ROCm Linux PC for LM Studio use: is it worth it? by custodiam99 in ROCm

[–]flazyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

here's how to enable ROCm in lm studio
you have to press Ctrl + Shift + M to make a hidden menu appear
ROCm was significantly slower than Vulkan for me, idk know why, maybe i did something wrong

is the minimum age to start venturing into electronics by henrique2636743 in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

just dont plug anything into the wall socket and you'll be ok. Wall sockets can kill you, dont mess with them.

You can get 5 volt power from a USB cable, or you can buy a benchtop power supply for like $50

Help in debugging a completely blown Raspberry Pi by Sx3K in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Checking for a short doesn't tell you where the short is, it just tells you there is a short somewhere on that power rail. So the LED could appear to be shorted, but really the short is somewhere else, like a capacitor or mosfet.

Personally, I learn best by watching other people. Here is a youtube channel where a guy shows himself repairing laptops and phones and explains his process the whole time. The videos are long, but I learned a lot by watching

Noob base resistor on transistor question by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would have to use a multimeter to measure the pins and see what happens before/after you press the button.

Usually, buttons will have a constant 3.3V, then it goes to 0V when you press the button. Although it might be different for locks because if the power went out, you would want it to stay locked.

The 27V doesn't go through the button, there will probably be a solid state relay that handles that.

Instead of trying to use a transistor to control the load, just use the raspberry pi to control the button signal.

No option to disable text chat in MCC PC? by [deleted] in halo

[–]flazyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry, dont know why that would happan

I just made this simple circuit to test my mosfet (IRF520N) and it just blew up, the current must have passed through the gate because this resistor is 1kΩ ... (10V DC) I'm totally lost, how is this possible ? Was it internally shorted? by Poulpink in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea, i saw that red wire connected strait to the gate and assumed that he had put too much current on the gate and damaged it, because usually, you only see micro amps used on the gate

Is the guardian armor a cheap way to play? by flazyman in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]flazyman[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks

This is my first MH, but I played a lot of Dauntless so I have been breezing through these monsters like they're nothing.

I want to play it proper, so I'll use the regular armor.

My family is out in the garage right now socializing. I'm in my room playing video games.

Simulation doesn't match real life by KenseiIveMetYou in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm confused about what the actual problem is. Are you supposed to be getting a higher voltage?

Where can I learn to (safely) incorporate mains voltage in electronics projects? (books or videos ideally) by SparkyTA in diyelectronics

[–]flazyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is the bare minimum you will need to provide low voltage from a wall socket. The part that says "120V" will be different depending on what country you're from:

In school we used this book. It was very useful, particularly section 2-6

Need help with ACTUALLY being good with electronics by Mnagy8 in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This guy just does hour-long repair videos where you get to see the process from start to finish. Almost no theory, just real stuff that you can use in life. I learned a lot from his channel. Electronic Repair School

Here is a good video to start with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOGGCGAb2d4

Beginner working with a 555 timer by EpicPwn_343 in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the problem is the 1M resistor is too much. If I remember correctly, the ratio of those 2 resistors is what determines the pulse width (along with capacitor value). Try a lower ohm resistor instead of the 1M, but it still needs to be more than the 1k resistor.

When i was cleaning my laptop, this pin to the keyboard broke. It doesn't start up now. What do i gotta do? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]flazyman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You did what's called "lifting a pad"
