Environmental Information

Contrary to the common idea, products in plastic materials are highly ecological for the reason that they can be recycled (with the exception of polyurethane, little used in Kartell products). Thus, Kartell products can be easily recycled. In order to simplify the recycling process, the various components of Kartell products can be easily separated and reduced to elements made of one single material. Moreover, the plastic parts of each product carry, clearly printed, an identification mark to determine the correct classification of the different kinds of plastic and their effective recycling.

Smooth Solutions Medical Aesthetics uses laser technology  to treat Telangiectasia, also known as “spider veins” or “blue veins.”

Spider veins that appear on the face or legs and can be either congenital or appear as part of the aging process.

Laser technologies heat and destroy vessel walls while sparing surrounding tissue. In addition, a scanning device allows for quick and safe treatment of larger lesions such as rosacea.

Improvement is gradual and optimal results can take up to eight weeks. Anesthesia is not required, but patients will feel a hot and tingling sensation during the treatment. Side effects are minimal, although redness and minor inflammation may persist for a few hours.

Last but not least, we offer cosmetic vein treatments using Sclerotherapy–a minimally invasive new product from Merz Aesthetics.

Description: This new version adds 2 standoff holes as well as an extra decoupling capacitor. The ADXL345 is a small, thin, low power, 3-axis MEMS accelerometer with high resolution (13-bit) measurement at up to +-16 g. Digital output data is formatted as 16-bit twos complement and is accessible through either a SPI (3- or 4-wire) or I2C digital interface.

The ADXL345 is well suited to measures the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion or shock. Its high resolution (4 mg/LSB) enables measurement of inclination changes less than 1.0 degrees;.

Several special sensing functions are provided. Activity and inactivity sensing detect the presence or lack of motion and if the acceleration on any axis exceeds a user-set level. Tap sensing detects single and double taps. Free-fall sensing detects if the device is falling. These functions can be mapped to one of two interrupt output pins. An integrated, patent pending 32-level first in, first out (FIFO) buffer can be used to store data to minimize host processor intervention. Low power modes enable intelligent motion-based power management with threshold sensing and active acceleration measurement at extremely low power dissipation.

Get Started with the ADXL345 Guide

  • 2.0-3.6VDC Supply Voltage
  • Ultra Low Power: 40uA in measurement mode, 0.1uA in standby@ 2.5V
  • Tap/Double Tap Detection
  • Free-Fall Detection
  • SPI and I2C interfaces

Customer Comments

  • The Arduino advanced example code that is used in the SparkFun Quickstart Guide tutorial is working fine but I had some issues getting data with the Processing advanced example code. I had to change line 17 in the processing code to fit my port:

    String portName = Serial.list()[1];

    String portName = Serial.list()[2];

    because the COM port that my Arduino enumerated to on my computer was the third listed port in the array. You can always test this out by opening the serial terminal on Arduino and try to open the COM ports in the list with the Processing. This will give you an error stating the the COM port is being used in Processing because Arduino is using the UART.

    • Checking with someone else around SparkFun that has more experience with Processing, he states that it might be that the data being sent from your Arduino might be too fast for Processing to handle. We noticed that it was getting stuck in the while loop and was not able to check the if statement with “myPort.available() > 0”. Placing a println() function for debugging slowed it down enough where you can see the output on the display window. Try testing the advanced processing code with a println() function by adding it to line 58:

           if(myPort.available() > 0)

          println("testing2");          //add this line to line 58
          if(myPort.available() > 0)

      By adding the print line, the code was able to respond better and output to the display window after tapping the accelerometer.

  • So I just realized that this chip needs to run at 3.3 v, I have been running it at 5 v for months. After switching it to 3.3 the z-axis only reports positive numbers, the other two axes are fine. Any idea why this is happening?

  • nice product. Worked fine

  • Has anyone gotten this to run on an Arduino Micro?

  • I just finished a rich, interactive register map on the I2Cdevlib project device page for the ADXL345 here:

    My goal is to provide an easy, intuitive reference for working with this and other devices, and ultimately to make it easy to port (or generate) device control code across multiple platforms. Right now there is Arduino library and example code, but others are not far away.

  • I have interfaced this accelerometer to my atmega1280 board (not arduino). Written program in atmel studio 6. I have configured it for 3200hz data output rate, fifo bypass mode, using full resolution and range is +-2g. I am getting values ranging from about -255 to +255 (only gravity acting, not any additional acceleration). Am I getting right value range? Or is there any way to get more resolution? And when still data is fluctuating +-5. Is this normal?

    • Accelerometers are notoriously noisy sensors, +-5 is not anything to write home about, you could try adding another small 1uF - 10uF cap to the power to see if it helps, but the wind blowing on your house with a wobbly table could make it wander still.

      Gravity being 1G, my guess is that your reading of +-255 is a bit low, With 12-bit resolution (this chip states 13-bit) you should get a total range of 4096, which is +-2048. Unless I’m mistaken you should be seeing +-1024 from the effects of gravity (Half the total range of 2g).

      Edit: After looking at the datasheet, you’ll find that the higher bit resolution is for the higher ranges. For the 2g range it’s going to get 10-bit resolution (1024 steps) which is +-512. In that case, gravity should give a reading between +-255, which is spot on with what you’re showing.

  • Is there anyway to communicate with multiple ADXL345 via the same i2c bus? I am trying to communicate with 5 of these sensors

    Thank you

    • Unfortunately by setting the “ALT ADDRESS” pin either high or low, you’re only able to select between 2 addresses, making more than 2 chips coexist on the I2C lines impossible. I haven’t looked to see if there are different versions at Mouser or Digikey that will allow different addresses to choose from, but it is a possibility.

  • You can find demo code using a sparkfun ADXL345 accelerometer breakout board with Tiva TM4C123 micro and Beaglebone Black here.

    Also I have the demo’s on youtube.

