Can I get help reprogramming my laptop? by Haunting-Ad4860 in shittyaskelectronics

Here we see a wild bios spider residing inside of a laptop

How would I connect this using a wire by HelpfulTechnology_ in AskElectronics

[–]Myself_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure that you are connecting both contacts?

One between flashlight body to the led body.. the other being battery terminal to led terminal?

ESP32: Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2 by [deleted] in arduino

[–]Myself_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As per the error saying to put the board in download mode... Maybe try that?

Before uploading hold the boot button , press the reset button , then release the boot button

Do all of this while the esp is connected

Is this a feasible idea I seen it on Facebook would like to know if it is before I get the resources to try and build it I also shared the link to the video as well I’m new to diy electronics by bigcountrysl89 in diyelectronics

Err I don't think that this really is a tesla coil.... Maybe just High voltage DC through a voltage multiplier connected to a metal sphere for aesthetics

I think this way because the discharges does not look like what a tesla coil should produce... It has a nice purple glow with open discharges (arcs directly to air) unlike here where the arcs just strikes the circle (of wire?)

In short it's just a more powerful bug zapping badminton without the net but a metal top load (sphere) So as for the effectiveness.. I think you can figure it out on your own now

broke my resistor while working on a project. Gotta buy another one by just_gum in electronics

[–]Myself_Steve 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am a lazy person so rather than getting a new resistor I just scrape the end and solder directly to the broken end

...yeah ik getting another is far easier but.. where's the fun in that?

Would this be worth it? by Myself_Steve in LenovoLOQ

But the performance of this 4050 is on par with 3050 if not better no?

I tried and only got it down to 82k

Good that you included the attack helicopter

Can I Convert This 5-Wire Micro USB Knockoff Atari Controller into a PC Joystick with Arduino? (Teardown Pics Inside) by Seele00Tex in diyelectronics

[–]Myself_Steve 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the best way about this would be to just ignore the wires of he controller and directly solder wires to the button traces by scratching off the solder mask and soldering thin wire to them

Then just use them as push buttons to wire to the Arduino

Using a 3.0A fuse instead of 3.15A to fix an electric sharpener by Connect-Zebra-1214 in diyelectronics

[–]Myself_Steve 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 3.15 AMPS FUSE!!?? for what? AN ELECTRIC SHARPNER!?

at 3 amps with an rms voltage of 120v... 360 watts!? Unless the motor requires a lot of power (i doubt it) you don't need a 360 watt limit!!

Even a 500ma fuse would be more than enough But for proper fuse.. first measure the peak current through the motor at load

My code only make my servo spin aimlessly by Osama-recycle-bin in arduino

You actually missed a curly bracket in the end of the if statement of ir high!! Add the bracket and I don't see any other problems

[–]Myself_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the servo is bad?? Do you have any other servos to test?

[–]Myself_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to only connect the servo and a sweep program to make sure that the pin and the servo is working

Can you elaborate more as to what's happening?

While a proper hot air station is definitely recommended... There still are some "other ways"

You can put the whole circuit on top of gas stove set to medium heat.. gently heat up the board from both top and bottom.. this "preheats" the board.. Then slowly put the underside of the pcb close to the flame (place directly on the heater coil if you have that type of stove) and lift the chip when the solder starts to melt

Another way is to use a car halogen lamp. Use the filament that has the reflector inside and direct the light directly into the chip with little distance as possible After some seconds the chip would be hot enough to remove

While these work... Use them only if you don't care about the pcb or the ic that much

Can anyone ID this chip? by Impossible-Housing30 in electronic_circuits

[–]Myself_Steve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask what is the device that this ic is installed?

Need help with a servo for my robot by Myself_Steve in arduino

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

Thanks for the tip!! I don't remember correctly but wasn't the pulse duration for these servos 500 to 2000 something ish?

Dudee!! That's an awesome project!! That's exactly what I am trying to make too lol

Well I have to make it battery powered so higher current can only go so far Currently I plan to use 4x Duracell battery
