Smartstop and I was trying to fish the pos/neg wire out of the esc tray. I wasn't haven't much luck. I removed the motor, then things got easier. I'll take some pictures to help the next person.
That's about as far as I got. If I have time I'll work on finishing it up tonight.
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
Overall very easy to do. If you know how to solder (this was my first shot) it would have been even easier.
The steps are below are a blend of Alectric's steps from earlier in this post and the extra steps I had taken to complete this project. I need very detailed instructions since I'm a newbie at this. I'll get some pictures of my harness up hopefully tonight.
How to wire an LVC to a stock Traxxas Summit ESC
1. the T-lock control needs to be pulled off the receiver and double side tape also needs to be removed and discarded to make for more room. -Alectric
2. On the inside of the rx box cover is a small nipple which needs to be ground down to make as much room as possible (I was able to fit it without removing with the dremel, but I recommend removing, it makes for a better fit) -Alectric
3. Remove the motor from the transmission and set it aside. -Koko
4. Remove the smaller rx cover adjacent to the rx box. This is where the wires run out of from the rx box to all the servo's and the ESC. (I found it much easier to fish the wires out the rx box this way. I also had to pull the rx up which is secured in the rx box with servo tape.) -Koko
5. Determine the BEC side of your ESC. This can be done by taking one battery and plugging into one side of the ESC. Try to turn the truck on. If nothing, it's the NON BEC side. Try it on the other side set side of the ESC and it should turn on, then power right down. This is the BEC side. It most likely and should be the side that has the red sticker around the wires. -Koko
6. Wire in your LVC. Easier said then done for people have experience soldering. I wanted the ability to to still run my Nimh batteries so I built a modified "Kraegar Harness" so you can remove the BEC if you want to run Nimh. What I did was buy a pair or Traxxas female plugs, a pair of Traxxas male plugs. I also used 2 pieces of black wire, and 2 pieces red wire about an inch and a half long. I'll post pics when I get home from work. Basically I made two battery extension wire. With this extension I wired in the LVC - Black wire(negative side) to the BEC side and te red wire (positive wire) to the non-bec side just like the picture below. -Koko
Picture by -Alectric
7. Remove the Channel 2 plug from the RX and plug it into the LVC. Then plug the LVC into Channel 2 on the RX. At this time I also removed the light from the LVC which is easily done because it too plugs into the LVC. -Koko
8. Next before I put it all back into place, I programmed the LVC. Very easy to do. Plug in the batteries and hold down the program button on the LVC. While holding the button turn on the ESC. The light will flash then turn solid red. Squeeze trigger to full throttle until the LED stops flashing green and becomes solid green. Allow the trigger to return to neutral. The green LED will flash and then become red one more time noting it is programmed. -Koko
9. Ensure everything works correctly. Test throttle forward and reverse (remember your motor is not connected to the tranny at this time). -Koko
10. Next place the LVC on top of the rx first, then the t-lock control on top of the lvc and it should all fit in there like a glove. -Alectric
11. Reinstall the the small cover adjactent to the RX box. This is the cover that allows the RX box to be waterproof. Reinstall the motor next. Make sure to double check your gear mesh. -Koko
12. Lastly, fold in all wiring and place were room allows within the RX box, lock down wire harness, put cover back on and you should be ready for dem' lipos. -Alectric

Thanks Koko! I like the fact that u expanded on my discription of the install.

No problem. I like the fact you answered my endless questions!
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
anytime brother! How's the Lvc working for ya?
I forget what color the led on the lvc is. Havnt opened up the rx box in a while, all my time has been spent with the BEER.

I just got it hooked up last night. I need to charge my lipos and get outside. Hopefully today I can see if Lipo's are all they are cracked up to be. LOL
I'm only getting about 15min of runtime with SPC 6-cell matched packs. I'll be curious to see what I get with the Maxamps 6500 lipos.
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
my MA 6500's give me around 50 minutes of run time. You're gonna love the power from the lipos. It's night and day.
Sig edited for content.
to solder the lvc on do you have to do anything with the esc, what i mean can you splice into the wires or do you have to open the esc up and solder at a terminal or something like that? In the instructions is states it can be connected to a battery or battery connectors, does that mean you can connect it directly to the traxxas connector?