    Most of the component are from sparkfun

    Good luck

  • Has anyone tried to interact with this breakout board via a bus pirate in SPI mode? I have connected the bus pirate to the ADXL345 breakout board and also connected a Saleae Logic Analyzer (e.g. I can see bus pirate driving SPI reasonably). The problem is I see no response from the ADXL345. The odd thing is when I toggle the power (bus pirate “W” and “w” command), the voltage varies between 3.3 and 2.5volts respectively. In other words, there appears to be some back current. I have tired this on two different ADXL345 breakout boards with the same results.

    While I see lots of code using this device in I2C mode, I find very little on using in via SPI. Anybody have any insights into what is happening,…why the odd back current on Vcc when powered off?

    BTW I am able to successfully interact with a LIS3DH accelerometer in SPI mode just fine with this same bus pirate.

  • I have been working with this thing. and even when I put it in sleep mode it seems to draw 53uA no matter what. When I set the bandwidth register to reduce it to 3Hz sampling(23uA) according to the data sheet it is at 72uA @3.1V. Can anyone tell me why this thing is chewing up the mysterious 50uA?

  • Ok got a weird question - I’ve been playing around with this sensor for awhile and was wondering if there was anyway to interpret the interrupt functions (specifically the free fall detection) without using a microcontroller.

    Ideally I’d like to set the limits for free fall in the register using a mcu, disconnect the mcu, then be able to use the interrupt pin as a control (i.e. pin goes high -> turn on led or whatever, pin goes low -> turn off led). I’m thinking set up could be similar to how you initially set the time on a rtc then as along as you keep it powered it keeps an accurate time, but I’m not sure how reading and translating the interrupt register would work…

  • I have no issues running the Arduino Basic example and get ~128DN on the Z-axis which corresponds to 1g. When I modified the example code to switch to +/-8g, I get nearly 0 DN on all axis and once every 100 measurements I see a 256 DN. All I changed was line 38 from 0x01 to 0x10. Has anyone seen this problem?

  • Im confused, which is more sensitive 250g or 2g? Sorry if the question sounds dumb!

  • hello, my name is Luis. I have a problem with arduino. I like to know if there is an ADXL345 updated library for the current version of Arduino. because i used the ADXL345 library for the arduino 022, but it does not function with a program that it was done in Arduino 022.

  • Hi I was wondering if someone managed to connect the sensor in 3 wire spi mode. I tryed to set the SPI pin on the 0x31 register (0x28). And it works in 4 wire only. Btw, what is that big capacitor for?

  • i accidently connected my adxl345 to 5V and now all I get is 0,0,0 readings.. Does this mean I burnt the board? Is there any way to check?

  • So I’m looking at potentially using this to monitor vibration on something being machined but I’m concerned about the output. The max frequency I expect to see on my part is 1500 Hz and the ADXL can go up to 3200 Hz so I’m covered on Nyquist Rate there but I’m concerned about the Arduino. Given that the processor is 16 MHz and it takes a good number of instructions to poll all the registers and write them to an SD-Card or something, I’m thinking the controller won’t be fast any.

    Without going through the math of operations/cycle, does anyone think this is a reasonable frequency to use this application at?

  • Could anyone help me understand a bit what is coming out of the sensor when you read the interrupt register? Looking at the advanced code I see this line: if(values[0] & (1<<5))tapType=2; which I don’t fully understand. Is it shifting the values variable 5 bits left? For example 10001000 becomes 1000000 and if that is nonzero the statement is true? Still trying to wrap my head around this kind of stuff so any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

    • Yay bitwise logic! It’s great for setting and testing bits, but until you get used to it, it can look pretty opaque.

      The & operator is AND. It takes two one-bit inputs (1 or 0). The result will be 1 (true) only if both inputs are 1. The whole truth table is:

      0&0=0, 0&1=0, 1&0=0, 1&1=1

      The above operations are on single bits. You can do the same thing with bytes (8 bits), by doing the above single-bit operations on the columns. Here we’ll AND “01011010” and “00010000”

      The result, “00010000”, has a one ONLY in the column(s) where the inputs were BOTH 1 in the SAME column.

      So now we have an easy way to test whether there is a 1 at a certain spot in a byte! The code you posted makes “00010000” by shifting “00000001” left by five (they could have just as easily specified the resulting number), then ANDs that against the register you’re checking. If the register has a 1 in that spot, the result will be “00010000”, if there’s a 0 in that spot, the result will be “00000000”. The final thing to know is that if() will evaluate to true if ANY of the bits are 1, and will return false if all the bits are 0. And there you are!

      We’ve got a tutorial that covers this, and you can find lots of material on the web. Hope this helps, ask if you have any questions!

      • Sorry to just be getting back to you on this (I didn’t see I had a reply…) but this explains it perfectly! Thanks for all the help!

  • What do the capacitors on here do? I’m looking to use the ADXL345 on its own, and I want to wire it similar to the breakout board.

    • In electronics, capacitors are really useful to remove “electronics noise” on your circuit. They are call decoupling capacitors. Please open page 19 of the datasheet and read the paragraph.

      A 1 μF tantalum capacitor (CS) at VS and a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor (CIO) at VDD I/O placed close to the ADXL345 supply pins is used for testing and is recommended to adequately decouple the accelerometer from noise on the power supply.

      Sparkfun followed the recommendations of the datasheet.

  • What the differences if i used this ADXL345 with ATmega328 or ADXL345 with PIC16F877A? what the best choice? with ATmega328 or PIC16F877A? (p/s: sorry for the stupid question. But I really need help. =p )

    Thank you.

    • You should use the MPU that you have more experience with. But if you have no clear winner, I’ll mention that if you set up the ATmega with the Arduino bootloader (or use an Arduino board), you’ll be able to use the Arduino “Wire” (I2C) library, which makes communicating with I2C sensors fairly painless.

  • How do I measure both the static and dynamic acceleration ? I can see that there is only one function which returns the acceleration. What does this function return? Static or dynamic acceleration ?

  • You should really add this github link to the documents of this page

    Works for me, remember to set the baud rate people ^^

  • Its been two months and i’ve had zero help on the problems regarding the arduino sample code… Why is it throwing out errors when i try to compile the script?

