2024.05.19 13:09 Flo-9-O-O Conquerer Fuzz to Only Fuzz
Hello Everyone, I’ve populated and soldered (most of) my first circuit - the Conqueror Fuzz. submitted by Flo-9-O-O to diypedals [link] [comments] I’m able to get clean audio through my guitar to the amp, and the LED lights up, however, I’m getting no effects from this pedal - just that fuzz that sounds like a 1/4 cable plugged into a hand instead of a guitar. Please help! In the photo, you’ll see some things missing, this is because I took parts off I had not soldered. This includes the 3PDT and the potentiometers. Some things to know • Using a 9V battery for power input, I’m hoping less power less chance of blowing the circuit out. • L1. I chose to use the EI-14 transformer. • Resistors. I ran a few resistors in series to get the necessary values. • Capacitors. Also ran a couple of non polarized capacitors in series. • Pots. The board calls for one each of A10k, A25K, B1K, C5k. I only have B (linear) pots, so used these exclusively. • I used a B5K instead of B1K. • Used a B5K instead of C5K. • Used a B20K instead of A25K. • 3PDT switch. I wired directly as per the diagram provided in the build guide. Instead of soldering I wrapped the bare wire around the nut to make sure I got it correctly before soldering. I’m really new to circuits, the only DIY build I’ve done so far was to breadboard a Bazz Fuss, which worked well. I taught myself to solder so I can make this, with this said, I have no idea if I did well or burned the board by accident. Please let me know if you have any ideas or things to try out. Thank you. |

Additionally, while it pairs seamlessly with my Pioneer radio, compatibility with other brands may vary. Overall, the FLTP Microphone has been a worthy addition to my car's audio setup. Its sharp design, noise-cancelling capabilities, and user-friendly features make it worth considering for anyone looking to upgrade their hands-free calling experience. 🔗Carpool Karaoke Microphone 2.0 from Singing Machinehttps://preview.redd.it/u3hrl80g1d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aeca87007e5f842b83e9dfe8a7b4e18633ba405f I recently got my hands on the Singing Machine Carpool Karaoke Mic 2.0 in black and gold, a stylish addition to my karaoke setup. You know what they say, good things come in small packages, and this machine definitely fits that bill. It comes with a sleek microphone, perfect for belting out those tunes during karaoke nights with friends. One of the standout features for me was its ability to stream music via Bluetooth, which meant I could effortlessly connect it to my phone and play all my favorite songs. Another highlight was the option to connect it to my TV screen through the included RCA cables, making following the karaoke lyrics a breeze. However, there was a minor hiccup. The package didn't include a charging cable or an auxiliary cord. Also, the customer service I encountered at Target wasn't the most helpful, making my experience a bit underwhelming. But hey, nobody's perfect! Overall, the Singing Machine Carpool Karaoke Mic 2.0 is a fun gadget that definitely makes karaoke nights more lively. It's compact, stylish, and easy to use, but just remember to keep those essential cords handy! 🔗Carpool Karaoke Wireless Bluetooth Mic for In-Car Singinghttps://preview.redd.it/dofugadg1d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0caa0f23088564334371bb1e35dfd33e8c952b19 I had the pleasure of trying out "Carpool Karaoke: The Mic Singing Machine" during a road trip with friends. I'm a karaoke enthusiast, so I was excited to see how this device would transform our car ride. The setup was slightly tricky, but once everything was connected, we were ready to rock! The highlight of this product is its ability to bring the fun of carpool karaoke right into your vehicle. With Bluetooth connectivity and an AUX option, you can sing along to your favorite tunes using your phone's music library or streaming apps. Even though it's primarily designed for car use, I found it enjoyable at home with a Bluetooth speaker too! However, there were some downsides. The build quality seemed a bit flimsy, and I noticed a significant lag when using the Bluetooth function. Additionally, some users experienced compatibility issues with specific car models. In summary, "Carpool Karaoke: The Mic Singing Machine" provides a unique and entertaining experience for those who love to sing on the go. While not perfect, its charming concept and ease of use make it a worthy addition to your collection of vehicle entertainment options. 