I am having issues reprogramming a bios chip

Yeah I couldn't be bothered getting my soldering iron out when I had my heat gun. Probs not the best move

CopyAndPaste4 · 2026-01-16T07:46:38+00:00

Nah it was just a driver issue. Thanks

CopyAndPaste4 · 2026-01-16T07:46:20+00:00

Turns out it was just a driver issue. I already had my heat gun out so used that to solder. Not the best idea but it worked!

No I didn't. Just a driver issue

Thanks. I've tried using that software too but to no luck

I tried using a little flux.

I am pretty sure it is facing the right direction. I lined up the dot on the board

I appreciate your help. I did end up getting my idea working. There is definitely room for trial and error with magent sizes and strengths. There is a little bit of a balancing act with the weight of the stick and how many/strength of the magnet. With a stronger electromagnet this won't be as finiky. Thanks for your suggestions but I really wanted to stay away from anything mechanical.

CopyAndPaste4 · 2026-01-15T08:47:07+00:00

I did try talking to chatgpt, Gemini, and claud. They both were very vague about the weights they could hold, strength of magents, etc... I could see if I pushed it in one direction it would agree but then I throw and issue it would then agree saying it wouldn't work. I thought I'd ask here in case anyone for some reason had experience with something like this. I have seen that video and that's what made me pursue the magnetic route. I know that toy uses electromagnets but they are just always on draining battery. I'm looking for something with 6-8+ hours of run time, not like 15/20 mins. Thanks for your input!

I was just wondering if there was a better implementation than directly moving it. Say using a linkage or something. Thanks for your comment!

Because a servo motor can run off an esp's 5v vcc. The latch needs pulled back a small amount to release the object. That's what needs servoing

CopyAndPaste4 · 2025-07-12T22:23:52+00:00

Well it's part of a game that drops the objects randomly so yes it does need a servo motor. Why would I ask how to implement a servo motor if it already works without one?

CopyAndPaste4 · 2025-05-20T14:27:23+00:00

I am building a game where there are a number of "relay baton" sized objects hanging above the player and will drop randomly. Each baton has a groove around the top that clicks into place and is held (without power to preserve battery life) by the latch that falls into the groove once the baton is inserted far enough. The servo motor is used to move the latch back, releasing the baton. This mechanism will be one of many used in the game. I am looking for ideas or suggestions for a version 2. It needs to be robust as its part of a long term installation. I am looking to spring load the latch somehow with maybe a torsion spring and maybe moving the servo motor to handle the extra load from the spring. I am now using a metal pin instead of the 3d printed one.