    • The “Example code” above is not Arduino code, it is straight C meant for WinAVR or other C compilers.

      For Arduino code, try the link to the Bildr tutorial, or the Quickstart guide.

      • Correction: the quickstart guide code has some syntax problems, sorry about that. The Bildr code does work, but first drag the “ADXL345” folder in the example zip to the/a “libraries” folder in your Arduino code directory. Then open Arduino and you should be able to run the “ADXL345_Example” code.

        • Additional: the Quickstart guide code does compile, but you need to download it directly from the link near the top of the guide, rather than cutting and pasting from the scroll-boxes further down in the guide.

  • I’m having a problem with this? in arduino it says:

    class ADXL345 has no member names read_accel class ADXL345 has no member named set_bw

    even though it’s plainly obvious it’s there in the cpp boolean ADXL345::set_bw(byte bw_code)

    Can anyone shed any light as to why these arduino tutorials don’t work as they’re supposed to?

  • Has anyone had trouble getting this to work on their Arduino Mega 2560?

    I’ve hooked it up to a duemilanove and an Uno using the Bildr tutorial and printing the x, y, z values to the Serial interface no problem.

    When I hook it up to my Mega it just gives me 0’s, locks up the board or etc.

    • The SPI and I2C pins are in different locations on the Mega; check the Arduino library reference pages for the proper locations.

      • Yeah, on the Mega, the SDA and SCL pins are labeled very well as opposed to the analog pins on the Uno and older versions. That doesn’t seem to be my problem unfortunately :(

        I’m getting a 0 reading for all of the axis on the mega while on the Uno I’m getting what appear to be the correct readings. Almost as if the I2C isn’t working well.

  • If you just need a “bare bones” i2c example, check this out

  • I am using this sensor for my project. I wish to ask how many ohm of pull-up resistor I should use if my design is for I2C with 3Vdd supply and alt address/SDO had been solder to the ground.

  • Hi. I’m new to this but I have to build a device which can measure Impact en Temperature. I would like to know if I can combine this device with a transmitter to send wireless data to a receiver and if I can also combine this device with a temperaturemeter.
    Help would be welcome. Thanks you

  • 1) When connecting a 3V device to a 5V I2C bus, is it necessary to use a level-shifting device such as a PCA9306?
    2) Pardon my noob question, but is there a footprint for this breakout board other than the Eagle file that I can’t read? I’d like to know where the mounting holes are so I can design a carrier board before buying one.

    • To answer your first question, many times it’s OK to connect a 3.3V I2C device to a 5V system. If you do it right, the I2C part will never see 5V. The important notes are:
      A. The 5V system should be able to properly read 3.3V logic levels as H and L (most can).
      B. Power the I2C board with 3.3V.
      C. Tie your I2C bus pullup resistors to 3.3V.
      D. Make sure your 5V system is properly configured. The I2C pins should be floating or grounded, never H (5V). The Arduino does this properly, with the small exception of turning on the internal pullups to 5V by default. In practice this isn’t a huge problem as the internal pullups are very weak (20K) and will be overpowered by your ~5K pullups to 3.3V.
      As for the location of the mounting holes, we highly recommend EAGLE (the free version will open all our files), but here’s a dimensioned image that should help.

      • Thanks for the diagram, I had actually guessed within .05 from the helpful rulers in the product photo. I will give Eagle a try for my next round of designs.
        The PicAxe-based system I’m designing will have other 5V I2C devices on the same bus, so the lines are tied to 5V with 10K resistors. A 75 cent PCA9306 seems like an easy solution from my hobbyist perspective.
        BTW I’d buy PicAxe 28x2’s from you if you stocked the SMD version.

  • Accelerometer or Gyro? I’m kinda new but have read the details on both and still not sure which is better for my project. I’m mounting the sensor on top of a tripod detect whether or not the top is swaying. I don’t need direction indication, just raw movement detection, but the movement may be slight and smooth (swaying, not knocks). Which would be best or is there another type of sensor better suited for it? Thanks for any suggestions!

  • hey im pretty new to all this stuff… i need to just read a binary value of activity or inactivity off the chip… i know the chip has the option for set points by setting the max and min values for activity in the register as well as the sample time… but i am confused as to what they mean by register… does the sensor have any memory where i can hard set these and connect it directly to a transmitter, or do i need to keep the micro controller in the loop and reset the registers every time i power down the device?

  • does anyone know of a way to get more than two of these on just one i2c bus?
    Thank you,

  • Nice improvement with the mounting holes, and putting the silk screen on the top. Just so everyone knows, the old one was ~1/2in wide, so this one is only a tiny bit bigger.

  • Why is there a via included between the IC and INT1 and INT2?

    • I believe it ties the ground at pin 10, 2, 4 and 5 to the ground plane on the back of the board. You can’t see the rest because it’s under the chip.

Worked on breadboard, but not when wired

I soldered the header pins to the board, plugged it into the breadboard, wired to the Arduino according to the instructions in the tutorial and got some nice readings. I wanted to move the accelerometer off the breadboard. So, I hooked-up some wires to the header pins and nothing worked. I tested the wires with my meter and everything seems to be working fine, but I only get 0,0,0 readings for the x,y,z values. I spent countless hours googliing this problem and apparently other folks have this same problem. It turned out that this was just another frustrating Arduino/sensor project that is glitchy.

Hi, Sorry, sounds like something is wrong in your setup. Since it worked in the breadboard, the sensor and code should be good. It is possible in changing the wiring, you may have damaged the sensor. However wiring a device should not be a issue or change the functionality if done correctly.

Works well as a heel indicator for my boat

Once I got the math right and added some filtering this worked very well. I can get readings within a degree.

Here is the math in case anyone is interested

    double sq_term_y = sqrt(xx*xx + zz*zz);
    angle2 = 180 * atan2(yy,sq_term_y) / M_PI;

You might have to switch the terms around depending on the orientation of the device.

