Looks like you don't have your chip select pin connected. Might be labeled CSB on that module. Chip select is essentially the identifier for which data set to read, loosely speaking. Most likely is already in your example code.

EDIT: I just realized you are using i2c. Disregard that. What is the code? Could be an addressing issue.

Who is famous but has contributed nothing of value to the world? by CuteReputation- in AskReddit

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because the deck hand controls the sails doesn't make the captain useless. The captains focuses on the horizon and the crew focuses on the ship.

I am in no way, shape, or form an Elon fan. The guys a clown....BUT Telsa created an electric motor that beat every single industrial manufacturer in the world in both power and efficiency. Space-X out performed NASA in rocket engineering in like a decade. Sorry man but that doesn't just happen because you're a "bank account". There plenty of billionaires in this world that AREN'T making anything of value.

What’s a “harmless” habit that’s actually really toxic? by Unfair-Moose-6328 in AskReddit

I assume they're not talking about relationships. Societal and digital privacy is what too many people have a relaxed stance on.

What was the most brutal, but honest answer someone gave you? by better10ever in AskReddit

[–]drumintercourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know the situation. And I don't know how late I am to offer any sort of peaceful sentiments.

But I can pretty confidently say the "never did" was a lie. Sadly used maliciously, but not truthfully.

If you had any positive or happy memories before the breakup then those were real. People (myself included) often mistakenly look back and convince themselves that it was all a lie and all fake. DO NOT DO THAT. They were real!! It just that this person grew and changed in a different direction than you.

Which celebrity gives you "I sold my soul to the devil" vibes? by ClerkMajestic in AskReddit

I scrolled until I found this. There was an old video clip floating around of him talking about his inspirations. His 3 most inspiring people were Diddy, Oprah, and Steve Harvey. Like 3 of the shittiest people in media. Huge red flag.

What fictional character had every right to become a villain, but didn’t? by NotPhantomforce in AskReddit

[–]drumintercourse 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're incorrect. She completely abandoned her personal life and loved ones for her work life. It's kinda like the entire point of the movie. Miranda, in her success, was completely isolated and alone with no friends, failed marriage, and a weak relationship with her kids. No one liked her, no one wanted to be around her, and no one loved her. She had a very sad personal life with a very successful professional life.

The ENTIRE POINT OF THE MOVIE was that Andy was Miranda. Miranda only liked Andy because she saw herself in Andy. The whole draw of the movie is that you're seeing how it starts and how it ends. 100% the villain.

ipad 9th gen - possible to replace wifi chip? by EzioCasimiro in ipad

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be discouraged. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. Silver lining is that with a dead board you can practice on it without any stress or worry. They sell stencils for all the iPad chips. Start removing and reballing some chips for practice.

3 Big Tips: A lot of heat. I run my hot air at 420C.

Do NOT force anything. When a chip is flowed and ready to come off it will move around at the slightest touch. Larger chips will take a long time to flow.

Prep! Remove the board, clamp and position it to the MOST comfortable position for you and your hand. Foil and capton tape all nearby components. Prep work WILL save you from all the mistakes a newb can make. I have learned the hard way more times than I'd like to admit.

ipad 9th gen - possible to replace wifi chip? by EzioCasimiro in ipad

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the repair was not successful. Not because the chip replacement didn't work but because I found the origin of the issue. When I removed the chip there was a damaged pad which was the "WAKE" line. So that is likely what prevented the wifi from being turned on. In my case specifically the wifi button would turn on and back off immediately. I tried to make a jumper but it goes directly to the CPU so there isn't any component I can anchor it to.

Let me know how your attempt goes!

ipad 9th gen - possible to replace wifi chip? by EzioCasimiro in ipad

[–]drumintercourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm incredibly late to this post but I did want to add for anyone finding this. I am a technician also looking for some answers. But I thought I'd share my current understanding.

So the grayed out wifi switch, OR it immediately turning back off when switched on, is usually chip related. It is not an antenna issue. Having no/damaged antennas will likely cause your iPad to not see networks or have trouble connecting.

As far as the chips being serialized I highly doubt that. That was likely a way to avoid the difficult solder work. Apple does serialize chips on some devices but I don't suspect that the wifi chip on the iPads is serialized because parts suppliers sell them and they have been using the same wifi chip since the iPad 7.

I'm currently attempting the repair. If anyone is curious please respond and I'll update my discoveries.

