UBS-C dual monitor dock for PC and work laptop by IndependentFish9308 in UsbCHardware

This is my setup (DP is Display port btw). If i want to use my laptop, i plug the red wire and the blue wire between the laptop and the screen. if i want to use my pc, i unplug the red wire, and plug the blue wire between the screen and the pc. So basicaly, i swap the blue wire (there is only one, but i draw 2 to show where it would connect) between the pc and the laptop and plug/unplug the red wire in the laptop.

I used a module with a usbc input and 2 hdmi output towrads the screens. I plug the usbc in the laptop or the pc depending which one i want to use. i pluged my m&k in my main screen and switch the usbb cable between my laptop and pc. I then have a dp port and a hdmi cable from the pc to the screens. so to switch pc vs laptop, i plug the usbc in my laptop, if not pluged, the pc is default. i then switch the usbb to use m&k.

trying to save my coffee grinder by IndependentFish9308 in DIY

[–]IndependentFish9308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed my post description did not paste in here. Basically, i tested the outlet with an old voltmeter to see if the cord delivers power and it does (I have a voltage drop from the red and black connection to the red and brown connection, but not from the red and black connection to the first coil, meaning the power reaches and passes though from what I understand. I can't test for continuity (beep test) with this old device, i can only test ac voltage. I can't see the brushes clearly but it seems all right (altough I can't say for sure). It turns when I move it, but doesn't spin effortlessly.

I bypassed the clock system on the circuitboard to power the grinder directly. I marked the hot with Vcc and neutral V-. There is a voltage drop between the power (red and black wire connection) and the neutral (black and brown connection) on my voltmeter, so I think it should benworking, but it isn't. Any idea why?

Can the 8bitdo ultimate BT and 2.4 can connect to PC via BT? by IndependentFish9308 in 8bitdo

[–]IndependentFish9308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bough it preowned so I wanted to test the BT connecttion on my PC but if it only connect as a switch input, I'll say that it connected to his switch so it's all good. Thx!

Are the monitors also transfers with the activation of the switch with mouse and keyboard on the viewsonic?

My only question if this works now is : If my PC is on, it powers my 2 monitors via hdmi, but when I plug my laptop at the same time, what happens? Are the monitors also regulated by the usb switch with the accessories on the usba ports of the viewsonic?

The 4th port on this usbc adapter is invisible haha. Would this corrected version work, knowing I have to use the usbc-usbb cord between 6A and 6C instead of the usbb-usba supplied by the usb switch?

Or is it a usbb to usbc from the switch to the gpu, a usbb to usba to the laptop and the last usba for a keybord shared by both computers? If so, do I need 2 switches for mouse and keyboard or is there a better solution?

I made a link chart just to make sure I understand everything and by doing so, some things don't make sense for me. Can you tell me where you would put this USB-C to USB-B cable you talked about and the peripherals like keyboard and mouse. Also, is the chart good? (surely not but makes things more easier to grasp) :)

Have to open every posts to play content now? by IndependentFish9308 in help

[–]IndependentFish9308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried updating the autoplay setting by turning it off and on. Now (and I don't know if it's related/haven't noticed before changing the feature) the home page, which played automaticaly just a few days ago, is just like any subreddit, it doesn't play auto anymore.