Here is the filter

double filter2pole(int index, double input){
static double filter1[3] = {0,0,0};
static double filter2[3] = {0,0,0};
double tc = .4;
double feedback = -.3;
double gain = 1 / (1 + feedback);
double sumOut = input + feedback * gain * filter2[index];
double difference = sumOut - filter1[index];
if (abs(difference) > 5){
    filter1[index] = input / gain;
    filter2[index] = input / gain;
else {
    filter1[index] += tc * (difference);
    difference = filter1[index] - filter2[index];
    filter2[index] += tc * (difference);
return gain * filter2[index];

I set the BW to .78 Hz which was good for my 1Hz update rate.

The only thing that took a bit of time to figure out is that the address select line floats low. I added a pullup resistor to get the default address (1D) but next version I will just pull it down and use the alt address

Great Breakout

Personally, for my uses (purely registering hits and taps) the MMA8452Q breakout is a better deal, however this is a great breakout board with excellent accuracy and resolution. As a word of warning, I would protect is with a logic level shifter instead of using 5v logic but 3v3 VCC as recommended in the tutorial.

Works great with 500ms Delay

Prototyped successfully with code provided. But got 0,0,0 when moved off the breadboard. Same story with Sparkfun Redboard and UNO r3. Now working solid with a 500ms delay at the end of the setup section. I believe this is a vital modification to the basic example program.

Hi, thanks for the tip. We’ll take a look into this and make changes as needed. Happy hacking!

Finally it's working

It took a long time to reach my address. Anyway now its working with the basic code without adding any 500 ms delay (As one user reviewed to add 500ms in set up block. Thank you. #DIY

I am looking forward to develop FFT for vibration analysis with the same ADXL345 SPI Arduino R3 in the Mc.

Shield project error !!!! NO I2C CAPABILITY !!!!

It was necessary to add three 730Ohm resistor on CS, SDA and SCL connections to be connected to VCC. This 3 cent error has became a 400USD cost for me. Because it makes impossible to use I2C communication with the board “AS IT IS PROPOSED”… CORRECT THIS PRODUCT! As it is is simply Junk! And also the customer service to describe this simple issue HAS BEEN SIMPLY OFFENSIVE!!! no where is possible to read how to slove the issue. I’ve been able to explain it in two rows INSTEAD! Was it diffcult? It doesn’t seem so to me! but I’ve losted 400 USD the same!

This product works fine over I2C. If you needed to add resistors, it sounds like you may be trying to run this from a 5V source, and it is a 3.3V board. I’ve searched your customer account, and can find no indication that you attempted to contact customer service or tech support. I would suggest getting in touch with our tech support team for guidance on the proper setup.

Accelerometer worked great. Basic code was a nice accessory but had some errors. It desperately needed Instructions on how to change the mode to 16 G’s. there is no way of knowing that I could tell. But overall it worked good.

Reliable building block

4 components, simple as that. using i2c sensing activity and freefall.

    I don't have a job or go to college or anything like that. I don't really have any friends I can see, and I don't have a girlfriend.

    I guess all I do is try and 'occupy' myself.. guitar, volunteer sometimes, do runs with others, go for walks, photography, talk online etc. But it stinks.. i'm so bored of my life.

    I don't know anyone who lives such a wierd life as me. To make it worse i'm 21. People would probably tell me to grow up. I hope to get a referral and try adderall or some amphetamine. Anti depressants did nothing for me. I need to wake from this slumber somehow. It's like my brain is asleep, or dead (probably).

    I can relate. Now that I'm officially disabled, my life has no clear purpose. The days run into each other. I sleep a lot, rest a lot, and spend some time online. The rest of my time is spent on mundane matters: errands, cleaning and the like. It's a strange existence.

    Luckily for me I have just started Uni so I have something to occupy my time and mind even if it is a couple of hours a day, but as soon as Im not there y whole time is spent trying to occupy myself, I literally just lie in bed on my laptop with the tv on and thats it. It makes me feel even worse x

    I go to High School and it's basically the only social activity I have. I don't have problems with anybody in particular, but nobody's really my friend. Then I come home and I usually don't do my homework nor do I study. I just play guitar and waste all of my time in my computer.

    I'm considering starting some new activity, though. Maybe it will indirectly lead me to meet new people. Have you tried starting some new activity that you've never done before?

    And then, when you go for walks, you can always invite someone you know. Then you could establish conversations with them, and while you don't have to rush anything, it could help you to make some progress.

    Photography may be a good way to meet new people, too. There are tons of people with the same insterests as you. I'm sure there are cool people in your town that you could get along with.

    I have the most empty, boring and pathetic life of anyone else here, believe me! I am 22 years old and much of my life has been wasted indoors on the TV or computer, and it still is. I won't even try to get a girlfriend or anything like that, it will just end in failure.

    Your life isn't boring compared to mine darkrider, I wish I could get over my depression and apathy and do the stuff you mentioned like running, photography, etc. I should be doing those things instead of living in my own prison. Your life compared to mine is quite interesting, it depends on who you compare yourself to I suppose. I have nobody inferior to compare myself to make myself feel better, but that's not a good thing to do anyways, to judge others based on their position on a "totem pole".

    Trust me, your life is not at all empty compared to mine, my life is truly, truly empty. And I don't feel like getting out of it either, the apathy and depression keep holding me back.

    This is the reason for my depression, why I fear the rest of my life will be nothing but pain. I feel that I have let my life get so empty and messed up that it can never get better, the effects are permanent so I wonder if I can improve my life and things can get better or if I should just end it now since I have let my life get so stale and moldy that I should just throw it into the trash where it belongs?

    I think I may have overplayed things slightly.

    With regards to the running.. i hope i can turn up and start doing that on some saturdays, but its only like 1 hour in a whole week. the photography thing.. i simply wonder around the park alone in the day, everyone is in school or at work, so its an equally lonely world.

    i should also mention i have shyness and a degree of social phobia, I get quite nerous around people my age. So whatever activities i do i usually end up quiet and alone, usually.

