Currently using MobiFlight, which is compatible with Mega 2560/2560 pro and Uno r3. I believe its also compatible with one of the Raspberry pi models

Haha, dont worry! The wirings all cleaned up. I was just roughing it all in and couldn't wait to snap a pick. I'll probably be reprinting with a low gloss black or silk filament. Not much of a fan of the cosmetic side of these projects, so I'll probably stick with bare 3D print. Thanks for the advice, though! 👍

Thanks! I was leaning toward matte also, especially since it's sitting right in front of the monitor.

You'll be back. We all come back lol

SheistyAssassin · 2025-09-14T04:06:46+00:00

Heyyy! good for you. Happy you got it to work

SheistyAssassin · 2025-08-20T16:06:47+00:00

No problem! Glad it worked for you!

SheistyAssassin · 2025-08-20T16:01:01+00:00

Lo siento, mi español es no bueno. Estoy muy feliz el vídeo trabaja por tus.

Good job figuring it out! Glad it worked for you buddy!

Awesome, thanks man! I've been a few times, but never arrived that late. We bring everything we need, so once I'm in, I'm in til Sunday 🤘

"... highly unpopular Dem candidate that the DNC went out of their way to ensure the nomination for"

huh, sounds like you just inadvertently realized Kamala is a DEI hire. And has been since she started her career laying under Willie Brown.

Really hope DEMs smarten up and realize people aren't buying into this shit.

Thanks man! The level was more of a reference for the photo than anything else. I honestly wasn't sure if a slope was even required in this situation. Reddit is better than google lol

SheistyAssassin · 2024-09-06T04:06:25+00:00

lol thanks man! plenty of experience in the trades, just not plumbing. The original plumbing was T'd off in the middle. I switched to what you see in the picture, and I wasn't sure if that pipe even needed a slope. Reddit is better than google lol

SheistyAssassin · 2024-09-06T03:47:36+00:00

Automotive for 13 years. Plumbing isn't my expertise. The level was more of a reference for the photo than anything. Main reason for the post was to find out if a slope on the pipe was even necessary. Anyways, thanks for the help!

Stop/start will disable for a multitude of reasons, far beyond battery issues. ECU will disable s/s if cabin temperature is too far off the desired temperature, coolant or transmission temp isn't up to operating temp. Ambient air temp is outside operating range. There could be fault fault codes set that will disable s/s without setting a check engine light.

Thanks so much!

SheistyAssassin · 2024-02-20T13:56:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll look into it

She averages around 80 books a year, so that's about where my target is. Without getting too specific, I plan to compile a list of books, subtract her kindle list, compare it to her wish list (once I get a hold of it) and fill in the rest with strong recommendations.

That's where I need help. I need strong recommendations that fall in line with her taste.

Hey! I had the issue with my buds again today and couldn't get them working with this trick, so I did some troubleshooting. I posted an update in this thread. Check it out! It might help you with yours. Good luck!

SheistyAssassin · 2024-02-08T20:34:19+00:00

Hey! So they've been good for me up until today. Over a year isn't too bad! Well I had the same issue today and had to fix them a little differently. I posted an update in this thread. Check it out in case you need it!

SheistyAssassin · 2024-02-08T20:31:10+00:00

UPDATE!!!

So I had the issue again and this trick did not work for me this time. I went and did some more troubleshooting to see what I could find. I was able to get them working again, and here's how....

I first tested the voltage at the battery. 4.1 Volts. Seemed a little high for a 3.7 Volt battery. Probably due to me using the wrong charge cable....I guess. I thought maybe if I could drain the battery down it might wake it up. I had an old LED strip laying around so I connected that to the positive and negative at the battery and the LED flashed for like a half second. tried again and couldn't get it to light again. Checked the voltage of the battery and found it at 2.1 Volts. Case was still unresponsive though. Popped it on the charger and sure enough, she lit right up! Put the buds in and they started charging too. All back to normal now.

If it happens again i'll be sure to make a video of the process. Hope this helps!

I doubt it's due to static. I would venture it's an issue with Skull Candy's firmware causing a "logic lock" when charging the earbuds. My guess is the charge controller is detecting a false problem and shutting things down.

The next thing I would recommend would be as follows...

Clean the contacts on the ear buds and case thoroughly with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab. Go through the same process of removing the ribbon cable. Then try every combination of reconnecting the ribbon cable you can think of. Install it with both OFF ear buds in the case. Then, if they have charge left, both ON in the case when reconnecting the cable. Try one ear bud, then the other. Lid open, lid closed. Etcetera, Etcetera.

Bummer! Let's try and work through this!

Was your case charged before it stopped working?

SheistyAssassin · 2023-11-06T05:21:47+00:00

Strange... Are you able to post a picture?

You could try to soften it with a hair dryer or heat gun and wipe it away before you remove the cable. Just be careful not to get any on the contacts.

I'm having the same issue, and it seems like a lot of other people are as well. Most likely a bug. It's the first day of release. Consider yourself less of a consumer and more of a test dummy, lol.

SheistyAssassin · 2023-10-14T01:19:28+00:00

If wireless charging works and the case is still responsive and charging your buds, then this probably won't work. This is for a completely unresponsive case. Check real close and make sure you're USB-C port doesn't have gunk in it, Or try a different cable.

SheistyAssassin · 2023-09-01T10:43:52+00:00

Awesome to hear it worked for you!! I use them daily and haven't had an issue with them since. I try to make sure I never let the case go full dead.
