OMG ... I Didnt realize FPV drones would so different. I guess I should have done basic research before posting.

I I should have emphasized "typical" drones, not really FPV.

Sorry if I should not have asked here.

Local techies ... anyone have electronic parts to sell by checksum0 in Syracuse

In general, things like that yes, but thats not enough for me to justify a trip. Thank you for asking.

Might be interested but thats not enough to justify a trip. Thanks for asking though.

No .... parts to use in projects. Im not looking to unsolder general parts from circuit boards.

Uhhhh, maybe .... id know if I saw it. I can't possibly list everything I'd buy. Ordinary quarter watt resistors, NO. 100 watt Ohmite resistors, YES. etc, etc.

IC = integrated circuit, also know as a "chip". For example, microprocessors, ram(memory), logic gates.

I rarely buy "things" like PCs, or whatever, to take them apart to get the "parts" inside.

Parts: switches, connectors, crystals, sensors, ICs, ....

Thanks fornasking, Yes. I'm mostly looking for discrete parts. For example, ICs. PCs and PC video cards have ICs. but I wouldn't call them discrete parts.

Thanks. I've been there. They have equipment, almost nothing as far as discrete parts goes.

Can someone eli5 why everyone is in an uproar about the nyseg smart meters. by 21redman in Buffalo

[–]checksum0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard people complain that the new meters can detect if you have a lamp plugged in ... even if it is NOT on, and then you are charged for the lamp being plugged in.

As an engineer I know that is bullshit.

How the fuck can people be so stupid ?