    Rahul, don't you go to university? At least you have that.. man i wish i did. I usually go to bed around 1am, get up at 12pm, wash, do nothing, bed, repeat... my life doesnt even exist.

    this is going to sound pathetic.. but im close to a couple of people off a forum (i met some on a meet up a while ago), and theres one woman i speak to a lot on msn, and we havent spoken much lately because she busy and I feel so alone and kinda screwed over. ive become depandant on online relationships for goodness sake. im even trying to not talk to her for a few days because i feel too 'easy'. i think im turning crazy. im just alone as always.

    anyway thanks for the replies. having over 10 replies doesnt make me feel quite as lonely, heh.

    I guess that is the positive outlook, and of course it feels hard seeing it that way right now. I think I am too depressed to even dream of the 'good life' anymore. I think the person inside me has given up after so long, that's why I go throughout the days feeling empty.

    I think the teenage years and early twenties are the most important period of development of the mind as well as the body, and i've spent the majority of that time alone. It's hard to build yourself up as a person when that person you were was broken a long time ago.

    I live an extremely empty life. I wake up, turn the computer on, and stay there from practically morning until night; only moving to get myself something to eat or drink.

    It's gotten worse over the course of the last couple of years. There were times when I'd go out maybe once or twice a week, but the more I got used to staying in, the more I kept doing it. I'm now afraid of leaving the house, and never do.

    Datura Well-Known Member

    I've lived an empty life most of my existence it seems. I stopped having friends at 13. There have been boyfriends here and there, and I have one now who I happen to live with. I've had mindless jobs in the past, but have been unemployed for over 2 years. I've dropped out of school 3 times. I have no car. My 'life' consists of getting up no earlier than 2pm, going online, and watching tv. I have no motivation to even go for a walk outside.
  18. ride26

    ride26 Member

    I'm 21 as well and I have the same feeling of emptiness that you describe. I go to both school and work full time, but I am in debt because of my stupid ass car that I bought 2 years ago. So I roll around in a nice car, but I'm broke as fuck.... extremely pathetic and I hate myself for it. I also pay for school and I have to pay my parents back for money they loaned me last year. I work my ass off for nothing because I still have zero money at the end of the week to do anything fun. It's not good. I wish I could start over and be in the position you are at. And by the way I don't have any friends or a girlfriend either.

    So here is some advice, don't be stupid with money if you already haven't. It will save you a lot of grief. If you buy a car, get the cheapest piece of shit you can. Don't take out any loans for anything either, not even school. They are not worth it.

    We both have plenty of time to get things right. Opportunities will come in our lifetime if we choose to act on them. Probably not tomorrow, because of the shitty economy, but we just have to wait it out. It's hypocritical of me to give this advice because I'd honestly rather be dead so I don't have to deal with this shit, but the time is going to pass either way. I always have the option to kill myself and I certainly will if I am in the same position as I am now in 5 years. And right now that is my only source of motivation to keep living.

    These are the "best years of your life" my motherfucking ass.

    Do you think you might be ADHD? That's typically what Adderall is used for. I don't think it does much for depression.

    FWIW, I'm carrying a diagnosis of ADHD-PI and take Adderall XR for it. I'd stay away from it, given a choice. It messes up your sleep patterns and in my case has given me an absolutely amazing case of constipation. Oh, and the teeth grinding. Can't forget that. Not a habit I'd ever had, but I started reflexively doing it within a week of going on the stuff.

    But I must admit it seems to have helped me be slightly better organized, either because the medicine works as advertised or because I now spend so much time on the can I can mentally review things with only limited distractions. :tongue:

    Also, not sure what things are like in the UK but in the US it seems to be considered some sort of controlled substance: Prescriptions cannot be automatically renewed, the shrink has to put his DEA code on the scrip or they won't accept it, and I need to show ID both when dropping off the scrip and picking it up. I've never had to go through so many hoops for a medicine before, or go through the SAME hoops every thirty days, like I do with this stuff.

    Thanks for the posts here. I'm thinking about you all as I read it I really am. I didn't think there was many on here who felt so alone.

    I went down to the run today but I was late (it was at 9am!), and they had already started a warm up lap, and I was too embarassed to turn the corner and introduce myself and join in (i'm quite shy). Of course this has led to a mini fall out with my parents, walking back to the car alone, and getting told I act like a little child, etc. All of this does nothing but enhance my depression and the feeling of being alone (and totally misunderstood by everyone).

    I know what you mean about money. I've still got my student loan (before dropping out), and extra on top from benefits, so i'm o.k with money. In fact money scares me.

    Oh yes.. "best years of your life". It is for everyone else my age.

how To Capture Ho-oh hint for Pokemon Crystal

how To Capture Ho-oh

People are wrong when they state "you must have Lugia and all Unown to catch ho-oh." It's all false! I captured ho-oh and all I needed was Entei Raikou and Suicune.

To capture ho-oh: immediately after catching entei,raikou, and suicune go back to Suicune was caught, Brass tower, talk to the monks one will give you a "Rainbow Wing" then, he will open a staircase the stairs lead to other floors get through them until you get to the roof.
Note: Ho-oh's on the roof he's level sixty and knows Fireblast, Recover, Sunny Day, and I forgot the last move.

    Jesse MacbethJesse Adam Macbeth (b. Jesse Adam Al-Zaid,[1] in 1984) falsely claimed to be an Army Ranger and veteran of the Iraq War. He lied in alternative media interviews that he and his unit routinely committed war crimes in Iraq.[2][3] Transcripts of the video were made in English and Arabic.[4] According to the U.S. Army, there is no record of Macbeth being a Ranger,[5][6] or serving in a combat unit: he was discharged from the service after having been declared unfit or unsuitable for the Army, or both,[7] before he could complete basic training.[8]

    After his release from the Army in 2004, Macbeth purported himself to be a veteran, telling war stories and garnering attention from mainstream,[9] alternative[10] and student media outlets. He joined Iraq Veterans Against the War in January of 2006,[11] and represented, or was scheduled to represent them publicly at various events throughout the country;[12][13][14] the organization has since said it does not endorse Macbeth or his accounts of military service.[11] Accounts in Macbeth's name appear on and, and both were used to post claims about military service in Iraq.[15] On September 21, 2007 Macbeth admitted in federal court that he had faked his war record. U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sullivan declared that Macbeth had been in the Army for just 44 days and had been kicked out as unfit.[16]

    [edit] Allegations and other claims
    Macbeth alleged the Iraq war atrocities in interviews posted to the Internet as web pages and video. He was featured in the 2006 PepperSpray Productions video, posted at, Jessie Macbeth: Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran.[2] A link to the video was posted May 21, 2006 on the community blog Metafilter.[17]

    [edit] PepperSpray Productions video
    The video begins with narration, explaining that Macbeth "...served in Iraq for 16 months before being wounded..."

