Hi there, I'm Jay Jay. My real name is John Elliot V, but never mind that.

I run this wiki to keep notes about some of my projects related to my electronics video blog In The Lab With Jay Jay which is on YouTube over here: youtube.com/@InTheLabWithJayJay

The show's website is here: www.inthelabwithjayjay.com

If you need to get in touch see my contact info.

If you're looking for content in this wiki start at the Main Page where you will find a list of current projects and other material.

I made some notes for myself under conventions.

The admin documentation is here: MediaWiki:Admin (for administrators only).

Thanks for your interest and your support!

Oh, and speaking of support, if you'd like to support this wiki or my video blog you can do that here: patreon.com/c/JohnElliotV

Notes for Maxitronix kits videos.

Maxitronix kits preparation

Open a new instance of Kdenlive and File -> Save As to create a new project in charisma:/home/jj5/video/project/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss/

If you haven't already scanned the manual then do that on 'hawk' and transfer the scanned pages to charisma:/home/jj5/video/scan/

Find the manual scan in: charisma:/home/jj5/video/scan/ and move it into the project folder charisma:/home/jj5/video/project/yyyy-mm-dd-hhmmss/

Crop the scan into three files:

• Maxitronix-20in1-10-instructions.jpg
• Maxitronix-20in1-10-schematic.jpg
• Maxitronix-20in1-10-wiring.jpg

Drag and drop the three JPEGs onto 'jj5-maxi' on the 'charisma' desktop.

File the link in the 'lab' folder in Firefox so it can be found on 'proviso'.
