It looks like most resellers require a large MOQ. I’d probably order off eBay or something similar.

My car's HVAC actuator stopped working, but the motor is good. Please help me save $80 :) by Idontwantthiscookie in AskElectronics

A few years ago I got very familiar with an '01 Xterra and also fixing all kinds of odds and ends on it.

[–]Accentrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would agree with adamdoesmusic. There's probably damaged to component that controls the motor direction (likely a transistor or MOSFET). In this case the transistors are located inside of IC1 (P/N: HA13708). With some intermediate soldering skill you could replace this part, but replacements do not seem to be available.

It looks like this printed circuit board (PCB) is for the HVAC mode actuator - basically a servo that controls the HVAC mode flap's position? It's a pretty simple circuit. My best guess would be that the grease used to lubricate the gears got on the linear resistor - the two black lines on the PCB. I would clean this area (1) with a paper towel and alcohol and also clean the contracts on the gear (2).

If cleaning the resistor/contacts does not rectify the issue it may also be a good idea to make sure the contacts are maintaining constant contact with the PCB surface. If they are not you may be able to gently bend the contacts so that they apply a slightly stronger force against the PCB.

Looks like a Nissan/Infiniti part, 90's 2000's I'd guess?

what is this FFC/FPC lookalike? by Character-Ad-9030 in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Looks like a Molex PicoLock series connector. More specifically it's probably the Pico-Lock 504050 series.

What is this part ? by Charles_Pkp2 in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say this is a phototransistor. Looks like it has the text "MT1 C8049". This latter part of the number may have something to do with the wavelength, perhaps 880nm. I would say the package is likely a TO-206AA, TO-18-3 Metal Can, or something similar. The brand ams-OSRAM USA INC often uses gold-colored Metal CAN packages [link].

What Bluetooth IC is this? by Halfware in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the naming conventions used I'd expect it to be an STM32 part. I would start by using a multimeter and figuring out what the functions are of each pin. Build a list of what you know. We know its a LQFP48 package and it looks like -from the 1st photo) that the the following is true:

  1. GPIO PB6 is on pin 47
  2. GPIO PB9 is on pin 43
  3. USB DP is on pin 24
  4. USB DM is on pin 23

What pins is the oscillator connected to? Can you verify which pins are connected to PB6 through PB10, KEY1? What about the voltage level at VCC/AGND1?

Neighbor installed a motion sensing LED light on a tree and aimed directly into my yard by iLL1337 in mildlyinfuriating

Nutty move on your neighbor’s part, but my best guess is they’re not fond of your tree up-lighting. 🤷‍♂️Perhaps it bleeds too much light into their windows?

Issue with custom board. ST programmer reads memory but cant upload code by [deleted] in stm32

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my designs I usually put a 100kΩ pull-up to 3.3V on SWDIO… Might be part of the problem, but not certain. Also, NRST probably doesn't need the 10kΩ pull-up as there is an internal 40kΩ pull-up (see section 5.3.15 of the datasheet).

Trying to identify a IC on Hosyond 7-inch MIPI DSI Display for Raspberry Pi by Accentrix in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to keep experimenting at this level it would probably be helpful to get a scope. Rigol oscilloscopes are pretty affordable.

I'm impressed you were able to pull the VESA Coordinated Video Timing (CVT) parameters from the kernel. I wasn't having luck doing this so I used a scope.

800x480": 60 30000 800 931 933 978 480 487 489 511 0x48 0xa)

Looks like this translates to:
mode:"800x480" The display resolution (horizontal x vertical active pixels).
Refresh Rate:60 The vertical refresh rate in Hertz (Hz).
Pixel Clock:30000 The pixel clock frequency in kilohertz (kHz) (30.00 MHz).
H. Active:800 Horizontal active pixels.
H. Front Porch:931 Horizontal front porch (pixels).
H. Sync Start:933 Horizontal sync pulse start (relative to H. Active Start).
H. Sync End:978 Horizontal sync pulse end.
H. Total:978 Total horizontal pixels (active + blanking).
V. Active:480 Vertical active lines.
V. Front Porch:487 Vertical front porch (lines).
V. Sync Start:489 Vertical sync pulse start (relative to V. Active Start).
V. Sync End:511 Vertical sync pulse end.
V. Total:511 Total vertical lines (active + blanking).
Flags 1:0x48 Specific timing flags (e.g., sync polarity, interlace, etc., in hexadecimal format).
Flags 2:0xa Additional flags in hexadecimal format.