    Afterward, Macbeth makes the following allegations, (approximate point in the video noted in parentheses):

    He and other U.S. Army Rangers were ordered " whatever it strike fear in the hearts of the Iraqis..." (1:07);
    He and other Rangers routinely executed children as part of the interrogations of their parents (6:15);
    He personally killed almost 200 men, women, and children, many at close range, and most or all noncombatants (7:30);
    He and other Rangers infiltrated a mosque, waited for about 200 worshipers to arrive and pray, slaughtered them with guns, ignited the bodies, hung them from the rafters, wrote anti-muslim graffiti on the walls, and left bodies in the streets in retribution for the March 31, 2004 mutilation, burning, and public display of American contractors' bodies in Fallujah (9:30);
    He and other Rangers shot and killed unarmed protesters and children who threw rocks (12:20);
    He personally killed a mother pleading for mercy, and her three children, including an infant, because he "had to."(16:05);
    At the end of the video, he comments that the mainstream media will not quote him, which is why independent media are necessary so that truth can be disseminated.[2]

    At present, no other known primary sources have described the atrocities that Macbeth describes, all of which are apparent violations of Geneva Conventions.

    The video repeatedly referenced Iraq Veterans Against the War, though the organization later stated that the use of its name was unauthorized.[11] It was removed from the site May 23, 2006 after Army spokesman John Boyce said Macbeth had never been an Army Ranger.[5][6]

    PepperSpray Productions has since issued a retraction statement, noting "when we learned that Macbeth's service records were fraudulent, we immediately pulled the video and are no longer distributing it."[18]

    Transcripts of the video were made in English and Arabic.[4]

    [edit] Uniform

    This photograph of Macbeth was featured in the Pepperspray Productions video, Jessie Macbeth: Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran.
    Macbeth's uniform as worn in the video was inconsistent with Army regulations,[19] and in some cases, inconsistent with his purported identity. Boyce is quoted in Stars and Stripes as saying "There are... numerous wear and appearance issues with the soldier's uniform – a mix of foreign uniforms with the sleeves rolled up like a Marine and a badly floppy tan beret worn like a pastry chef," Stars and Stripes also reported that Macbeth wore his beret with the insignia over the wrong eye.[5] His undershirt is black. The Army wears brown undershirts under their BDUs.

    [edit] interview
    Macbeth was quoted in an April 26, 2006 article as saying "We would leave the bodies in the streets and blame it on the Shi'ites or the Sunnis. [In Fallujah] we were ordered to go into mosques and slaughter people while they were praying." [3]

    Macbeth is also quoted as saying he was "stabbed many times," has shrapnel in his knee, has been shot in the back, and that he has received the Purple Heart. He also says his unit was the 3d Ranger Battalion.[3] The unit did not participate in the U.S. occupation of Fallujah. Macbeth also says he was "picked" for Ranger School.[3] Ranger School students are strictly volunteers.[20]

    The article was replaced May 26, 2006 with a statement rejecting "use of false statements in the mistaken belief that they can in some way strengthen opposition to the war."[21]

    [edit] Eastern Arizona Courier article
    The Eastern Arizona Courier reported on November 3, 2003 that Jesse MacBeth had returned 2 and a half months prior - roughly in late August of 2003, after sustaining a back injury. The article reported that MacBeth had been shot in the back by an M16 rifle while in an Iraqi tunnel, but that a Canadian nurse stitched him up and he continued fighting. (Canada was not a known participant in the Multinational force in Iraq at the time of the article's publication.) The article also says that he planned to attend a hearing that month about a medical discharge from the Army. There was no mention of stabbings or shrapnel in the article.[9]

    [edit] Army service and afterwards
    Macbeth's form DD-214, "Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty" record shows he entered U.S. Army service May 1, 2003 and separated from the Army June 13, 2003, without completing basic training, and with no authorization for decorations, medals, badges, citations or campaign ribbons.[8]

    The first known media report of Macbeth representing himself as an Iraq war veteran was the Eastern Arizona Courier article. An April 6, 2004 Arizona Indymedia article places him at the center of a dispute at a coffee shop near a campus of Arizona State University. Macbeth alleged that he was asked to leave the shop because he was wearing his uniform. The dispute eventually became a protest, covered in articles and editorials by the Arizona State University student newspaper, The State Press. An April 23, 2004 guest editorial attributed to Macbeth also appeared in The State Press about the protest and dispute, noting that he had already spent 16 months in Iraq. (The war's duration was only 13 months then.) The writer also asserted that he was about to be redeployed.

    On September 28, 2004, Macbeth was convicted of fraudulent use of a credit card in Graham County (Arizona) Superior Court. Court records pertaining to the case also indicate parole activity through May of 2006. [22]

    Macbeth joined Iraq Veterans Against the War in January of 2006, and represented, or was scheduled to represent them on several occasions. The group publicly severed ties with Macbeth on May 27, 2006, noting in a statement that "...Jesse is not what he represented himself to be."

