On the Yaskawa VFD I am using, there are registers that can be changed to
alter the function of the run & fwd/rev inputs, so the names really are
silly.
There are a large number of those registers that change a bunch of things.
It took me several days for me to find the ones I needed to tweek.

if you just need to translate a section about some particular register
you're interested in, just cut and paste into the direct translation box.
Otherwise, download and split the Chinese doc and then upload

We just switched to lead-free this school year, and I have been very happy
with FCT SN100C type solder (both wire and paste), and NC26 no clean flux.
I ordered it from Pacwest Supply, but I have no idea whether you can get
FCT products in Sweden.
I discovered that applying a little dab of the

Nicklas,
I wrote you to get a little block of colophonium rosin for violins from

Yes, people who complain about the metric system apparently don't realize
that they are using it without even knowing it. The United States adopted
the metric standard for the inch in 1959.
All of our customary units are now defined in terms of the metric system.
The call is coming from inside

Last time I succeeded but this time only reseller I know about Elfa I failed

there is only a little bit left. Companies outside Sweden send by air freight
And by the way, (maybe already mentioned?), the inch used to vary in length
until it was defined as a function of the metre.
So the Americans are working in metric, but converted by 2.54 ...

Andy,
the use of those length units depends on the circle who uses them.
Woodworkers use cm, metalworkers mm, opticians micrometers, nuclear
scientists nanometers. The aim is to leave off unused zeroes, either in
front or after the decimal point. Hectoliters are the most important
measure of

I think that there are / were several different ones on eBay. So experience