🔗Uniden Bearcat Wireless CB Microphone for Clear and Secure Communicationhttps://preview.redd.it/tbq28lpg1d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb397577185537d6e4d9fdfe107ace63d69e5a03 I recently got my hands on Uniden's BC906W wireless CB microphone, and I must say, it's been an game-changer for my communication needs while out and about. This nifty device gives me the freedom and mobility to connect wirelessly with my Bearcat CB radio from up to 100 meters away. One of my favorite features is the noise-cancellation technology which helps reduce background sound for clear, quality audio. No more struggling to decipher muffled or distorted voices - now each transmission comes through as crisp and clean as if you were standing right next to the speaker. The microphone charges conveniently in a cradle that also functions as a sync point, so once you've paired it once, it'll automatically reconnect each time you place it back in the cradle. And let me tell you, this battery lasts a surprisingly long time! Even though I use it daily for extended periods during my job, I only need to charge it about once a week. There are some minor drawbacks, though. For instance, there isn't any power-saving feature or built-in charging port in the microphone itself, making it reliant on the charging cradle. Additionally, if there's a sudden power interruption, the microphone will automatically unpair from the radio, causing a small inconvenience. Overall, considering all its pros and cons, Uniden's BC906W wireless CB microphone has made communication away from my truck much easier and more efficient. Its range, noise cancellation, and ease of use make it worth the investment for anyone looking for similar capabilities. 🔗RoadKing 4-Pin Noise-Cancelling CB Microphonehttps://preview.redd.it/he10gzeh1d1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6979ebc67553ae69772086c7d3284fbc6abcf4dc Oh boy, I've been using this Roadking RK56B Black 4-Pin Dynamic Noise Canceling Microphone in my car, and I must say, it's been a game-changer! The moment I received it, I was impressed with the sleek black design. Not only is it super cool looking, but it's also incredibly easy to use. The push-to-talk feature is a particular highlight for me because it ensures that I only transmit when I need to. One of the best things about this microphone, in fact, is its noise-cancellation feature. I've had it in my car during some noisy drives, and it's like I'm in a silent movie. The sound quality is top-notch, making it much easier for me to communicate clearly over the radio. In addition to its superior performance, the Roadking RK56B is also built like a tank. It's made with high-grade materials, which not only ensures durability but also gives it a premium feel. And despite its robust construction, the microphone is surprisingly light, making it easy for me to install and adjust. Perhaps one minor issue I had was with the wiring. It's not exactly a deal-breaker, but managing it can be a bit of a hassle, especially when I'm on the go. That said, this is a microphone that I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. Its unique combination of style, functionality, and quality makes it a must-have for any driver.

2024.05.19 11:02 ndreueu High Availability with CARP and Multi WAN (2 isp)
Hello there, submitted by ndreueu to opnsense [link] [comments] First and foremost i want to point out that i'm not an expert at all, i'm literally learning how to use opnsense, i used it for few months, i liked it and i would like to improve my skills, every little help will be amazing and really appreciated. I hope i won't trigger anybody if i misunderstand something or make any (newbie) mistake though post. I know there are already a few of these posts, but as the title says, i'm trying to implement 2 opnsense firewalls (1 master 1 backup) with the 2 isp i have (1 Primary 1 backup), somehow there is not a single video tutorial or really detailed guide on how to achieve this. As i read through different guides for carp or multiwan, i understood a few things, you gotta have at least 3 static ips, 1 for each WAN and 1 for the CARP interfaces, here i get the first doubt, as you can see in the diagram i have 2 ISP i know each has at least a static IP,(those are purely for example) i'm now wondering what would the 3 static ip for the carp? is it a virtual IP that i should choose? as for the multiwan failover, if i configure a failver group as shown in many guides, once i implement the synconization between the 2 firewalls, will the multilan setup automatically work also on the backup firewall? https://preview.redd.it/bf6xylkslc1d1.png?width=952&format=png&auto=webp&s=47ca4a13978df6f14db10fb0da61ca4fc3947462 *Also from many guides i saw that there should be 2 switches before the 2 firewalls, would it be the same with the integrated ethernet ports on the modem/router provided by the isps companies? As for the wiring this up, i don't know if i get it right, but i have it this way ISP1 to port1 of both firewalls ISP2 to port2 of both firewalls CARP is the cable connecting both fws on port3 Port4 is for the lan going to the unmanaged switch is this right? about the ip of my wan, is there any way to check if it is a single static ip available, or if it's a /29 subnet? Should i ask my isp? is there any chance in case i have a single ip, to ask the isp provider to change it and give a /29 subnet? (this part is not clear to me as you can see, and would appreciate someone to explain it to me, thank you. I will really appreciate any help or anybody willing to give detailed information for newbies like me, Thank you in advance for you time and help! some article and guides i've already read: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/OPNsense_HA_Cluster_configuration https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/hacarp.html https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/multiwan.html https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/how-tos/multiwan.html |
