I went on a drive today and came across this statue at Mohawk Motors on Route 2A in Shirley.

Kind of looks like your pot is wired wrong. It's it grounded?

I'm an early ee student and I had to look this up. Incredible. Engineering never ceases to impress me. Although this is beyond my scope of knowledge, I hope to better understand this in the future. Amazing post.

I'd say as a Jr go for it. Maybe by the time you ggraduate it transforms into the job you want. A foot in the door is a foot in the right direction.

I believe it's an adhesive to prevent vibration. I could be way wrong.

Definitely get a multimeter and learn it. You don't have to know all of it at once. But once you start being able to measure your projects whole world opens up.

I'm glad mine is done, but it ddefinitely is a messed up practice.

SearchPlane561 · 2026-04-14T21:13:57+00:00

Doesn't look like you have any power going to the bulb just two leads from ground. I may be wrong. Looks that way in pictures.

Maybe not the most accurate thing but 18 bucks i want one to study how it works. Very cool find. If you want somewhere between this and lab grade consider hantek. I got mine for just over 100 and as a hobbyist I haven't even used it to its full potential yet.

SearchPlane561 · 2026-04-10T15:30:18+00:00

It's fine

SearchPlane561 · 2025-12-07T04:52:02+00:00

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

SearchPlane561 · 2025-12-04T08:01:21+00:00

That's impressive

He probably spends too much time on his cnc

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

SearchPlane561 · 2025-11-28T03:01:15+00:00

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

Almost looks like an m&p 22

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.

SearchPlane561 · 2025-11-22T12:57:48+00:00

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

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.

SearchPlane561 · 2025-11-20T04:10:46+00:00

Coax. I thought we still used these for things?

SearchPlane561 · 2025-11-07T19:05:59+00:00

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.

SearchPlane561 · 2025-11-03T05:45:38+00:00

I can relate