    May 23, 2006, Pierce County, Washington Superior Court issues a bench warrant for Jesse Adam Macbeth. Underlying charges of violating a protective court order and fourth degree assault. [23]

    [edit] membership
    A user profile for "Jesse a Macbeth" listed among his ribbons a Bronze Star (without a valor device), a Purple Heart, an Army Good Conduct Medal, a National Defense Service Medal, an Army Service Ribbon, and an Overseas Service Ribbon. He also listed among his badges the Ranger tab, the Special Forces tab, two awards of the Combat Infantry Badge (CIB), two awards of the Combat Action Badge (CAB), A Parachutist Badge with three combat service stars, and a marksmanship award.[15]

    Decoration with both the CIB and CAB is possible under certain circumstances, though impossible without switching operational specialities. Decoration with two awards of the CIB is not possible without combat service prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Decoration with two awards of the CAB was not possible at the time of the profile's posting.[24] A Parachutist Badge with 3 combat stars is not possible without having served in Operation Desert Storm or an earlier conflict.

    On May 22, 2006, the profile had been updated to remove the decorations, though the profile still asserts service from 2001 to 2005 with the 3rd Battalion, 75th Infantry Regiment, an Army Ranger unit.[15] does not check the identities of any of its users; although the account is associated with Macbeth and features his photograph and mentions an Iraq Veterans Against the War affilitation, it is possible that the account was set up by someone else. The account has been active since 2005. also does not require proof of military service before professing veteran status. False or misleading statements of fact violate the user agreement.[25]

    [edit] Shadowhart on
    On March 24, 2006, a MySpace user Shadowhart (with first name Jesse) posted a blog entry describing the alleged atrocities in Iraq. Some of the details of the alleged mosque atrocity are different from the story related in the video.[26] does not check the identities of any of its users; although the account has posted a rendition of a military document associated with Macbeth, it is possible that the account was set up by someone else. Impersonation is a violation of terms of service.[27]

    [edit] Military discharge record user Shadowhart posted this form DD-214 purported to belong to Jesse Macbeth.On May 26, 2006, Shadowhart uploaded an image, which he purports to be Jesse Macbeth's DD-214, the Department of Defense discharge document which summarizes military service. Critics believe the document to be altered, citing misspellings and other inconsistencies.[28] (listing only a purple heart but no other ribbons or medals including the Army Service Ribbon which is awarded to any one who completes basic training)

    On May 27, 2006, QandO posted what it purports to be Jesse MacBeth's DD-214. The document indicates that MacBeth's discharge was an "entry-level separation."[8][29][30]

    Both documents say Macbeth's last duty station was 2d Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment, Basic Combat Training Brigade.

    Falsification of a military discharge certificate is a federal offense.[31]

    [edit] In custody
    Jesse Macbeth had a warrant summoned out for him which he was apprehended and booked November 16, 2006[32]. The Pierce County Legal Information Network Exchange lists 2 counts of felony domestic violence court order violation (held on $20,000 cash or bail bonds), 2 counts of assault in the fourth degree ($5,000 cash only bail, as well as being committed to custody) and 2 counts "other concurrent assault in the fourth degree charges", and interfering with the reporting of domestic violence (committed to custody). There were two other charges against Jesse Macbeth were violation of a no contact order and harassment (domestic violence), but were dismissed against him.

    [edit] Charge and guilty plea
    On Friday, May 18 2007, a criminal complaint was unsealed in the United States District Court in Seattle, Washington, charging Macbeth with one count of using or possessing a forged or altered military discharge certificate and one count of making false statements in seeking benefits from the Veterans Administration.[33] The complaint alleged that Macbeth posed as an Iraq war veteran and illicitly collected more than $10,400 in benefits.

    On June 7, 2007, Macbeth pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.[34] MacBeth was sentenced September 21, 2007, to 5 months in jail and three years probation.[35]

    Macbeth is the "Soldier" a "Party" is currently attempting to attack Rush Limbaugh on. While I listen to Rush, for entertainment purposes, this "Party" has put a lot of faith into the testimony of this "Soldier".

    If You're following the News, You've seen a "Party" dancing to cover up this blunder by attacking Rush's view of the Military. Rush loves the Military. Watch the Youtube video and listen to what he said. Ric

    Thanks I just don't get that wrapped up in "Parties" of either flavor.
    People who become followers of a "Party" tend to stop thinking for themselves.
    So news like this, which is a party war, does not affect the "Partiless", like me.

    I know it is sooooo easy for Republicans to call me a Lib and Democrats to call me a NEO... I just opt out of the whole fricken mess and follow my OWN beliefs.

    This is a silly story. It has no bearing on me, my country or my world. This proves my point. It matters to LIBS and to RUSH. I'm neither so I can sit here and drink a heineken in total peace. I know that must bug the shit out of you. Sorry.

    You would, or maybe wouldn't, be surprised at how many "Vietnam Vets" I have run across, who, after a little math, would have had to drop out of grade school to enlist.

    I don't care about the current rage over Rush. Much like Melbo I really don't care. Much more important things happening in this world to worry about these smoke and mirror stories.

    But that said, I find it reprehensible for anyone to lay claim to honors that only our military men and women deserve.

    Whether I agree with their mission or not, I respect and honor them for their service and sacrifice.

    Alabama Governor Riley signed a bill into law making Short Barreled Riffles and Shotguns legal to own. The law was signed on 4/14/2010 and becomes effective on 7/10/2010. If you have a NFA Gun Trust, there is nothing you need to do, to be able to purchase these items after 7/5/2010.
    This also means if you are going to travel to Alabama, you can use a Form 20 to bring your SBR or SBS to Alabama after 7/20/2010.

Genz Benz Shuttle Max 6.0 failure

    I was an authorized repair tech for Fender and many other companies until I retired in 2006.

    A local music store, a Fender dealer, took in a Shuttle Max 6.0 in trade, and it is severely faulting. I took it home to look at it.

    It passes no sound, and all status lights just flash, all together.

    Do I go through Fender to get service info...service manual, technical service bulletins, etc? I've been out of the loop for a few years.

    I'm hoping a knowledgeable TB tech can steer me in the right direction.

In search of a new dirt pedal

Discussion in 'Effects [BG]' started by sk8, Jan 9, 2014.

    I've done a lot of searching and research on here and YouTube etc but fancy a change

    I've recently been relying on my wren and cuff box of war for my dirt needs having junked my OD for pedalboard real estate but I'm missing it. As much as I love the fuzz I'd like some light and shade to go with it.