2024.05.19 10:56 BeansWithMilk Turning amp off with a switch, connected to a fuse
All of my fuses in the car are live im pretty sure, i tested everything although my tester is bad but i got a 12v or more on I THINK every fuse. I connected it on one of them just to hear the sound and everything work but i jusr need to find a way for my amp to turn off when i switch the car off. submitted by BeansWithMilk to CarAV [link] [comments] I gave up on that idea since its taking me way too long to build this car so i was thinking of just getting a 2 prong switch and placing it between the remote wire. The drawing is what i think of doing so idk if its a good idea but i dont have another way. Aftermarket unit from who knows when and no wiring diagram, wires are weirs colors. All fuses are live and active even when car is off so putting a switch will not drain my battery if it turn off the amp? |

I mean, I've always been a bit of a worrier, especially when it comes to my car door. I've had my fair share of lockouts, and it's never a good time. But this little tool, it's changed everything! First off, I love how versatile it is. I can reshape it to fit the thickness of my door and the location of the lock. It's like it's tailor-made just for me, and my car! Plus, it comes with a nice vinyl hand grip. It makes it so much easier to use. It's like holding onto a friendly, familiar face in a moment of pure panic. Another great thing about this tool is that it's portable. It folds up so neatly, like a little origami masterpiece. It fits perfectly in my pocket, purse, or any other compartment I can find. It's like having a magic trick up my sleeve, always ready to save the day. But, let's be real, no product is perfect. I have to admit, this tool can sometimes be a bit of a troublemaker. It's not always as smooth as I'd like it to be. There have been a few times when it's stuck in the narrow space between the door and the weather stripping. It's kind of like trying to force a square peg into a round hole, you know? It can be a bit frustrating. However, on the bright side, I've found that by taking a little extra time and being patient, I can usually get it to work. And when it does, it's such a relief! It's like a personal victory, and it makes me feel so smart and resourceful. So, would I recommend this product? Absolutely! It's not perfect, but it's worked wonders for me.

This compact device is a true lifesaver when I've locked my keys inside or when I need to access the trunk in a hurry. The highlights that caught my attention are the screws that don't require a coupler, which have made it incredibly easy to use. Plus, the collapsible design allows for easy storage in my glove compartment. Another great feature is the presence of a middle extension piece that covers the entire car and can be used for long reach applications. The shorter tip is perfect for accessing lock buttons, while the glowing tips on models 135-2B and 135-2C are an excellent innovation for nighttime use. One downside I experienced was the need for more precise angle adjustments when trying to unlock my car doors. While the rigid design facilitated easier access through the window, it could be trickier for those with less experience or unsteady hands. Other than that minor inconvenience, this door opening kit has been a game changer for me. So, if you're someone who often finds themselves in need of a last-minute or after-hours unlock solution, I highly recommend giving the Lock Technology 145 Easy Access Folding Door Opening Kit a try. You won't be disappointed! 🔗Universal Key Retrieval Tool for Carshttps://preview.redd.it/fza6i2i7ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f23fa1bae38cffd98f2be3aca02604ddb5c709f Imagine locking your keys in your car. It's a frustrating and stressful situation, but with the Universal Lockout Tool, you can save yourself some time and money. This ingenious tool works with most American cars, as well as some international brands such as Audi, Toyota, and Volkswagen. The best part? It's made of sturdy metal, giving you the confidence to use it without worrying about damaging your vehicle. It measures about 5/8" x 22", making it compact enough to carry around in your glove compartment or tool kit. While some users have had issues with its thinness and flexibility, many professionals find it a decent entry-level tool for those occasional lockouts. Plus, at its affordable price, it's definitely worth considering as an insurance policy against those unexpected key-locking mishaps. But remember, practice makes perfect. Always read the directions included on the back of the package and familiarize yourself with the tool before attempting to use it on your car. With some patience and a bit of finesse, you'll be able to unlock your vehicle in no time! 