Someone made an instructable and used Dave's pic's
« on: April 08, 2015, 07:14:47 am »
Someone made an instructable and used Dave's pic's from the video when he was describing benchtop power supplies. The user misspelled Dave's name (to me that is the worst part) I wasn't aware if Dave knew that the pic's were being used. I know I would like to be asked if someone uses my pic'sand name without permission.

Here is the link. http://www.instructables.com/id/Perfect-lab-bench-power-supply/

I'd consider Dave being described as "a professtional electrian" a bigger insult  :palm:

 I wouldn't be that concerned. I'm more concerned with the muppet stating he used a plastic lunch box to effect "double insulation", but he's cut a hole in the top for the transformer to poke out of.

Repeat after me : "There is no cure for stupid"

The good old 'tupperware' project box.... Who didn't start building projects into those boxes?  8)
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

If anyone with appropriate logins to comment on instructables wants to, Dave's original design was eevblog.com episodes #221 and #222.

I don't mind at all. The person is genuine and not out to make money from it. A link would have been appreciated of course.

Lack of self-criticism, much? :-//
I wouldn't dare call any of my creations perfect.
<fellbuendel> it's arduino, you're not supposed to know anything about what you're doing
<fellbuendel> if you knew, you wouldn't be using it

If a live wire comes loose inside the box and contacts that transformer core, there might just be.

It's rather terrifying that he calls himself an electrician.
