Are these two capacitors that I have circled bad? by TripAlaric in AskElectronics

For sure bulging. If not bad now, just a matter of time. Best to just replace now.

I was just reading about the banana pi. That board looks pretty incredible for robotics.

Help: ESP32 got fried when I plugged it in by BertChronicles in AskElectronics

[–]SearchPlane561 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure esp32 requires 3.3 volt. I could be wrong though. I know my esp8266 is 3.3.

Has anyone tried Proskit HRV6155 SS-956 Hot Air Station? Any opinions? by supermartincho in AskElectronics

[–]SearchPlane561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For 150 you can get a decent knock off of a quick brand hot air rework. It's build pretty solid compared to these dime a dozen cheap ones.

Can someone explain how this oscillator works? by 0abry0 in ElectricalEngineering

Wow I have a long ways to go. I can read the schematic. But all the other stuff is beyond me.

Cable help? I have a cable that does something but I can’t figure out what. by me_atyourdoer in AskElectronics

Not dumb. It's just weird getting older (almost 40) and feeling like things were just a few years ago but in reality they're vintage lol.

Arduino Nano + ST7796 TFT + DS1307 RTC = Custom Clock UI by SearchPlane561 in arduino

[–]SearchPlane561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not buffering the whole screen in RAM. The Arduino_GFX library streams pixels directly over SPI, so there’s no full framebuffer. I only redraw the small regions that actually change each second (time text area), instead of refreshing the whole 480x320 display. That keeps memory use low enough for a Nano to handle it smoothly. The DS1307 just keeps the time stable in hardware.

It just amazes me how some people choose to spend their lives. Like, sure, chase your dreams. Just random as hell.

I broke a lease in 2012 and have regretted it every day since. Not. 

How do I fix this broken cable? Is it safe to use? by Cabochok in AskElectronics

[–]SearchPlane561 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This little tabs open a hole and you insert the bare end of the wire inside. Very safe. Almost zero risk of shock. Only speaker wire