🔗Geevorks Power Door Lock Actuator 12Vhttps://preview.redd.it/muh2e2z7ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d19305a1e6ea49f50436e7ed756977e30c865fab As a car enthusiast, I was excited to try out the Geevorks 12V door lock actuator. This kit made upgrading my old manual door locks to automatic ones a breeze! The installation was relatively easy, and the product included everything from door lock actuators to remote controls. The remote controls allowed me to lock and unlock my car from a distance, giving me peace of mind when I step away from my vehicle. One of the main highlights for me was the trunk release button, adding an extra layer of convenience when I need to access my trunk. Additionally, the door lock actuator can be used in remote control and alarm systems, making it a versatile product for various car security needs. On the downside, the remote control distance could be improved. In some cases, I experienced a weaker signal which made locking or unlocking the car from a distance less reliable. Despite this minor inconvenience, overall, the Geevorks door lock actuator has made my driving experience more secure and convenient. 🔗Car Door Unlock Tool with Vinyl Griphttps://preview.redd.it/c6x7rm58ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=803f575bfc977f1e89d1fc88355828684cde5c1a Dorman's Emergency Door Unlock Tool is a handy little gadget that can save your day if you accidentally lock your keys inside your car. Imagine the relief of unlocking your car door within seconds using the slim design of this tool, which can be easily folded to fit in your pocket, purse or other compartments. The vinyl hand grip makes it comfortable and easy to use even in tight spaces. However, there are some downsides to consider. Some users found it difficult to get the tool past the window seal and mentioned it folds up easily during use. It may not work effectively for all types of car doors due to their varying thickness and lock locations. Overall, this tool can be quite useful for those who occasionally find themselves locked out of their vehicle. But be aware that it might require some practice or patience to get it right depending on your particular car model. So, if you're looking for a quick solution to this common mishap, Dorman's Emergency Door Unlock Tool could be worth a shot. 🔗Universal 10-Piece Vehicle Unlock Tool Kithttps://preview.redd.it/s6357qm8ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a98a6022487db229e198a018819a6715ec59de81 I recently had an unfortunate experience where I locked myself out of my car. Panicking, I remembered the Universal 10-Piece Vehicle Unlock Tool Kit I'd heard about. Its assorted tools and convenient pouch seemed perfect for this situation. Upon pulling it out of the bag, I was immediately disappointed by the poor instructions. The metal tools felt flimsier than anticipated, bending on the first attempt. However, the variety of tools allowed me to eventually unlock my car door, although not without a fight. I wouldn't recommend this to a friend, but it did save me from an expensive professional service. The tool kit is compact and easy to carry, making it a handy emergency tool for drivers. The metal tools are versatile, catering to different vehicle models. The convenient pouch is spacious enough to hold all the tools. However, the build quality of the tools is disappointing, as they seem to bend easily under pressure. Overall, it's a useful tool kit for occasional use, but don't expect it to last a lifetime. 🔗Unlock Your Car Door with Ease: LTI135 2-Piece Easy Access ToolKithttps://preview.redd.it/tw4kx129ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=99dbc9a67e834fef37c0f4356ab77c6c6aeadaad I recently used the Lock Technology Easy Access Door Unlocking Tool Kit 135 in a tricky situation where I locked myself out of my car. To my relief, this 2-piece tool easily collapsed for convenient storage and extended to reach the car's windows. The whale tail tip design worked like a charm on the lock surfaces, making it a breeze to unlock my car door. Plus, the included plastic slip jim and door wedges provided extra support. However, despite the overall positive experience, I did face a minor issue with this kit. The lack of a highlight feature in the product description made it somewhat challenging to understand the exact specifications of each component. Additionally, the green color of the tool might not appeal to everyone's taste. In conclusion, the Lock Technology Easy Access Door Unlocking Tool Kit 135 proved to be a reliable and effective solution for my car lockout predicament. Its collapsible design, whale tail tip, and additional accessories make it a worthwhile investment for those looking to keep a handy tool in their vehicle for emergencies. 