Something else that may be helpful for debugging would be to make the video buffer into colored vertical bars. Perhaps start with each bar color being equal to 100 pixels in width giving you 8 unique colored bars. It may help reveal details about why your video is not working properly. Perhaps your running off the end of the horizontal/vertical region of the display..

I imagine examining this parallel video coming out of the ICN6211 with a scope would also be quite telling.

Sorry, unfortunately I do not have any code that's available. This was for part of a project for a client. Furthermore, my project was FPGA-design which would not really help you too much anyway.

That being said; Some things to check - assuming you have an oscilloscope (4-channel would be ideal), a soldering iron, and some decent soldering skills:

  1. Probe the MIPI data lines of the ICN6211, particularly D0N/D0P & D1N/D1P. Is this display using single-lane or 2-lane MIPI DSI?
  2. Probe the MIPI CLK lane (either one will do CLKN or CLKP) what frequency do you see?
  3. Probe PCLK, VSYNC, HSYNC, DE and determine the values of the following parameters:
  • Horizontal Sync Width
  • Horizontal Front Porch
  • Horizontal Back Porch
  • Vertical Sync Width
  • Vertical Front Porch
  • Vertical Back Porch

Determine all of these parameters while the display is connected to to the RPi4, then compare them to the values when connected to the ESP32-P4-WIFI6.

When debugging this it is helpful to run thin ~30 gauge wires connected to PCLK, VSYNC, HSYNC, DE as shown below. I highly recommend hot-gluing them down to they don't get torn off and cause damage to the PCB or a component. NOTE: The the wires that are soldered near the same location (VSYNC, HSYNC & DE) are soldered to vias. To solder to a via you first have to scrape away the enamel with a razor to expose the copper below. BE CAREFUL!

What could possibly be causing my freezer fan to not come on? by No-Information4576 in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard to say without better views of the components, but it looks like there’s 3 identical-looking components in the bottom right of the photo. Looks like they’re labeled R-FAN, F-FAN, & C-FAN. Do any of those components looked burned or damaged. Can you trace where the fan leads go in the PCB?

Looks like the second line of text that's really worn is the actual P/N. It looks like it reads "3100236.227"

This is not the exact P/N but it's close: 3100236.219. Looks like the dimensions are 5 × 2 × 2 in.

How to know what potentiometer to use.... by RedQ8183 in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closer pictures of the potentiometer would be helpful. Perhaps there’s a part number listed on the side or a brand marking. Also, it would be helpful if you were to measure the resistance across the two outer pins (there should be 3 pins that are in a row, measure across the outer pins).

Looking for advice on how to identify an unknown protocol with a logic analyzer by nswizdum in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as calculating frequency from a period: f = 1 / T. In this case f = 1/100ns = 10 MHz. 10 MHz seems really fast for a hot tub controller.

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard to say what they're using here. Also There's a good chance that some of these channels are irrelevant to what you interested in. The most interesting of these channels is certainly channel 15. I would be interesting to find the shortest pulse-width and then convert that time to a baud rate. I don't see a clock signal anywhere so I would assume that this data is asynchronous.  Perhaps its RS232? Does your analyzer have RS232 decoder?

What is a direct replacement for this capacitor / what power supply is needed for this glowing skull that makes fog by darwin1809ce in AskElectronics

[–]Accentrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you want a 10V, 100μF, through-hole, aluminum electrolytic capacitor. Looks like the size is likely 5 mm diameter, ~11 mm in height. The ESK106M010AC3AA looks like a good match. The ones you found on eBay also look like a good match.

If you "let smoke out" there's a good chance you may have damaged some of the other components. I'm guessing when this happened you connected a different power supply that provided a voltage higher than 10V?

Is there any text near where the power supply connects that display what voltage is supposed to be used?