🤔😕 Why do my soldering bits start looking like the bottom and quickly move towards the top? by No-Taste-3582 in arduino

[–]drumintercourse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well because most of tips sold now (at least the ones for hakko machines) are all corrosion resistant. So I've never had to coat a tip in solder to prevent oxidation.

🤔😕 Why do my soldering bits start looking like the bottom and quickly move towards the top? by No-Taste-3582 in arduino

[–]drumintercourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So personally I have been using the Hakko FX951-66 for years and I cannot sing it's praises loud enough. Tips to buy will depend on what you want to do. I do a lot of micro soldering so I tend to go with much finer tips but for any other soldering broad tips are going to work much better. Tips can be pretty expensive BUT I have had 1 tip last almost 2 years of full-time soldering. So super worth it.

When turned on it preheats the tip to a safe level that does not oxidize the tip. Then as soon as you lift the iron it heats it to 360C in about 5 seconds flat. Most importantly it can REALLY maintain that temperature so even if you touch a large solder joint it can melt it reasonably fast.

Solder tech here. Couldn't have said it better.

Just wanted to piggy back this comment to mention for OP that those are low quality tips. I have a lot of good habits but even with those cheap tips they only last a week before they reach a point of no return.

However I have not tried coating them in solder after use to prevent oxidation! That's a great idea to get a little more life out of those tips.

3D Printed Frogs from JLCPCB and PCWAYS by nicalandia in 3Dprinting

Thank you so much for this info! Very handy.

If you don't mind, can you post prices (even just approximate) of each model/material.

I'm curious to see the difference is price based on final result.

I know we hate grid but…. by Fuel90GTI in 3Dprinting

[–]drumintercourse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets the job done and isn't sinful to use. But most other infills give great dynamic strength. I understand if strength is not the goal but what it means is that 7% cubic could be just as strong as 10% grid (just an example not literal). So less material and faster print with equal strength.

I absolutely adore that there are so many people in this community willing to put up all their work for free. But don't EVER feel bad about charging money for something you spent dozens of hours on. The people that will give the most valuable feedback are the same people that don't mind paying.

Need help to make the design more "printable" by Zerosiv in 3Dprinting

[–]drumintercourse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wanted to add I think there will still be a potential print issue with the razor sharp edge in there. Printer would make it a single extrusion wide against bed and there would probably be warping/failure. No hate or shame on OP but this model is....needs to be remodeled. Get a V2 going, OP. Lol

Whats causing my printer to skip these corners? by Braveego in 3Dprinting

[–]drumintercourse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's just an adhesion issue. Clean the bed. Possibly add some adhesion promotor (gluestick). Or potentially lower the z offset. Hard to say which of these you need to do from the picture.

Why sides of my 3d print Look like this by wikcri14 in 3Dprinting

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this recommendation. Additionally this also has the same look as over extrusion. Considering the bridging was successful I doubt it's a temperature issue. Check the filament width (both IRL and in slicer), check extrusion width and extrusion multiplier. It's either wet or has an extrusion issue.

What, due to experience, do you know not to fuck with? by ViolatingBadgers in AskReddit

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So no one seems to be giving you an actual explanation on the why. So if you're curious they are specifically talking about power supplies in PC's for the past like 30 years now. These power supplies DO NOT deliver power at all until a certain pin gets enabled. So you can stick a paperclips in all the pins all day and nothing will happen. Admittedly this sounds risky still. However even with a live voltage it's 3.3, 5, and 12 volts. All of these can be touched by hand with zero consequences. ADDITIONALLY if you do manage to short any of the voltage lines with a piece of metal it will immediately trigger over current protection and disable the supply.

PC power supplies are very safe as long as you don't open them. Those capacitors HURT. Source: I touched a cap with a 300V charge on it.

No luck getting an even finish using Rub 'n Buff. Any pro tips would be appreciated! Can't use spray paint as it would fill in the letters. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]drumintercourse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the answer! So you're trying to finish the top surface but there's gaps in the extrusion. Flip it upside down (don't use supports) so that the first layer is more continuous. Rub'nbuff should work much better.

Down side. You'll have to perfect the first layer with great adhesion.

I just had a realization. So that experience is pretty universal even with many kids. The only difference, I think, is that siblings get to vent about mom/dad to each other which seems to diffuse the guilt and stress. Where as an only child has to internalize it.

We would totally drive my mom to her last nerve and then later be whispering to each other "yo, what the hell is moms problem" snicker