    My go to OD pedal was a TS808 monte allum modded SD1 which I had on my board for years and was what I tended to measure other OD's against. I'm not after a low gain OD, I want something with balls and probably verging on distortion. I've had the following

    TS9B bass tubescreamer - not enough gain
    TS808 Clone - not enough gain
    Mad Professor blueberry bass OD - to dark
    EBS metal Drive - very similar to the SD1 but didn't float my boat
    DHA VT1 Eq Bass Drive - didn't really like the OD
    subdecay super nova drive - something missing although a great pedal
    Catalinbread SFT
    Aguila Agro
    SFX red Dragon - to low gain
    TC rottweiller - to flabby on bass at higher settings
    TC dark matter
    TC Nova System
    Crowther audio Prunes and custard
    Tech 21 VT bass

    Think that's it!

    I'm thinking a main contender is the Dark glass B3k/B7k and the Joyo ultimate drive. I'm not after tube breakup necessarily but I'm not discounting it. The Nova drive could be another option.

    Looking for some ideas. Thanks in advance

    At $30 the Joyo is cheap to try. I just got one, and it'll be covering dirt on my small board, didn't quite beat out the Pork Loin for my big board (if it had a clean blend it just might).

    The Joyo is a really good pedal that will do anything from clean boost to raging near-fuzz.

    I haven't tried the Joyo, but at 30 bucks it can't hurt to try.

    Have you tried the Angler?

    If it was my money if get the B3K, sounds awesome from what I hear.

    Why not try the Source Audio OFD? Some great tube drives, low gain drive, distortion, and an epic fuzz section. I have a B3K and an OFD and as much as I love the B3K, the OFD has a loooot to offer. I can cop a Vintage Micro tube sound fairly easily on it, and the Octave Fuzz is worth the price of the pedal alone.

    Okay I've gone custom with Tom at Cog Effects

    It will basically be two Knightfalls in one box with LED, MOSFET, and silicon options for each plus internal trim posts on the gain so I can make one low gain (to use as a dirty boost etc) and one higher gain for more main stream duties. Each switched individually with the ability to stack.
    loopee and blindrabbit like this.

    I've gotta make my own amp cab for all the speaker stuff, so Im just wondering, does the kind of wood I build it out of affect the sound? (I know how big the cab is will) thanks

    You know what would be good for you to do, is to check out the spec's of some cabs that you like. Manufactures will usually always say what their Cab is made of. I think for PA Cabs they use Birch wood. It is not cheap and usually needs to be specially ordered, but if you want a good cab for the long run, start right from the start. Like an Acoustic Guitar
    the Wood is what really is the Sound!
    If your gonna go to Home Depot and make your cab out of Sheets of Plywood, that you put on a Roof or Walls in a House. Then give it up and save yourself the Waste of time that you would surely be wasting.
    Now, if your just throwing together a El Cheapo cab to get you by until you can actually afford to get a good
    cab, then use what you want, but get the best wood that Home Depot can turn you onto.

    i beleive aguilar uses 7 layers of no void mahogany ply wood. Sounds nice but it isnt super light, I doubt it would be cheap either but its worth a shot

    Plywood is fine, as long as it is no-void. However, it is a bit heavy... Make sure to avoid particle board.

Fox & Friends aired its own four-minute attack ad against President Obama that many have said could have been produced by the Republican National Committee with its blatant partisanship, quick cuts, and ominous disaster movie music. But the Fox News-produced video is actually a cartoon version of the series of ads released by Mitt Romney campaign in recent weeks titled "Broken Promises." Perhaps the show thought Romney's ads were too subtle for their viewers? Or maybe they thought Romney's ads were too boring? Nevertheless, they have the same theme, content, and style. Fox just kicked it up a notch, adding cheesier graphics, even more disastrous-sounding disaster movie music, and an absurd shot of a bald eagle (screenshot at left), which seems pulled straight from a Stephen Colbert parody.

It's not like Fox had no other material to work with. There are a lot of anti-Obama themes out there ripe for stealing. There's Karl Rove's Super PAC ad about Obama being too "cool," for example, or There's the Koch brothers' Americans for Prosperity ad, accusing Obama of blocking the Keystone XL pipeline for no good reason. But Fox looks like it took the Romney "Broken Promises" ads as a model, as they have a lot in common.

The Fox ad opens showing happier days: adoring fans of Obama in 2008. The Romney ad opens showing happier days: the sounds of wild cheers and a 2008 dateline.

The Fox ad then shows inspiring Obama speeches in which he promises to cut the debt. The Romney ad shows inspiring Obama speeches in which he promises to cut the debt.

Then with no narrator and just ominous music the Fox ad shows some statistics about how the debt has grown under Obama. In the Romney ad titled "Broken Promises: Spending," ominous music but no editor plays over statistics showing how the debt has grown under Obama.

The Fox ad gives unemployment the same treatment. Just as a separate Romney ad, titled "Broken Promises: Jobs and the Economy," does the same.

Even conservative sites like Hot Air though Fox News went too far, and the cable news network pulled the video from its website, despite, as the Huffington Post's Jack Mirkinson points out, Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy telling viewers they could rewatch the spot online. It was later reposted, minus the friendly introduction from Doocy and co-host Gretchen Carlson. Fox's top executives do not want to be associated with it. Fox News spokeswoman Carly Shanahan sent Business Insider a statement from Bill Shine, the executive vice president of programming. It said:

"The package that aired on Fox & Friends was created by an associate producer and was not authorized at the senior executive level of the network. This has been addressed with the show’s producers."

The New York Times' Brian Stelter reports that as for Fox News chief Roger Ailes, a spokesman told him, "Roger was not aware of the video." Stelter notes:

In past interviews, current and former Fox employees have described Mr. Ailes as keenly interested in the content of Fox & Friends, which has an agenda-setting function since it starts off the network’s day of programming. The people said Mr. Ailes regularly contributed talking points and phoned in ideas for the show, sometimes when it was on the air between 6 and 9 a.m. on weekdays.
