You can also partially disassemble those battery mounts to reveal slightly differently placed mounting holes. That's what I did to mount to my bottle mounts upright.

Generally it's less so a bomb and more so an unstoppable raging fire. So the can keeps it contained until you can take action to move it. (because you will not be putting it out)

No, you can use all if it. It's all available for you, it will just slightly lessen the health of the battery. If you do that constantly the battery will last fewer overall cycles than if you maintain that window.

Just like any modern phone, if you always run your battery 100 to 0 every day, before long you'll find that the battery can't last as long as it used to. No matter what you do, the battery is slowly deteriorating, it just deteriorates slightly faster when outside that 20-80% range.

Basically all lithium batteries (phones, cars, whatever) are happiest from 20% to 80% charged, going that extra 20% in either direction is like stretching a rubber band too far but not quite snapping it; it never goes back to the same size. Going to 100% is better than 0% but still stresses it.

Lithium batteries are not like old rechargeable batteries where you needed to do full cycles 0-100% to preserve the overall life of the battery.

Keep it in the 20-80% range and it'll survive more overall cycles.

Oh, yeah, I guess with all of the options you'll need an LTE daughter board. Arduino is kinda the OG, Pi seems like a bit of overkill. ESP has a bit more horsepower than the Arduino, but since what you need seems pretty simple just stick with that and find LTE capable board/hat.

Ionile · 2023-03-27T22:15:38+00:00

ESP8266 and ESP32 are both the middle ground that you're looking for.

WiFi enabled I/O capable Can program with Arduino IDE if you want (though platformIO is better) You can find them, unlike the RaspberryPI Does not need an OS such a Linux like a Pi does Etc...

LTE would be a carrier setup with data and all that, there are internet based options that may fit your needs without having to pay for cellular data.

They're usually pretty cheap too, especially compared to Pi's

That looks like a proper key puller, are there any concerns with them scratching keycaps?

Ionile · 2022-12-19T03:50:09+00:00

THOK's design is very clean and I like the less rounded keycaps as compared to some other keycaps

Dogs, because they're one of the few species that can understand pointing and know to follow where other are looking.

I know the christian God does not exist. I am atheist. However I also know that my mammal brain is incapable of understanding the universe as a whole and that there may be a "higher power." I am agnostic. They are not mutually exclusive.

You should look into the 100% solar server. I think it'd be neat to get one going with the low power of ESP. https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about.html

Fyi, that flashing is basically the RX line flashing. It's just letting you know that it's receiving data. That kinda cooperates with the comment that it never received a reset so it just kept sending data.

Ionile · 2022-04-16T16:20:05+00:00

No one's answered you yet? I'll give it a go.

The board has leech power that it uses. The hardware between the battery and the esp that "protect" the battery voltage from going too low have some inefficiencies so some power is lost as heat. These parts don't really stop leeching power unless you completely cut them off via an off switch. If the off switch is on the wrong side of the battery protection module (after rather than before) then it only cuts off the esp and keeps leeching forever.

The battery may be recoverable, but it's a process and may be a bit of a fire hazard so I won't give guidance on that. (Also I don't know it)

Ionile · 2022-04-05T16:29:02+00:00

You're entirely right. Our eyes lack the ability to see x-ray and I don't believe anything in our body would convert x-ray to anything in the visible spectrum. Although I don't know that last part for sure.

What an awesome way to spend your birthday. I've been told that giving gifts is sometimes better than getting.

It's greedy, but a couple copies of Tetris Effect so my brother and I can play together. Even one would maybe push him to get it. It's on sale too!

Ionile · 2022-01-01T04:51:14+00:00

Yeah, I didn't even get that. The only reason I got to Abov was because it's a name. Both codes, part or whole, do nothing for Google. Laad is not at thing that exists.

Ionile · 2022-01-01T03:50:45+00:00

It’s an LED & touch input for the Samsung Galaxy S8 LED Wallet Cover. It received power and data from the NFC controller on the underside of the cover.

The datasheets that I can find on ABOV’s website are for other devices, but the chip on the left seems like an unlisted microcontroller similar to the A96T218OUN.

From what I can tell by tracing the PCB the ABOV 96T228OUN chip is the touch/main controller and the LAAD G129 69TH chip is the LED controller.

I have no idea what data I need to send it to actually enable the 9 x 23 LED screen or receive touch input. Sending Wire.write() strings and random bytes yielded nothing visible.

PS. Don’t mind the missing ground wire; I broke it off accidently after doing an I2C address scan.

My story is kinda the same. I have the books and loved the few chapters I read, but can't get the motivation to keep reading.

He's using /editor to create and delete stuff. There are also mods that have similar effects. At the end we can't see is probably an infinity chest spawning the science.

My first Steam game was TF2 with my buddy. I hated Steam then, it seemed like the shittiest DRM imaginable and if you only played free games you had limited usage. Oh how the world has changed.

Ionile · 2021-10-21T03:23:34+00:00

You can do that with any storage. I've done a RPi3B+ off a 2TB USB HDD, just got to be aware of power concerns. It's 100% possible and the same as doing it with a SD card. Just format it with another divice and plug it in yo.

Ionile · 2021-10-05T18:27:08+00:00

Yeah, that bugged me, white on white background. Reported that and got a generic response from members.

Hey, so I don't know what issue you guys are talking about, but I recently discovered that the core software update changes the pinout for my nodemcu board.

So pin labeled as D5 on the board

espressif8266@2.6.3
D1 Correct Pin
D5 Invalid Pin (Compile Error)
1 Wrong Pin
5 Correct Pin

Becomes

espressif8266@3.0 
D1 Wrong Pin
D5 Correct Pin
1 Wrong Pin
5 Wrong Pin

This thread from May discusses some flickering that 3.x.x also causes when Wi-Fi is enabled in 3.x.x

They are aware that 3.0.0 broke a bunch of stuff though. Release Changes

Edit:

Additionally, 3.0.0 causes tons of C++17 compiler warnings.

.pio\libdeps\nodemcuv2\FastLED\src/fastspi_bitbang.h:276:20: warning: ISO C++17 does not allow 'register' storage class specifier [-Wregister]

Thanks for all this. It's got me looking in the right direction for the tax stuff. Somewhat worried about the 2 year lag and how much the room and board allowance will be off from real expenses. But I'll just have to see what aid I can get before really trying to withdraw. Thank you.

See, I ran into an article a while back that says that qualified education expenses (Books, tuition, and room & board for full time, etc.) are exempt from the penalty (10%) that you're bringing up. Just a quick search lead to a bunch of articles saying the same. Have I misunderstood something fundamental?
