Untrue News and Factual News Search search through many sites that fact-check news, political speech, myths, rumours, and urban legends. Untrue News displays the results of the fact-check right on the results page. The following are some of the largest fact-checking websites.
Most of them have at least some of their pages included in either Untrue News or Factual News Search. These sites have the largest number of press releases. News from about the year and more recent can be found on Newslookup.
The tools in this section are free collections of mostly digitized newspapers. Digitization means that newspapers on paper or microform microfilm or microfiche are scanned or photographed. The images are then converted to text using optical character recognition OCR , which is what enables searching by keyword. OCR is not perfect, especially for older newspapers. One useful strategy is to take into account common OCR errors when searching.
Every newspaper archive is a collection of various individual newspapers across various years. Any one newspaper may have some years available through several sites, other years available through a different site, and some years not yet digitized.
Many significant newspaper archives are only available from paid services. There are also newspapers in many of the libraries and archives , including those that have never been digitized and are only available in-person.
Europeana has full text newspapers from various European countries including Germany and the Netherlands. It also has other newspapers with only their article titles searchable, from France, Poland, and elsewhere.
These two sets of newspapers can only be searched separately. Newspapers on Google Books include those from a number of countries. You can browse the full list of titles but if you want to search use the first link or this page, as searching does not work properly from the second link.
The Library of Congress tool here includes all Library of Congress newspaper collections aside from Chronicling America. This includes a few from the United States, but also listings of what other non-digitized newspapers are held by the library including ones from around the world.
This incredible service is the work of a single person. The tool used here is FultonSearch , which offers some advantages over the search engine available on Fultonhistory.
The results may not be identical, so try their search as well. Chronicling America , from the Library of Congress is one of the largest newspaper collections and is also included in Elephind. It covers the years to , but there are limited newspapers after Most newspapers are in English but there are some in German, Spanish, and other languages. SmallTownPapers not included above does not have a method to search all newspapers at once, you will have to find a specific newspaper to then search within it.
To search on Hemeroteca Digital from the Brazilian national library not included above , you must select a specific newspaper to search within. Trove , from the National Library of Australia, is also included in Elephind. There are many more newspapers archived online, that are only available individually or in smaller collections.
Many large collections of digitized newspapers are only available for a fee usually a subscription , or through libraries. ProQuest, Gale, and other tools listed under paid databases also include news archives. Check your local library to see which services they subscribe to. See also free news archives above for more on how to search.
Their newspapers can also be found on Findmypast. Ancestry, MyHeritage, and Findmypast are all genealogy sites which include newspaper archives. If you are searching for people , you should do the searching from their sites, which are more suited to that purpose. Ancestry runs Newspapers. The newspapers on Ancestry. See their site for a list of included countries. On Ancestry, you can see the search results without subscribing, but you will not be able to open them.
The newspapers on MyHeritage not included above include many from the United States including those from Chronicling America , Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, and some others. Their United Kingdom newspapers are the same as those in The British Newspaper Archive, and their ones in other countries are mostly from NewspaperArchive.
Gale owned by Cengage is only available through libraries. It includes newspapers from at least the United States and United Kingdom. Your library may have access or you can pay to subscribe. NewsBank not included above includes newspapers from the United States and is only available through libraries.
They also run NewsLibrary. Accessible Archives not included above includes United States newspapers from the 18 th and 19 th centuries. East View not included above , includes news from mostly non-English-speaking countries.
The port state gets only recognised if the uC gets reset. I'm just starting with PIC microcontrollers, and this was a great help for me. Your instructions were clear, so I was able to find everything I needed in the datasheet, to modify your code. Thanks for this great instructable! PIC microcontrollers are a very useful and versatile tool for use in many electronic projects. They are very inexpensive and easy to find. They are also very powerful and many are capable of speeds up to 64 MIPS using the internal oscillator block, about 16 times faster than most comparable AVR microcontrollers.
PICs are also easy to program, however getting the project set up can some times be tricky. These instructions will walk through the process of setting up the software, creating a new project, and programming some very simple functions to test the configuration and ensure everything is working. They are designed to be very open ended; after the project is created and the basics are finished the reader is encouraged to explore all the features and extras not covered in these instructions.
Also you will find that these instructions will start out walking through step by step, but as the instructions near the end the reader is encouraged to explore other ways of accomplishing the tasks and make the project their own. What you will need To build a project with a PIC microcontroller only requires a few items. Obtained from Microchips website. Microchip allows students with valid. There are also other programmers which will work just as well; however, this is the best one for starting out.
Before doing any programming the first step is to build the hardware. Although the PIC18F portfolio is very large, many of the chips have several commonalities. For detailed pin-outs of the PIC microcontroller see the "Pin Diagram" section in your devices datasheet. Connect a 0. Leave pin 6 of the PICkit 3 unconnected.
Connect any analog inputs to pins with ANx functionality where x is a number. Connect any digital inputs or outputs to pins with Rxy functionality where x is a letter identifying the port, and y is a number identifying the bit. You may find it easier to program the PIC if you have sketched down a schematic of your circuit.
