Thread: April 12, 2014 Chicago-land Str8 Rzrs Club Meeting set

I'm trying/hoping to set up a live video feed from my microscope to a digital camera to a video screen. I have two cable options: one that feeds to a USB end and one that feeds to three HDTV ends. That latter look like old stereo cables and there are three of them--one each of red, yellow, and white. Both cables are only three feet long.

If Bob or someone else can provide a small monitor with USB input or a small TV that would fit on a table-top, then I might be able to get live viewing under the scope. This would make it easier for everyone to see what we're talking about.

Edit: I know nothing about modern televisions. I've never bought a television in my life because I realized something early on--if you see a TV on the curb the day after Christmas, you can have yourself a perfectly good TV. Anyway, I know nothing about any TV made after about 1980. So I don't know about their inputs but I spoke with someone today and was told the cable I have is for RCA inputs. Apparently the more modern TVs have HDMI inputs, so is THAT the cable that I should buy to accomplish this?

I have a USB microscope I was going to bring also along with my lap top. So you can use my scope or yours, doesn't matter. I also have pinning supplies, I'll bring them along so we'll have them if needed! anythng else send me an email..@ [email protected]
Thanks for doing this, I'm really looking forward to this.
Allan

Please bring it and tables and chairs

I have a 6x3 folding table and am bringing 4 more chairs! If you need more let me know ASAP tomorrow morning. I'll grab them from work on the way out to you!

I made it to the motel in Chicago so I am only about 10 minute drive from the meet-up. I'll see everybody in the morning!

Late night traveler ehh! Hope you're able to get some rest...

Ron,
Many thanks for your dedication and sharing of the vast knowledge you bring to the table. I appreciate you coming all the distance to share stories, razors, hones, strops, brushes, soaps, and many other shaving related items. You make our meetups very successful.

Best Regards,
Chicago-land Str8 Rzrs Club

To the Chicago-land Str8 Rzrs club members,
I hope you all got as much out of the meetup as I did. Thanks to everyone who brought food, snacks, beverages, tables, chairs, etc. We all helped make the meetup successful. I loved stropping, polishing, honing, using the microscope on Allan's computer. Watching everyone with great work with passion on our hobbies was very satisfying to me. Looking forward to next meetup. I will assist with whomever would like to take some reigns and host. You were all so nice and everyone brought so much diversity, made for a great day. Keep shaving and wish you all a great summer.

I brought too much stuff again. We did not use most of it again. We did not cover everything we planned to cover again. I talked too much again.
But,
Bob was a great host again.
I got to meet new and old friends again.
I had fun again.
And,
I look forward to doing it again!

Every time we meet, I accomplish at least one feat that I've never managed before. That alone makes it successful.

But I also get to play with like 50 things I've never played with before. And that makes it _so cool_.

Thanks to Gonzo for hosting again, and to all who came. Thanks too to Stirling's, Mike's Natural Soaps, and Mama Bear for providing soap samples!
