Thats a craftsman Infared temp gun..

As i have learned it is susceptible to radio interference in the 75mhz range... I was casually checking the temps of my rf module on my M8, when i read 300*+!!!!:surprised::gasp:

Needless to sat i almost threw the transmitter, i quickly turned it off and checked temps again- they had plummeted to a managable 114*. Then of course i had to turn it back on and see if it would do the same, it did and temp gun indicated 300 degrees. so... i did what any Rc'er would do- stick there finger on it... and since it didnt melt flesh i was pretty confident that it wasnt 300 degrees :lol:. Does anyone else have problems like this?

Since they use infrared light, they may be susceptible to error in direct sunlight, or any light source heavy in infrared light (not UV). Course, it also depends on the angle the light hits the object and makes its way to the temp sensor...

i wouldnt have thought of that but i was running at 7pm eastern time, it was down right dark out:yes:

thats why I always wear a belt....

:neutral:

was that a failed black joke?:rofl:

I'm kinda confused by the belt comment too - figured it was a provate joke and didn't want to look dumb by asking. :oops:

you almost scared your pants off.

so he was saying he always wears a belt so his pants dont fall off

right?:neutral:

You got it!

I often read the thread titles and immediately think of something funny to say, but do not bother, as I am not the first to post and often it would not make much sense...

Good one Harold!

still bears the question....

...Was that a black joke:angel::lol:

Was the belt black? If so, then yes, it was!

im wearing basketball shorts but i am a 2nd degree blackbelt in Tang Soo Do

lets see some of your moves!

hold on, i will just walk throught the computer and do a personal demonstration:lol:

ill be waiting to kick some a$$:na::na:

haha thats twice in a day you almost lost your pants... way to go!

you wont see me, and then YAHHHHHHHH Round house to the jugular... :lol:

Thats why I use the temp guns that can be programmed to measure certain surfaces with program changes. A temp gun that measures all surfaces temps w/o having to change settings isnt to accurate in my opinion from what Ive seen and used compared to specific programmed ones. Im happy to see it was just a glitch.:yes:

Ben you seem to lose your pants alot dont you.... Better start the duct tape therapy.:lol:

duck tape eh? i use that stuff for everything, bu ti use lime green duck tape,

good comeback! I was referring to the title of the thread

hahaha, i was a little on the slow side, :lol:

^ for once eh? im usually the slo one
