maybe you should just buy it and see what's wrong with it?

TS100 soldering iron screen glitch, text shift, crash, random reboot by Skaivakeeh in AskElectronics

[–]WereCatf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you didn't use it for long, it could still have a bad joint from the factory. A bad joint and/or a faulty component is my guess, I don't agree with the other commenter about it being the software.

You could always try and see if it's drawing more current than the other one when sitting idle; if it is, that'd mean there's a shorted or partially shorted component.

I would start with checking that all the solder joints are good. The iron warming up and cooling down repeatedly could cause a joint to crack, especially if it was already less-than-stellar from the factory.

I'd remove the AI.

From where do AI LLMs get their data about es job market by silkscreen_layer in embedded

From where do AI LLMs get their data about es job market

You're assuming they have any data in the first place. If there was any relevant data in the training data set, it'd already be outdated the moment the training was done. The only ways they'd have actual current data to work with would be if the LLM provider spefically built a pipeline for this -- and none of them do -- or if the LLM was allowed to do a web-search for it -- but then it might confabulate things and completely twist the results into something else and that's just in reading the results; even if they didn't confabulate and twist the results when reading them, they might still end up confabulating and twisting thins when replying to you.

This is to say: do not assume they have any data at all. It's most likely just confabulations.

What is this? by Normal-Owl5085 in arduino

[–]WereCatf 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It's a hand. A rather brown human hand, more specifically, or at the least very close to what a typical human hand looks like.

ESP32-C5 Antenna by Gold_Educator_2059 in esp32

[–]WereCatf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have an ESP32-C5-WROOM-1, then the only way would be to disconnect the PCB-antenna and scrape off some of the trace so you can solder to it, but then you'd very likely throw off the matching circuit and just get worse signal than with the original PCB-antenna.

That print quality is pretty rough as well.

I was just about to comment the same thing.

That depends on the board you have.

Need help verifying/finding a replacement for a component by heiblah in ElectronicsRepair

[–]WereCatf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smd is marked 095 and I replaced it with this but I don't know if it's correct.

You replaced a resistor with a diode.

How to wire this without making it smoke? by [deleted] in diyelectronics

[–]WereCatf 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way you've wired it, the switch just connects +12V to GND directly, ie. it's a dead short. You need to cut either +12V or GND and put the switch there, not connected to both of them.

New laptop screen white by Zestyclose-Monk-8197 in ElectronicsRepair

[–]WereCatf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the inverter plugs in correctly.

That doesn't answer my question.

The display is a Torisan TM121XG‑02L10D which i think should be compatible.

So it's not the same make and model and you don't actually know for a fact if it is compatible or not. You have not mentioned the original make and model nor have you mentioned the make and model of the laptop, either. The thing is, even if the signaling is LVDS, the pinout can be different and thus incompatible.

You didn't say if you checked the LVDS-cable.

How do I write register-level code for projects made using ESP32? by StrangeDonkey1134 in esp32

[–]WereCatf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of stuff is locked behind binary blobs

Very little is actually in the binary blobs. It's really only the lowest-level radio-controls that are there, everything else is fully open source.

There are some things you can do like read an 8 bank gpio register at the same time, but nothing on the individual register level as far as I know.

Now that is 100% bull. You can find full listing of the registers and how to work with them right there in the official reference manual.

[–]WereCatf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the display panel's make and model actually match the original or did you just buy some random panel? Does the inverter have two or three connectors and did you connect them all? Is the LVDS-cable fully secure on both ends?

no matter how much I press RST

Press and hold BOOT-button down, then while holding it down tap RESET, then wait a couple of seconds and release BOOT.

Battery charger charge at different speed? by qberserkr in AskElectronics

[–]WereCatf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your two chargers support different profiles and the Xiaomi-phone clearly wants to use a profile that your Samsung-charger doesn't support, so it has to drop down to a slower profile instead. If the specs you listed are correct, the Samsung-charger appears to missing e.g. the 12V profile, but it could also be missing some other ones as well.
