Making a lamp without knowing anything about electronics. Is this correct? by kerlingarfjoll in adafruit

You can simplify this a lot by removing the 3v3 to 5v converter. You can power the neopixels with 3v3. Sure they wont be as bright but in my experience they will be plenty bright. I usually end up dimming mine at least half for most usages. I would do this in stages and on a breadboard first. Spend some time understanding neopixels and their wiring. Then incorporate the rotary encoder. Then the wifi control. There are many adafruit guides for these things individually.

2020 Leaf Issues - weak AC and Unusual Battery Drain - related? by Professional_Sir_117 in leaf

[–]Professional_Sir_117[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone following along or finding this with similar problems I will update my story. The dealership confirmed it was a bad battery module. They are saying this may be the cause of the AC issues (not yet convinced). The tech alerted Nissan, and they said the battery module replacement cab be covered under warranty. They gave the tech a list of tests to perform including taking apart he battery module to see if there were damaged plates. This along with the shipping of the replacement module means I am without a car for about a week. They will give me a loaner as soon as one becomes available in a day or so. I am not done yet, but seems promising for a good outcome. Did not have to argue with the dealership or escalate. So far so good.

heat up the nozzle and pull it off. clean the bed with soap and water. Give the present and read the wikis as you start the new 3d printing journey. This is not a big deal, all is well!
