  • how poorly does that have to have been implemented for that to be a issue? i find it hard to bevel what should just be a few lines of css a concern

    i was mainly asking for a iron recommendation and any other stuff i really need eg tweezers, flux, low melt solder, stuff i would need to something like replace a power stage/mosfet on a GPU

    for the zd-915 i have new caps to replace the crappy stock ones, making my own filters would be cool, but i have spare parts for it...

  • Tools and supply reconndations

    Is this still a/the recommend iron?
    [url]https://www.amazon.com/KSGER-Temperature-Controller-Electronic-Equipments/dp/B07PYFSCJ9[/url]

    *For use at a desk w/ cheap replacement tips available (if i need to get brand names ones for a specific use that is fine)
    i would like something good for SMD parts on boards (not messing with BGA comments)
    a tip recommendations would be nice

    where should i get some flux and low melt solder from?

    other tool recommendations?

    Other tools i have or ordered:

  • well leaving them in the garage for that week+ did not seem to affect the reading, that said right now at my desk the humidity reading is very close to what my nearest DHT22 reads (within margin of error for the sensors), the one i have in the garage i do not trust the humidity reading of, last i checked it was reading +20% compared to the BME280, maybe the horrible humidity skewed it's reading, the one in the attic does not have reading at high, but that one gets heated up a lot in the day while the one in the garage just gets warm and stays near the same temp and gets the humidity this area...

  • stand by looks to be 0.50 mA, had to use my meter for that one the usb tool can't even close to that low (i think it bottoms out at 0.07A), that said my jank adapter under load only showed it pulling about 250 mA and my usb tool confirmed that, either my jank adapter or multimeter is limiting the current...

  • When your mom is complaining about her new cheap lights

    My Mom bought some cheap motion sensor lights on wish... then complains about about batteries and this thing chews though them, well it uses 4 AAA batteries and a pack of rechargeable ones is about 13 USD

    well since it uses 4 AAA and rechargeable are 1.2v and non-recharge at 1.5 this thing must work with 4.8-6v, I'll shove a USB cable on it, infant i will use a broken phone charge cable... dam this thing uses 430 mA and they made it battery powered...

  • sounds with a try, the OD has plenty of tolerance from the look of it, the ID is probably fine 1.5 - 2 mm (maybe you can stretch the material b4 punching the center out so it will go back smaller than the punch?)

  • apparently you can recondition them with ~5 days of 25C and > 40% humidity
    well i do not think that will be hard to do...

  • I have not had issues reading the sensor, but i do not trust the humidity reading, my DHT22s all read around 10% higher, not sure what sensor is full of it (DHT22 ~25C = 99%; BME280 ~25C= 77%; weather says 26C @ 89%)
    note that all of my sensors are from cheap places, my dht22s were $1 each on ebay, got every unit the seller had

    seems to be working on my breadboard at these much worse humidity levels, will give it a while b4 i re-solder it

    this is the lib i am using: [URL]https://github.com/mbuesch/bme280-upy[/URL]https://I have not had issues readin...nsor, but i do

  • I think this is the one: [URL]https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805956739680.html[/URL]

    the other F segments in the array get brighter when it acted up, F Pin is next to the other 2 affected pins, and it is was working fine on my breadboard last night, gonna need more testing though to be sure it was a internal issue

    controlled via a MAX7219 from the same supplier

    i do agree it looks like a open circuit as if there was a short the other F segments should have gotten dimmer not birghterhttps://I think this is the one: [UR...680.html[/URL]

  • i have used tesseract on ubuntu before from the command line as well in some [URL="https://github.com/GM-Script-Writer-62850/PHP-Scanner-Server/tree/master"]scanner software[/URL] (there are undocumented known bugs i need to fix)
    eg: somehow multi page scans broke for my mom, there was another but rather than mention it i went and fixed it cause it seemed like less work

    sometimes i have to crop a image or upscale the image to get good output sometimes just a basic upscaling in gimp is enough though

  • Flux causing high resistance short?

    Now that my de-soldering gun is working i was able to remove this panel i made about a week before i noticed a issue the F segment of digits 2 and 3 would go out, digit 2 would go before digit 3, but would come back after the humidity got down from running the ac (note the weather outside is 30.5 / 74%; panel data is from a BME280)

  • As someone who grew up in the US this measurement system is garbage, the only thing that is fine is temperature and that is ONLY for the weather and the thermostat and i do still think C is better as 1C is smaller temp range than 1F

    everywhere i have ever looked for a name brand metric dill bit has nothing at any price, what brands exist on the other side? here for the big ones are (excluding store brands) Bosch, Dewalt, Milwakuee, and you can find Greenlee at stores that target contractors

  • New parts arrived today
    0.067" thick (looks like 1.5mm)
    0.552 diameter (looks like 14mm)
    0.075 inner diameter (looks like 2mm)
    note that my dad's good calipers only have the US measurement standard, metric values where taken with a ruler

    it is hard to use calipers on a object that flexes

    my flat washer is MIA... must have never see out fall out when cleaning

    if they can make them let me know, if these fail that often I'll get some as well and maybe we can get volume pricing...

  • +10 shipping and 5 months... then still does not ship from the US
