    Switchin from Picaxe to PICMicrochips?

    Fairly certain that Arduino is not interpreted, it is compiled. The Arduino language may be interpreted to C/C++, but then it is compiled. There is not an interpreter program running on the Arduino. I do agree that Arduino is a better option than learning C/C++ and programming a PIC. The...

    So I got to thinking

    The driving force in a circuit breaker is the current, especially if it's using a solenoid to trip at the rated current. Therefore, whether you're running 120V or 240V through it doesn't matter, it will always trip once it hits 20A.

    time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

    Bingo. Which makes it an Imperial IPA. For a 5 gallon batch it used 17 oz. of hops and something like 2-3 oz. for dry hopping alone.

    time to play the "can you name this style by the pictures" game.

    It's a crummy picture, but this is a picture of the secondary right after racking: Here's your hint: I don't dry hop using bags. It's a clone recipe of a beer that is listed in the BJCP guide as a commercial example of the style. Bonus points if you can guess what I was trying to clone...

    240 volt 20 amp electric motor, run on 120 whats the rpm?

    If the motor is synchronous then you'll have trouble operating at a lower voltage as yjfun has said. However, if it's an induction motor then you're safe operating at a lower voltage, it will just operate at a lower speed and deliver less power. I looked around briefly, but I couldn't find a...