🔗Glow-in-the-Dark Car Door Unlocking Tool Kit with Lock Knob Lifter and Paint Protectorhttps://preview.redd.it/m15v5eb9ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b7b2cb2558331b8dc5735088bb6188452d7505ae As a reviewer who has experienced the joy of retrieving keys from locked cars, I can attest to the life-saving capabilities of the Steck Big Easy Glow with Wedge Lockout Tool Kit. This kit has everything you need to rescue someone from their own forgetfulness or mischief at any hour of the day or night. The glow-in-the-dark yellow hue is not only cool but also incredibly functional, allowing you to see the tool even through tinted windows. One aspect that really stood out for me was the easy wedge feature. It offers controlled opening of the car door for insertion of the Big Easy Glo, making it incredibly easy to access the inside of the vehicle without causing any damage. Additionally, its non-marring wedge prevents scratches or damages to your car, ensuring your beloved vehicle stays pristine even after a minor lockout incident. However, despite its many positives, there are a few cons worth noting. The included air wedge seems to be somewhat delicate and may not last as long as other parts of the kit. Also, while the kit is effective on 98% of all cars and trucks, there might be some models or makes that are not compatible with this tool. In conclusion, if you're someone who often encounters people locked out of their cars, then the Steck Big Easy Glow with Wedge Lockout Tool Kit is definitely worth considering. It's easy to use, effective, and offers an array of useful features that cater to different types of car locks. While it may have some minor drawbacks, overall, it's a reliable tool that can save both time and money when used appropriately. 🔗Visible Pink Door Unlock Kit for Carshttps://preview.redd.it/r29an9o9ob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=81653982435b7669f52d6214c42ae406814781ae I have been using the Steck Lockout Tool Kit Big Easy for over a year now, and let me tell you, it's been an absolute game-changer. This tool has saved me countless times when I've locked my keys inside the car, much to the amusement of my friends. One of the first things that stood out was the high visibility pink powder coating on its 55-inch long handle. In the middle of the night or during a snowstorm, finding this pink tool is a breeze compared to the black ones I used before. Plus, the improved non-marring wedge is now wider, longer, and smoother, making it even easier to use in various car models. While the Big Easy is primarily designed for unlocking car doors, it also features a lock knob lifter, which comes in handy for cars with flat lock knobs at the top of the door. No more trying to improvise with a wire hanger or credit card - the Big Easy does it all. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. Some users might find the storage size of the tool inconvenient, and it would be great if the package included a pump-up air bag for extra versatility. Overall, the Steck Lockout Tool Kit Big Easy has been a reliable and convenient addition to my toolbox. With its 55-inch long handle and high visibility pink coating, I can quickly and easily unlock any car door without causing damage. If you're someone who frequently misplaces their keys or finds themselves locked out of their vehicle, I highly recommend giving this tool a try. 🔗Chevrolet Power Door Lock and Unlock Kithttps://preview.redd.it/fxzncp7aob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d107018b76834aab8c3b04d5635f15620b73de1 I recently installed the Biltek Power Car Door Lock and Unlock Kit in my Chevy Colorado, and I must say, it has been a game-changer. Before, I had to manually lock and unlock each door, but now, everything is just a button press away. The package included everything I needed to get started, from the simple diagram to the main module and actuators. Plus, it's compatible with my alarm system, so I can control everything right from my alarm remote. The standout feature for me is the keyless entry. It's so convenient to hop in the car and just unlock the doors with a push of a button. The only downside I noticed was that the installation process took some time and effort, but once it was done, everything worked seamlessly. Overall, I highly recommend the Biltek Power Car Door Lock and Unlock Kit to anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle to a central locking system with keyless entry. It's easy to use, reliable, and a great investment for any car owner. 