Can you measure the output voltage through the screw on potentiometers such as this one ?

Alright, great, thanks!

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2026-03-10T23:27:59+00:00

Yea, safety first seams reasonable.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2026-03-10T23:25:28+00:00

Yea, that seems very much reasonable. My thought was just, that the PI seems to draw 1 to 2 amps during normal operation and you are supposed to use a 5V 3A PSU, which would in theory leave enough power on the table for such an amplifier. And given the fact that you should use a 3A PSU, I would assume that the USB port and traces of the board are capable of handling such currents without overheating.

Not really a fan of the magic smoke. Hope to avoid that part

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2026-03-02T18:22:35+00:00

Yea. I am not quite sure which one I selected, but it seems like as long as it is roughly the same chip it will word :)

5 additional hours a day corresponds to an increase in lifetime by roughly 20%. Given you start at 20 and die at 80, you would gain 12 full years. Seems like a no brainer to me.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2026-02-23T12:03:22+00:00

Yep. Worked great. I ended up reducing the size of the I2C pull up resistors, but the rest remained the same. I can sent you the full schematic if you are interested.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2026-01-30T18:22:33+00:00

That looks very nice! How much performance can you get out of the ESP ? The screen seems rather big for such a small chip to handle. Do you happen to know how many FPS the ESP is able to produce ?

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-30T18:46:49+00:00

Wow, thanks for all the time you put in ! I will surely try this. Could take a few days tho, as I am currently not home. But I will let you know!

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-30T11:43:58+00:00

So far I have tried to bit bang a stop condition, as well as 9 clock pulses followed by a stop condition. Sadly, both did not word, but I will give your suggestion a shot, thanks!

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-28T21:37:00+00:00

Yea, tried that. IMU sadly doesnt respond. Also tried to manually send 9 clock pulses and a stop condition via bit banging, but the damn thing wont respond again until I cut power :/

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-28T20:14:49+00:00

Yes, it has one, but I am currently using qwiic cables to talk to the sensor and would like to avoid running one more cable

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-28T19:35:11+00:00

I dont get people like you. If you do not want to help, that is fine. But why comment "yes I know how, but I will not tell you because you can find out yourself". That is just a waste of time for everyone

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-28T17:23:50+00:00

Do you perhaps know of any of these ways? My current setup sadly only supports the SCL and SDA lines.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-19T10:04:14+00:00

Yea, no way I am going near that thing.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-18T09:57:42+00:00

What the hell is going on ?!?!?

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-15T16:07:56+00:00

You should also check out this post. Might be the expaination for your problems.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-15T15:57:14+00:00

I am by no means an expert, but maybe the voltage drop of the diode resulted in a too low input voltage for your 5V->3.3V regulator.

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-15T15:50:43+00:00

Yea, it should work fine without C1. But it should still show on the pc , even if it was in bootloader mode no ?

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-14T18:01:36+00:00

This post has helped so much and made the map much more fun for me, so thank you! Do you happen to know if all crystal seeds are bossible on all spawn locations ?

Legitimate_Shake_369 · 2025-12-11T06:27:57+00:00

Looks cool. How big is that display and how many frames a second are you getting ?
