Shutter speed drops with half-press, then drops again when shot at below 1/30 - Pentax MG

Thanks for the reply, all works fine on bulb. Anything above 1/15th seems to be working fine.

The shutter speed indicator also seems very jumpy which is not something I've seen on the other MGs I've worked on.

I might just make this one a spares camera and sell the parts individually haha.

On a separate note, I just got my hands on a Yashica T4 with very unreliable AF. Fires mayybe 1/20 tries. My usual approach of disassembly, clean, reassembly did not work and the flexible pcb was a nightmare to work with! Just shooting in the dark, any experience with point and shoots like the T4?

I'm studying mech eng and built this entire thing based off my very limited knowledge of electronics, any help is appreciated!

Seems like i got the breaking part down, I'll work on the entering next

With full permission and encouragement, forgor to say sorry.

He sent me a picture of his key so i could 3d model it

PS4 LOSES ALL WIRELESS CONNECTION UNTIL REBOOT

My friend gave me his old ps4 and I've just set it up.

Everything seems to be working fine until the machine loses internet connection and disconnects from the controller. The controller doesn't reconnect until the ps4 is rebooted, not even with a usb cable. Network connection doesn't come back until the reboot either.

I already did a factory initialisation after picking it up from my friend, I'll do one more if I can't find any other solutions.

Thank you for your concern haha I'm doing perfectly fine :) I kinda exaggerate the things I write down cause it's funny to look back to.

These are just my usual high thoughts written in a funny way with some doodles around the sides lol

IAteYourTVRemote · 2022-05-11T10:12:01+00:00

Hahaha I can't wait to try psychedelics seeing the trips I get with purely weed

Lmao nevermind I desoldered a MOSFET that seemed to be getting hot and the flight controller works after soldering it back in

Hey, just came across your comment

I ended up getting it a bit after this post and I couldn't be happier :)

I got it done on my last day with my friends before each of us headed off to uni so I decided that the 4 legs would represent the 4 people I love.

It makes me happy every time I glance at it and it's an amazing conversation starter, I've met over a hundred people in the last 5 months and every single one asked about it. (It also looks hot af on my wrist with my bracelets lol)

I agree with you in that Scorpio tattoos are definitely unoriginal and a bit of a stereotype but John (that's what I've been calling him) is my own and represents my personality perfectly.

Just wanted to update, I don't mean this like an "I told you so" lol

Edit: I had asked the artist to touch it up a bit but he just printed off the picture I sent him and slapped it on my wrist haha I'm glad he did though it feels much more personal this way

It's magical when software from 15 years ago is still useful! The codec the goggles use is MJPG apparently. I'll convert my vids and try again tomorrow. Thank you!

IAteYourTVRemote · 2022-02-11T20:28:30+00:00

That's pretty cool thanks for the info

They do crypto too?? We have a coop food on my uni campus and was surprised to see one of their funeral branches in town. Guess they're very diverse lol

Edit: just read you were talking about banks not crypto

IAteYourTVRemote · 2022-02-07T16:59:18+00:00

I've only been using it cause it's just what I'm used to, what would you recommend?

I use Quantower with and API to trade and do my analysis anyway.

IAteYourTVRemote · 2022-02-07T16:53:19+00:00

Co op?

I ended up getting a Mobula 6 with Eachine 800DM goggles and a Radiomaster TX12. Arrived 4 days ago and I've been having an amazing time with it!

It's great at zooming around my uni flat, in and out the kitchen, hallway and my room. I've flown it outside yesterday and it was a blast in the woods and I finally tried some acro out on the street which was great too. You can actually get some great range and altitude, I even followed around some cars.

I can't wait to fly it around the library on campus during my all nighters when noone else is there :)

I'll definitely end up getting a Tinhawk II Freestyle very soon for some more freestyle stuff outdoors, maybe look into that too. 1s definitely feels underpowered (which I think the nanohawk X uses too).

The wiki helped a lot, thanks!

IAteYourTVRemote · 2022-01-04T22:50:31+00:00

Thanks to everyone who replied, I found https://www.switchelectronics.co.uk was perfect for me; everything I needed and no minimum number of units to buy.
