    Re: Init Paper Shredder sensor circuit

    Well, I can't see the specifics in great detail but here's an idea:

    If you don't plan on running it for long periods at a time, you might be able to make some other materials work as a bearing. Just get a bronze, or copper, aluminum, etc plate and drill the right sized hole in it and polish the hole, pack it with grease, and remove whatever needs to be removed from the plastic shell/framework of the shredder so you can bolt or screw the new plate bearing on, and of course pack it with grease. I'd probably do that just to see how well it works, though I have some scrap plate aluminum already so...

        Sensor on Aurora AS1018CD paper shredder doesn't work
        by CapSnap123
        I'm getting frustrated troubleshooting a paper shredder. The way the shredder normally works is when you turn the power on, nothing happens until you insert a piece of paper. There is an IR shredder in the shredder and inserting the paper breaks the beam and starts the shredder motor. But now the motor runs constantly, even when no paper is inserted. I've replaced the photodiode and the IR emitter. Also the relay makes a nice clicking sound so I assume it is working too. I don't know what else to check. Here's a photo of the circuit board. The red and black wires marked IR - go to the...

        AcuRite 5 in 1 temperature sensor replacement repair
        by CapLeaker
        Got a new victim:

        AcuRite 5 in 1 Iris outdoor weather station not updating the temperature / humidity anymore. The original sensor is a SHT21. Also there are identical other sensor manufacturers. I chose the HTU21D to replace the original SHT21. Both have identical specs. I've had two failure modes with these sensors.
        A: outside temp stuck at -40? It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
        B: stuck at some temperature and maybe updating once in 12 hrs or so.

        Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...

        Simple PIR sensor circuit to drive a small motor
        by Nevillet
        Hi All,

        I'd like some help designing a simple circuit for driving a small DC motor.
        The PIR module is a HC-SR501 which runs on 6V supply and outputs 2.4V when triggered. (Datasheet attached)

        I'm not totally sure which motor I need yet but lets assume it'll be 12V and draw a maximum of 100mA.

        Can somebody design me a simple circuit for me using something like a 2N3904?

        I'm happy to include a relay if that makes sense.

        Many thanks.

        Google Pixel 5 - Proximity Sensor Issues - Reflow/Replacement procedure tipps wanted
        by groomit
        Hi,
        I just replaced the battery on a Google Pixel 5.
        After that the proximity sensor isn't functioning properly any more. It is constantly activated. So when playing a voice message on Whatsapp, the Screen instantly turns off.
        Checking with a sensor app I can verify weird behavior of the sensor. It is triggered when nothing is near and sometimes works correctly when squeezing the phone next to the sensor hole.
        The rubber seal is on again (as mentioned in various suggestions in other forums).

        This smells like a cold or broken solder joint. So I'd like to reflow...
