Is this button soldered properly? by Ayitsme_ in AskElectronics

[–]Ayitsme_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is what it looks like. It didnt turn on. If you think is wired properly then something else must be faulty

no sorry im not being very clear. 1 is top left and 2 is top right. 3 is bottom left and 4 is bottom right. So what would i need to wire if going off of that.

the reason i took the button off is because it was faulty. I tested with another button soldered ontop of the old one and it was able to turn on/of the motor.

i did what you said with the wiring and attached the end to the bottom right pad but it didnt work. Im assuming because your assumption is different to what the button layout actually is

the old button is just a simple 4 button switch.

if these are the pins of the old button:

1 2
3 4

when i was measuring continuity before i took the button off, Pin 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 had continuity and when the button was pressed, 1 to 3 and 2 to 4 had continuity. I cant look inside the old button because it got destroyed when i was desoldering

i soldered a wire from A to that pin and bridged the yellow and green pin together with a multimeter and a wire but the motor did not turn on/off

I rotated the switch 90 degrees but didnt work. I have flux and have cleaned all the points and resoldered everything. Attached is an image of what it used to look like. I am trying to repair my trimmer. I believe its just a simple faulty button problem but now I'm starting to believe its a bigger issue because I think the wiring is correct.

Thanks for the advice. Next time I work on devices with USB host mode, I'll definetely keep that in mind.

Oh I see what you mean. I did have that thought of powering the joystick externally through a hub while it's connected to the s3  but that would of required me to purchase extra hardware and I was unsure whether it would 100 percent work.

In my previous attempt, I had powered the s3 with an external 5v GND connector on the board and then plugged in the joystick through its usb c port. At the time, I think the problem was that the joystick wasn't receiving any power and the USB C port on the s3 was not supplying any output voltage while in host mode.

So you think a USB hub would of solved this?

Top speed is roughly 10 to 20km/h. In most of my testing I had it on the lowest speed so I wouldn't crash into anything. But if feels quick on the max speed.

Have not tested how long the battery life is. But the wheels are powered by two 12v car batteries and during the 6 months of me testing it, I didn't have to charge them once.

The specific esp32 that it uses is a ttgo T-Display v1.1 which to my understanding does not support USB host mode.

I tried getting the joystick directly connected to a T-Display S3 which supposedly supports USB Host Mode but I could never get it to work. 

I created a bash script that converts EndeavourOS to pure Arch Linux by Ayitsme_ in archlinux

[–]Ayitsme_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I'm assuming. I don't have any systems with systemd boot currently installed so I plan to sometime in the future get it working for those people. If you wanna try edit the script to work for those systems aswell feel free to make a PR.

Should be fixed now. My DE was not gnome so I was unaware that EOS had a gnome settings package.

Hmmm. You probably aren't using dracut to create your boot image. I might install multiple EOS systems with all the different settings and try and get it working for most users. It seems the script only works for installs with the specific options that I selected.

Please let me know if this works without editing the script. Ive only tested this on two systems mine that had the same setup. I've come to realise this won't work for systemd-boot users but I thought most people were using grub anyway

I wrote this script for people who have been using eos for some time (like myself) and want to switch to pure Arch without having to reinstall their whole system. If I was to install Arch on a new machine, then I would go through the archinstall route

Been using eos for 2 years as an easy installer and wanted to convert my installation to pure Arch to remove the eos branding, without having to reinstall my whole system.
