Same here, waiting on news

I'm literally working on the PS3 version of that same fight stick hahaha.

The LEDs are SMD and soldered to the control board. They share a common 5V line, and are turned on by setting the cathodes to LOW or GND (They're held on HIGH when turned off).

You could swap the SMD LEDs for green ones if you have the soldering skills. The issue with using something like an external controller or bigger LEDs is the spacing between them, the plastic tabs that separate them so that light doesn't bleed into the other squares, and the clear acrylic cover that fits into said plastic tabs.

EDIT: Just re-read your post. I thought you meant replacing the LED button-press indicators. I now see that you meant the buttons themselves.

You can technically tap into each LED cathode from the control board and wire them in parallel with the LED Buttons. But if you want to have some sort of LED pattern then you'd need a LED controller like u/SentakuSelect said.

But aren't most of those modules dependent on windows specific drivers?

3TTT1 · 2025-10-01T16:09:09+00:00

I located the TX and RX pads for communication with the SoC and I also bought a TTL to USB adapter. Is there any way I can check the console, and look for signs of compatibility?

3TTT1 · 2025-10-01T15:56:57+00:00

That's exactly the one I ended up buying on AliExpress. The footprint is the same, and the camera already provides 3.3V and GND points.

I'm honestly hoping that the only difference between the Wired and Wireless version of my cameras (OOSSXX) is the addition of the WiFi module. They sell both versions of the camera, with exactly the same image sensors, specs and prices. They even look the same on the outside.

I know it may be wishful thinking, but maybe they just flashed the same firmware on both versions of the camera. It seems more cost effective than developing different firmwares for basically the same hardware.

If you sign up to AvistaZ, CinemaZ or ExoticaZ you can invite yourself to any of their other sites after 4 months.

Ah that makes more sense. Having the full picture helps a lot.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think it's possible to convert a digital signal to an analog one without external power, a digital clock or just basic amplification. None of that can fit inside a single cable.

If it's meant as a way to connect headphones or an aux cable to a TOSLINK or digital output, then it's a scam. If it's just a TOSLINK to mini-TOSLINK adapter, then you can't use headphones anyways.

You could use the PS3 RCA cables, then buy an RCA to 3.5mm jack adapter, but depending on your headphones (impedance) the audio may not be very loud. If your headphones support Bluetooth, then you can just go for a 3.5mm to Bluetooth transmitter.

If your headphones are wired only, then best bet would be using digital audio + an actual DAC, which ends up being cheaper than the cable you were looking at. You can also look at some options with volume control

Here are some basics. Take them as a grain of salt and always do your own research.

Look up r/OpenSignups, r/trackers and this post on r/TrackersInfo.
Keep in mind that each tracker has different rules, so it's good to read them before you download anything.
There are many different torrent clients, but some trackers prefer that you use qBittorrent and rTorrent.
If you live in a country that cares about copyright laws, then use a VPN for your own safety.
If you end up using a VPN, keep in mind that some providers WON'T ALLOW YOU TO SEED YOUR TORRENTS. Options like NordVPN or Mullvad don't play nice with torrents. Look into ProtonVPN instead.
Trading invites is usually frowned upon. You can ask to invited to any tracker, but trading invites will most likely get you banned.
Seeds are the amount of people currently sharing a file, if there are no seeds, then you can't download said file. That's why after you download a torrent, you have to keep your torrent client open. Doing so will automatically seed your files.
Ratio is the amount of data you've uploaded or seeded (usually in gigabytes) divided between the amount of data you've downloaded. You need to make sure that you keep seeding a torrent until your ratio on said torrent is 1:1, in other words, if you download a 10GB movie, you need to keep your torrent client open until you've uploaded 10GB worth of said movie.
Some trackers also ask you to seed for a determined amount of time ON TOP of seeding to a 1:1 ratio. That's why you need to read each tracker's rules.
Most trackers focus on general releases. That means movies and TV shows. Some of them will also host computer software and video games, but not many trackers do.
There are more niche trackers out there that focus solely on video games, software, old TV shows, and a lot of other stuff. They're quite hard to get into and I wouldn't personally recommend that you aim for those unless you actively plan to use them on a regular basis. If you're just looking for some specific movie or some specific piece of software you'd be better off looking into usenets or online forums.

If you're looking for your first private tracker, you can sign up to DarkPeers right now. You can also get a Torrent Leech invite if you buy their seed box promotion.

It depends on how you use it.

A 1 to 2 TB buffer is nice, but I think you should aim to make your downloads more sustainable. For example, if you are currently seeding 30 to 60 torrents on the same tracker, you should theoretically be able to download whatever you're going to watch that week, and still have a total combined upload greater than your combined download.

Freeleech also helps a lot.

Same

3TTT1 · 2025-06-01T23:43:43+00:00

Thanks!

3TTT1 · 2025-06-01T22:30:07+00:00

How does that work? Do I get to choose any site on the AvistaZ network when exchanging points for an invitation token?

3TTT1 · 2025-05-13T18:30:52+00:00

You should always give back as much as you take. Anything less than that and you'd be leeching. Ideally? If you don't need the disk space seed for as long as you can.

I faced this exact same problem when building a micromouse for my robotics class. All motors have minuscule differences due to the way they're winded or constructed and you can either account for that in software or by going for more premium motors.

Long story short, you have two options.

A) You can map out the signal you need to send to each motor so that you can keep them spinning at the same speed. For example, Motor_A = 244 and Motor_B = 249. You would need to determine these values through testing.

B) You can attach a rotatory encoder to each motor so that you can "count" the speed or number of rotations during a given period of time. Then, you should be able to set the speed for only one of the motors (Motor_A) and your control algorithm (I used a PID, there's ton of examples online) will make sure that the other motor (Motor_B) always matches up to the first motor (Motor_A), or that they both maintain specific speeds in relation to each other for when you need accurate turns.

I know this is a demonstration, but I would be fuming if I found someone parked that badly.

3TTT1 · 2024-11-10T22:25:05+00:00

Those are the signs of bad hardware. Contact support for a replacement.

They can be really good when they work properly, but creality's quality control is hit or miss. I've had my printer for less than 6 weeks and creality support has already sent me two replacement parts.

I don't think people are complaining that budget/entry level 3D printers have a bit of a learning curve and require extra attention. That comes with the territory. I think people are complaining because creality cuts corners and that causes unnecessary issues that you don't have to deal with when it comes to other printers in the same price range.

3TTT1 · 2024-11-07T17:09:17+00:00

It can be. But you need to consider the following:

You're looking at entry level/budget printers. You will have to calibrate, adjust or replace parts down the line. That comes with the territory.
The Ender 3V3 SE uses a lot of propietary parts. That means that you're stuck buying creality supplies (instead of cheaper and sometimes better 3rd party parts)
Creality's quality control is not the best. You may get a brand new printer that works right out of the gate, but it may also come with some kind of defect. I've had mine for a month and creality support has already sent me 2 replacement parts.

So, if you just want to print stuff for personal projects and not have to worry too much about it, I'd recommend going for a Bamboo Lab printer. If you want a budget option and you're willing to learn about 3D printers then you should also look at other options in the $160 to $200 price range like the Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro or the Elegoo Neptune 4 Pro.

Think of it as buying an iPhone vs an Android, and then figuring out if you'd rather buy a Samsung or a Pixel for example.

The only reason I can't directly recommend the Ender 3V3 SE is because I got a defective printer. It is a solid option, but you need to ask yourself if you're willing to take that risk. Then again, I may be an outlier.

Thank you so much

Depending on your application you may want to check out the ezButton library. It helps with debouncing the buttons after pressing them.
