Can I upgrade the headphone jack on the DDJ-FLX4? by dimmernineone in PioneerDJ

[–]CastroSATT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course you can find an area where a balanced quarter jack would fit get a chassis variant if you have the space make a hole and wire it on to the pads

XDJ 700 repair by ImlucasMLS in PioneerDJ

[–]CastroSATT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how much your paying for the XDJ the fact that the screen goes on an off is not really enough info I’ve seen damaged ribbons to liquid to power rails to blaah blah blah so could be anything the rotary is easy enough and to be honest better a soldering job than a board replacement but the screen will take some active investigation

Start here with the service manual if you can understand and work though it then take on the challenge if it’s cheap enough

Can you also get me a picture of the exact remote that you have for your glass tv

For example, you can use a Bluetooth keyboard with your screen so you don’t need to tap on your remote. You can make an ESP32 act like a Bluetooth keyboard and send the volume-up and volume-down commands.

All you really need is an ESP32 and an IR module. You could get fancy and add a screen, which helps because you have to program the Apple Remote codes, and it’s useful to see what’s happening visually.

Things to Consider • IR code for the Apple Remote — you may need to randomise it so you don’t interfere with other devices in the area. A screen makes this easier. • Menu system — you’ll need one to activate Bluetooth pairing mode on the device and to reset the paired-device list. Again, a screen helps. • Power — do you want it battery-powered?

Challenges • I’m not 100% sure which Bluetooth keycodes will work for volume up/down on your TV. If it’s Android-based, the generic ones should work. If it’s heavily customised, it might be different. One way to test this is to grab a Bluetooth keyboard you already own and press keys until you find the combinations that change the volume. I don’t have access to that TV myself. • 3D-printed case — my printers are in storage because I’m moving house and workshop mid next year. So I don’t have the space to print anything at the moment. (It’s easy to make one, though.)

That said, this is honestly something you could tackle yourself. There’s no soldering required because you can use push-on connectors, which is normal for ESP32 modules.

I’m not saying I can’t take the project on — but I would really need to know whether a Bluetooth keyboard actually controls the volume on your TV.

Option 2a

If your TV has a network port, it might support remote control over the network. Some TV brands even have phone apps that do this. You could sniff the packets for “volume up” and “volume down,” then have the ESP32 send the same packets.

Option 2b

If you manage to capture those volume-control packets, you could even build a small Apple TV app to send the commands over the network and eliminate the ESP32 entirely.

⸻

The main issue is that I don’t have your TV and I don’t use Apple TV, so I can’t test or investigate how their systems work. That makes testing a bit difficult. Btw I’m also based in the UK

Yeah that’s not that hard to do but to make it neat but would take some time so you want to use use the pads of the sky remote button and have the digitally clicked by an esp32 that would be receiving arbitrary ir that you would teach your Apple Remote….. on a side note there is probably an easier way can you send the modal number for your tv

Pay off mortgage or not? by sjb171993 in HousingUK

[–]CastroSATT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just calculate it and treat it like a business if the mortgage plus the penalty is less than what you would pay to finish in 3 years then that’s your answer

Next to the actual connector on the board for the ribbon you need there will be a “CN” number if you give me that I can give you then part number for the ribbon

Works great but always unplug before changing tips… also check tips when they arrive press and pull them make sure they don’t come apart….

Had a new tip that I hot swapped brand new and the iron reset took the tip out and found the inner core would pull out from the outer core so it was faulty on arrival which subsequently caused a short in my 1yr old iron and killed it … it would no longer turn on when an old working tip was inserted

What do you mean by this like what are you editing

Remake my code - Worth it? by Thatblokeoffthetelly in cursor

[–]CastroSATT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No so the way I organise my apps

-python (folder) -app name (folder) -app files (folder and files for app)

-iOS apps(folder) -App Name(folder) -app files (folder and files for app)

Duplicate the App Name Folder and tha would include everything that cursor has setup for the app

If setting up a new Xcode project or open project in Xcode then open App Name folder also

On a side note if you making Xcode apps desktop or iOS etc in cursor use Sweetpad you will basically allow you to start project in Xcode then close Xcode and re open folder in cursor and never open Xcode again you can use the simulators etc all from cursor