🔗Universal Door Lock and Unlock Conversion Kit for 2, 3, 4 Car Doorshttps://preview.redd.it/5errq2gaob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b3b2d0192c67af9501b4d932da30d6f87609898 I recently upgraded my car with the Biltek CX-402 Universal Central Door Lock and Unlock Conversion Kit, and I must say it's made a world of difference in terms of convenience. The kit is easy to install, requiring no additional hardware and coming with a clear diagram that guides you through the process. One of the standout features is its universal compatibility, fitting all known cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans. This has been particularly useful for me, as I often drive different vehicles. The Central locking system provides a state-of-the-art solution, converting manual door locks into a fully functional keyless entry system. However, there's a downside to this product - the poor-quality wires. The wires were the only problem I encountered during installation, which was quite frustrating. Despite this, the Biltek CX-402 is an overall solid choice for anyone looking to upgrade their vehicle's locking system. 🔗Easy Access Door Unlocking Kit for Carshttps://preview.redd.it/88tquntaob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff513b3f87a7f0209a4f510974338b3750cc8e2a I recently got my hands on this LTI LT-126 Easy Access Tool and boy, has it been a game-changer for me! After suffering countless failed attempts to unlock doors in tight spaces or with tricky locks, this little tool has made things so much easier. The whale tail tip design is pure genius, allowing it to grip the lock more securely and catch it without much effort. Plus, the fact that you can use it with or without the vinyl tips depending on your preference just adds to its versatility. What I particularly appreciated was how the tool came packaged in a simple yet sturdy custom kraft cardboard box. Not only did it make the whole experience feel more special, but also added an environmental touch which is always a welcome sight. However, one thing that could have been even better was if the tool had come with some detailed instructions on how best to handle it, especially for first-time users. Nonetheless, once you figure out the right technique, this LTI LT-126 Easy Access Door Tool truly lives up to its name! 🔗Stylish modern hide a bed chairhttps://preview.redd.it/31d6i74bob1d1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2939790b1647de9e7853c7573b56fde97666955c As a frequent traveler, I've found the Grip 8pc Lockout Tool Kit to be an absolute lifesaver. Imagine being stuck outside your car on a sweltering day, with no spare key or anyone to help you out. That's where this tool kit comes in. It's got everything you need to unlock your car door in no time. One of the standout features of this kit is the slim jim bars - they're so thin yet sturdy, you'll wonder how they're able to pry open even the toughest doors. The slim jim bars are backed up by other useful tools like the wire form S hook slide lock tool and the wonder tool. Together, they make sure you're never locked out for long. On the flip side, I did find the metal parts to be slightly flimsier than I'd hoped. It's not a deal-breaker but it does make me wary of using this kit too frequently. However, for occasional usage or as a backup tool, the Grip 8pc Lockout Tool Kit definitely earns its keep. In conclusion, this tool kit has proven to be an essential part of my travel gear. It's well-made, easy to use, and offers a range of tools for different types of car doors.

2024.05.19 04:01 Bearded_Goldsmith How would you make this happen? (Complete noob)
I am currently building a workshop out of my garage which is about 150 feet away from the house and I want to be able to stream to Twitch from there while also keep the main router in the house. In the included diagram, the red line is the wire that goes from the main router to outside and in the garage. I have a POE switch, a second router, a couple cameras, a NUC (to record the cameras footage) and a steamdeck (for streaming). How would you go about doing this? Do I need more gear? What is the maximum lenght of cable I can have? Many thanks in advance. submitted by Bearded_Goldsmith to HomeNetworking [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/4egt13tsja1d1.jpg?width=885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=73e2c67d32db500997c5669ad031a7bba826acb8 |
2024.05.19 03:59 Miserable_Success_70 I just bought a Dixie Chopper and I’m going to rewire it
Hey everyone, just bought this XXWD3500 for a song because it randomly shuts off. Didn’t take long to come up with a few possible culprits. First of which was what I thought was a random light bulb laying in the box that houses the gages. Now I’m thinking it’s a mercury switch rolling around but not sure yet. After that I moved on the the scotch lock on the fuel shutoff solenoid. And from there it only got worse. Luckily Dixie choppers owners manual is freely available on their website and it includes a full wiring diagram. I’m quickly becoming a fan of the company. Here’s a few pictures. Please share your experience of the brand and send me any pointers you might have! I’ll be making a new harness from scratch fairly soon and going through all of the maintenance, a thorough wash, and perhaps a quick coat of paint.

