      Fresh: contrast default 37, display upside down & inverted.

      Flip: Contrast default 45, display correct!
      Rotary encoder turns in the wrong direction.
      Best contrast is of course user opinion, 50 shows a little bit of the background, at 45 the background is only the backlight.
      I'd say 50 is probably good when you have some sun or bright lights anyway.

          per hannson thats the one ive tried on mine and works fine with the display etc just rotary encoder backwards

                      This one is correct.
                      Contrast is good.
                      Encoder turns in the correct direction.
                      And display is not fucked up at all from what I can tell

                        stj with your last file encoder goes the right way now i cant see any other diffrences although still dosnt show encoder in the menu but works fine.

                          encoder test is disabled to save space.

                          i'm going to go start adding other stuff now.

                            yes this one works fine for me too i was swopping files from laptop via usb to desktop pc so i got files mixed up but testing-tuning2.zip seems fine too me.

                                    fuck it, i hardly changed anything display-related!

                                    o.k. try this - if it works then your eeprom may be faulty - i'm moving the fonts into the main flash.

                                      "testing-tuning4.zip" kinda worked, the fonts where not correct.
                                      And the meter rebooted all the time, never offering to do the calibration.
                                      And when metering a capacitor it showed 0.00 for ESR which was incorrect.
                                      But the display was oriented properly at least.

                                        i changed the fonts to a smaller set to fit more info on the display.

                                        the reboot i think i can fix - i tried to set the shutdown timer after vince noticed it stayed on.
                                        i'v had trouble with that bit of code before.

                                        try this.
                                        i killed the timer and removed the long cal message.

                                          Yea "testing-tuning5.zip" works better, ESR still shows as 0.00 though which is incorrect for this cap.
                                          I put back "testing-tuning2.zip" now as I like that one better, much nicer fonts

                                            Is it possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue meter?
                                            by chth96
                                            I read EBOOK of Testing Electronic Component and found that

                                            "In order to test the small blue resin coated ceramic disk capacitor which has 104 50v specification,it is possible to test this small ceramic capacitor by making use of analogue meter.
                                            Set to times 10Kohm that has 12v output from the probe to check disorder of ceramic capacitor.
                                            It is not uncommon that testing result of digital capacitance meter is okay,But It show shorted reading when you check it with analogue meter."

                                            Is it really possible to test small ceramic disc capacitor with analogue...

                                            I have had with regular AA batteries that leak this meter is expensive new I already replaced the battery battery clips once and the same thing happened again and I am tried of so it is getting modified to accommodate lithium ion batteries that are the same size excluding the positive terminal and removing the battery clips I will have enough room for the BMS protection board

                                            I going to put 3 lithium ion battery in parallel with the BMS protection board and a way to charge the battery externally and heat shrink the battery pack and use a JST connector so I easily remove the battery...

                                            Changing the scale of an analog meter
                                            by jorpec
                                            Hi

                                            I want to change the scale of an analog meter, to monitor the charge of an li-ion single cell, so the needle at the end would point 4.2 volts and the 0 on the meter would point 2.5 volts or so, i tried to add diodes or a zener in series with the meter but the changes of the ambient temperature also changes the voltage value on the meter
                                            I wonder how i can accomplish this so the meter would be precise at any temperature ?

                                            How an incandescent light and a ESR meter ** friend**have a machine blowing fuses

                                            About a month ago we had a transformer jumper wire that burned in two different places between two transformers caused over $200 thousand dollars worth of damage to VFD drives at least 10 of them and a memory card and quite a few power supply as well

                                            Now we have most of the equipment that got damaged back up and running except a feeder that has issues and we are waiting for some parts for

                                            Now we also have another piece of equipment that was blowing fuses on the 110 volt controller switch circuit with the “E” stops and one switching power (24 volt) supply and a transformer...

                                            ps4 1215 model Changed port and encoder still no video?

                                            hi guys so i have this ps4 fat 1215 i believe ( the one with the ps4 pro/slim newer encoder ic ) so i replaced hdmi and 2 blown filters and still no pic so i replaced encoder and still no pic. i made sure port is solid even checked with a breakout hdmi and tested ground and data lines.. Filters are all good , though 2 of the newer ones are larger then the original ones i dont know if that matters ?
                                            Made sure under the scope encoder pins all look solid went over with fine tip and solder again. Idk but this thing is stressing me out..
                                            ps4 seems to boot fine blue light then solid...