This step will explain how to get these tools and ensure they have been installed correctly. Note: If you are using Windows 8 you may need to run the installers in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
If it is listed select OK and move on the next step. If it is not listed ensure that instillation has completed, and click Scan for Build Tools button. If still not listed, look on Microchips forum for help with your specific problem. In this step we will create a new project based on a template from Microchip. Before we can get started programming we need to set the build parameters. Create Configuration Right click on the project name in the projects tool bar.
Total time to take apart 5 minutes. On putting it back together, it took me an hour! Keep in mind this is the lightsaber I assembled. I had hemostats holding wires in place while I used a needle nose pliers to manuever the connectors and plug parts together.
I had so many wires going every which way that I forgot what goes to what! Thank goodness I thought ahead and color coded everything all negative wires are black, clash sensor is orange wires, speaker wire is brown, switch wires are yellow, etc. While working I looked at my wife and asked her "Why do you let me do nutty things like this?!
It is tricky and it is confusing and it can get frustrating. Just step back, take a deep breath and try again when you have cooled off. Tip 2 years ago. Reword "how to make" to "how to assemble".
I see no scratch building here Reply 7 months ago. You really want to build a lightsaber from scratch? Do you just have a mountain of money and an eternity of time lying around? Easy Peasy. Don't try to build a lightsaber using a car door and a blow torch.
While I feel the reply to Kalmsean is a bit of necroposting the original comment was 2 years ago and I decided to ignore it , I feel both commenter may have over-generalized a little. Kennyisnothere, is coming to my defense, i feel.
Although, i would very much like to see someone build a lightsaber from a car door. Kalmsean missed the part about the FACT that the example lightsaber is partly made out of a chromed brass segment of pipe meant to be used under Bathroom Sinks. And really, there is no reason why I could not have made the whole thing out of that sink pipe.
It would have simply added a couple hours to the build time and probably cost less. Now, Kennyisnothere's comment of "mountain of cash" is not correct either. And hardware store lightsabers can be made in an afternoon. Lightsaber building is a spectrum just like life. There are no absolutes. Compromises have to be made in accordance to each persons technical ability and financial ability. I build lightsaber's out of hardware store parts and I also bought a SaberTrio Reaver recently.
I see nothing wrong with either method, or any combination of the two extremes. If you give a damn about quality or dignity, do NOT buy anything from Ultrasabers. Their soundboards are very outdated and ridiculously overpriced, and the owner is infamous for paying and treating his employees like dirt.
Reply 8 months ago. Thank you for your input. They have indeed declined in quality, customer service and community relationship. When I first made this instructable many, many years ago they were ok. I was actually going to be in Houston on business a couple of years ago and contacted them saying I wanted to buy a lightsaber and pick it up at their place of business their shipping cost is unreasonable, imho.
I got a email reply saying they don't want any customers showing up on their property. The response was borderline rude. I could say the same about another company whose name i will not say cough, SF.
At least SF wants you to go to their physical store. The Customer Saber Shop is still my first go-to place to buy lightsaber parts. They have yet to let me down. Question 9 months ago. Where did you buy the quick connects? I am new to this so any resources of where I can find more information would be great! Answer 9 months ago. Tip 11 months ago. Reply 11 months ago. I have a SaberForge. See picture. Reply 1 year ago. They have kits that are two lightsabers that connect to make a staff.
Normally with a quarter twist locking retention. But from my experience the connection in the middle is not tight and rattle a little. The also have kits where the two halves are connected by a threaded center adapter. This is more secure but you can forget about quickly transforming from staff to dual wield and vice versa. No, although that is a good alternative. I am sure it is using a transistor or mosfet to handle the current load on those sound boards. Question 1 year ago on Step 1.
I plan to build my own but do you sell any of your sabres to use as a model to understand how to fit it together? Answer 1 year ago. If you buy one of the kits from sellers like TheCustomSaberShop or Saberforge, it makes fitting things together much easier. But yes, i have two lightsabers I am willing to sell, one red, one blue. They are a matched set - one etched Jedi, one etched Sith. With crystal chamber, sound, flash on clash, rechargeable Li-Ion.
But I find most people don't want to pay the price. Is there any other part that can replace this? IF so how should i attach it to my sink tube hilt? Reply 5 years ago.
No it is not split from the main led. Here is another couple photos for your interest. Reply 4 years ago. I cut the corners with a hacksaw then used a dremmel drum sander and sanded the edge until the heatsink was round, or a close approximation of round.
I then drilled and tapped the sides and held it in place with screws. Introduction: Build a Lightsaber. By MrTinkerer Follow. More by the author:. Well, if you have the money and the luck, Then the Crystal Focus is the way to go. You also have a plastic "blade". Ohh, and wire.
A spool of it. Where it makes sense, go ahead and solder up parts and wires together. Reconnect the wires. Thank goodness I thought ahead and color coded everything all negative wires are black, clash sensor is orange wires, speaker wire is brown, switch wires are yellow, etc While working I looked at my wife and asked her "Why do you let me do nutty things like this?!