2024.05.19 02:54 klinto75m How to delay on and off signal from light sensor module?
So I've installed an aftermarket headunit in my car. To control when to dim the screen I've used a XH-M131 "Light sensor module". This allows me adjust the light level, where the screen should dim. But it has it flaws. the LDR sensor is placed on my dashboard, where it can be exposed to sudden short light level changes. This makes the screen "flicker" between light and dim mode. Happens mostly when driving under street lamps or on roads where trees etc. cast shadows. submitted by klinto75m to AskElectronics [link] [comments] This is my current setup https://preview.redd.it/visl977x4a1d1.png?width=631&format=png&auto=webp&s=ac5eed473b43618568b88c681559d11eae13aaf2 Works by passing 12v through to headunit signal wire when the light level drops under an adjustable level (adjustable using a potentiometer). Ideally i would like the signal to be delayed, to ensure the light level is consistent before changing signal from 0v to 12v and reverse 12v to 0v. So that the light level needs to be consistent in eg. 2s before passing the signal along. How would this be achievable? I would describe my electronics level as novice/beginner. I'm comfortable soldering and following diagrams. But not so much designing and understanding components impact. Thought about using an atmesga328 device (like Arduino nano) to act as a "state manager". I have limited experience with these boards, but am a programmer by profession (probably why I'm thinking about this option). But it feels like overkill. |

2024.05.19 00:49 OG-Sphincter Need Help with Homing My DIY 3D Printer (and many other problems I have with this behemoth I've made)
There's a few problems that need to be addressed before I can move onto fine tuning and actually printing. submitted by OG-Sphincter to 3Dprinting [link] [comments] Short form backstory: Bought a Tevo Tarantula Pro, my first printer ever. I knew NOTHING about 3d printers. I was pretty unimpressed with the abilities of this printer so I decided to rip it down to just parts and build my own printer out of whatever I could salvage. This new printer is composed of these components: MOTHERBOARD: BTT Octopus V1.0 STEPPER DRIVERS: (All drivers in UART mode) X_Driver TMC2209 (850ma) Y_Driver TMC2209 (850ma) Z_Driver TMC2209 (850ma) Z2_Driver TMC2209 (850ma) E0_Driver TMC2208 (800ma) X and Y axis are running in "sensorless homing". Though it's been difficult to set this up. X homing is set to use XMAX endstop because my custom gantry plates. Won't allow it to hang over the bed on the left side (that's why it's going to the far right.) 220mm X 220mm x 3mm aluminum heated build plate running 24v with a seperate PSU. Z axis SHOULD be set to use ZMIN endstop but as you can see in the video, the endstop is doing NOTHING. There's power, the light turns on when it's closed. I checked pin diagram and it should be set in the right pin. And the wires SHOULD be in the correct order. Z axis homes in mid air, I'm unsure of why this is... maybe I've accidentally set the Z to sensorless?? This doesn't seem to make sense though as resistance on the axis has no effect on when it stops. It seems to completely disregard the physical endstop and instead uses the virtual endstop, though there's obviously nothing it can actually reference off of so it just sorta floats there... No idea what PULLUP or PULLDOWN means though maybe this has something to do with it? Another curiosity is that M420 error... I don't think I have auto bed leveling defined in my code so I'm unsure of why it even tries to use M420 at all... though that's honestly not on the top of my list. Any help would be VERY appreciated! I have a BUNCH of things I need help with on this project and nobody around me who knows enough about this stuff to actually be helpful. |
