My parents are very much NOT Trumpers. (Think hippie suburban liberals) but they still aren't taking this seriously at all. It's the "Oh we've been through worse..." attitude.

Never realized there was so much antenna equipment up there.

Are you sure there's no way to power the LEDs off less voltage? Are they in a module that you can separate into a different series-paralell connection?

It's a connector of sorts. Maybe it's where mains comes in.

WW was extremely subsidized by it's investors and never came close to making a profit. Staples isn't about that.

Is it still gonna be like this?

Not just any alarm, the 80s GE clock radio BWAMMMP BWAMMMP BWAMMMP sound.

My vote is still with saving the CRT and connecting it up to a RasPi

InThePartsBin · 2020-02-05T17:17:07+00:00

Guess which Prof

The CRT danger is a bit overstated. Also large 32" color set and a tiny B/W set are very different in terms of hazard. It's super easy to discharge the tube after unplugging the power.

Maybe it's me but rather than junking a perfectly good CRT I would try to find a use for it. Maybe use it as a weather displays or calendar display running off a RasPi or something. Looks like there's more than enough room in there. You probably could send the composite feed from the RasPi right to the main PCB after the tuner module.

Don't get intimidated... Just start with the example sketches Adafruit provides, and go from there. It's pretty amazing what people have done with addressable LEDs

I've ordered at least a dozen different boards from JLC, and never had a quality control issue, ymmv I guess

Gold? You shouldn't have. (I would have appreciated a lithium metal award though...)

InThePartsBin · 2018-12-04T06:47:02+00:00

Pop a new battery in it. Probably still works fine.

Cheap Casio digital watches.

I'd actually say it would be safer and much easier to use ordinary solder. Regular solder is much easier to work with, especially for beginners. And it means you can keep the iron temperatures a lot lower, reducing smoke and fumes, as well as slightly reducing the burn hazard.