I've completed my LVC install (2s version). Installed in the box, wiring cleaned up. I did take a couple of pics that I hadn't seen here yet, if people are interested, here they are.
The silly thing is, I put the dingin' thing all back together and then realized I forgot to program the LVC. Smack!
LVC Install 01
LVC Install 02
LVC Install 03
LVC Install 04
i prefer the 2s because the bec side batteries won't go below the recomended lvc per cell, the 4s reads all 4 cell voltages and cuts u off when the combined voltage equals said number, the 2s reads the bec side battery and cuts it off at said voltage, problem is on 4s the non bec side will get cut off at an ok voltage, but the bec side will get cut off at a too low voltage, the non bec side powers motor only, the bec side powers motor, leds, servos, and reciever, so inless the 4s cuts off at much higher per cell than is recommended its bad for ur bec side batteries. and why the heck remove the motor? remove the reciever box from the chassis, then u can access the lid that seals where the wires come out of the reciever box. note: the 2s install u go red to red and black to black on the bec side.
do you have to remove the motor to help with room or spacing or can it be left on? Also where do you have to solder the lvc onto, are there solder points on the esc or do you have to splice into the wires themselves? Also is it easy to make a Kraegar Harness, is there a pic or part list cause i would like to run nimh while my lipo's are charging?
Sorry for so many questions but i am a good mechanic, but when it comes to wires and electric stuff i am two left hands, but with instructions i can do very well with.
motor can be left on, if u remove the reciever box, in my opinion its eazier to remove the reciever box than the motor. a 2s lvc will go red to red black to black on the bec side of the evx 2 male plugs, just use a flathead screwdriver to pry out the metal connector tabs, tin ur lvc wires and iron them to the tabs, and push the tabs back into the male conector, red to the plus, black to the minus. idk about the kraegar harness though, might work differnet if u use that.Originally Posted by egoneski
OK im new to all this Lipo and LVC but is this the right one to use?
I would be using these Lipos..
Thanks for your help.
E-Revo E-Maxx Stampede Slash Amsoil=)
Yes, that's the one you want. I personally agree with using the 2S and monitoring the BEC battery.
The best setup would be to install two 2S lvcs, one attached to each battery and the speed circuit run thru both LVC's (tho I'm sure the designer of the LVC didn't intend for two of them in series, I couldn't say it would work without trying it, but it should work).
That way, if for some bizarre reason, the non-BEC battery were to start failing, it wouldn't be toasted (LOL, I bring this up because yesterday because I toasted the non-BEC battery, right after I installed a 2s LVC on the BEC battery).
That one will work. I went with the Novak 4s one that MaxAmps reccomends for the truck though.
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
well the best way to do this is the 2s lvc, but u must allways hook up fully charged lipos. say if u did a half run and took ur lipos out and then later put them back in ur bec battery might now be on the non bec side, so now ur non bec side is lower than ur bec side, will the bec side still drain fast enough to catch up and pass the non bec side? so the 2s lvc is safer assuming u use fully charged lipos only
I agree, both the 2s and the 4s each have drawbacks.Originally Posted by Brasher
A person could add an extra set of leads and a Minimum-selecting relay (on a chip of course, so it would be small) to the LVC. Then the lowest of the two batteries would trip the cutoff, no matter which battery it is.

Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
i have a question, instead of a kreager harness whatever that is, could you just get an additional male and female traxxas connector and solder the lvc to the male or female connector like you would do normally and when you want to run nimh's just unplug it and snug it somewhere?
That's exactly what I did. I need to get off my bum and take a picture tonight.Originally Posted by egoneski
Traxxas Rally, Grave Digger, and LaTrax Alias
that would be great to actually see one done the way you have done it. I got everything except my lipo's now waiting till promatch gets their 5000mah 2s 30c packs in.

After the Wall
The way that the past is remembered, reconstructed and commemorated has become a major area of scholarship, across a range of disciplines, such as Cultural Studies, History, Anthropology, Politics, Media and Film Studies. There have been significant studies concerning remembrance of the Holocaust and the National Socialist past, particularly concerning concepts of 'normalisation' and 'victimhood'. In contrast, however, such work on GDR remembrance remains in its infancy. The network will provide a forum for scholars from a variety of fields who are working on memories and representations of the GDR, allowing for novel interaction and the generation of new ideas.
The central aims are threefold:
1) to further understand the role of the GDR past in shaping contemporary Germany and the changing nature of east German distinctiveness (whether real or assumed);
2) to investigate the extent to which different art forms and remembrance projects condition the type of memory that is reconstructed;
3) to advance our theoretical understanding of collective memories.
The project also aims to set new research agendas, develop fresh postgraduate projects and encourage interaction with practitioners in the heritage sector, writers and artists. In the longer-term, this forum hopes to provide the basis for collaborative projects concerning the memory and remembrance of other dictatorships and periods of conflict, both in the post-socialist world and elsewhere, in order to test exploratory theses and theoretical understandings.
The findings of the network will be of interest to scholars working on German identities, post-communist societies, and on memory in a wide variety of disciplines, as well as to those outside the academic community who are concerned with the practical considerations and aesthetics of GDR remembrance (notably the museum sector).
The network began in 2009 in order to benefit from and interact with numerous anniversary events due to take place in the UK and Germany to mark the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Wall. Continuing into 2010, however, it will crucially also facilitate reflection on these events, themselves important markers in the development of representation, memory and form.
