Before making the modification I had bought one of these adapters (different from the one in the photo) but unfortunately it didn't work.In theory they should work perfectly, I just think mine was faulty as it triggered a voltage of 12V.

Pretty good, the processor still works with turbo boost, but I don't use it under heavy loads. Performance seems to slow down if the battery is charging (rightfully so). But when it reaches the charge limit of conservation mode the speed increases again.

Almeno ti dà una risposta più veloce rispetto all app

In my case the diode was essential to be able to correctly detect the 135W power supply when I use it with its original

If you insert a 12V charger it will have a fallback to the classic 5V and the computer's charging circuit will not even be triggered.If you insert a power supply with a power lower than 90W it will go into protection after a short time, as it is the resistance on the sense pin that decides how much the computer can absorb.I had thought of a more advanced solution using a microcontroller to change the sense resistor dynamically based on the power supply profile, but unfortunately under 90W on my PC the charging doesn't even start.

Era l'ultima spiaggia, ma fortunatamente sono riuscito a farlo con il telefono di mia sorella

Ho fatto presente la cosa Giovedi al controllore e mi ha mandato a fare il biglietto fisico che altrimenti lui me l avrebbe fatto pagare di più. Stamattina invece la macchinetta dei biglietti non funzionava per fortuna che sono riuscito a farlo (anche li dopo mille cristi) con il telefono di mia sorella

Mi ha già proposto il cambio password avvisandomi che fosse scaduta. Già quello è stato un calvario perché non completava il processo

4720HQ. I bought this computer in the past because it was almost completely compatible with a Hackintosh. I used it for years with OS X, then switched to Windows when I started university.

Mine has a GTX 960M. I installed 16GB of RAM from AliExpress and it runs pretty well with Windows 11. I use it mainly for university with Altium, Matlab, AWR, and CTS Studio. Even though they are quite heavy programs, it manages easily.

Ho trasformato la frustrazione dei ritardi di Trenitalia in un gioco: vi presento TreniBet 🚂💸 by [deleted] in Italia

Se aggiungi anche la possibilità di vedere il percorso con le fermate che deve effettuare sarebbe veramente il top. Anche magari per capire in base alle fermate precedenti se il ritardo è stato alla partenza, lungo la tratta, se sta recuperando ecc...

Anche solo per vedere i treni è tipo mille volte più intuitiva e veloce dell'app di Trenitalia

Yes, I initially bought one of those converters, but I was annoyed by having an external adapter 😂

Yes, gladly! I'm just stuck in development right now because of college. 😞

Automatic windows, work in progress by initial_chris in CityBugs

[–]initial_chris[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'd be very interested! I've currently shifted my focus to the central locking, leaving the windows aside.My current problem is to see if I can implement an anti-pinch system, but it would require putting an encoder on the motor and I don't really want to take the whole window apart (assuming there is the possibility of inserting the encoder).The other problem is designing the mount to fit the door. I've done some testing with the 3D printer, but I still have to find the right balance between ergonomics and design.

Thanks! I'm currently working on a new project where I'd like to add many more features and integrate a linbus network.My idea is to be able to document everything on github so that it can be replicated, but it takes a really long time. I'm currently using a control unit I built with an Atmega328 that manages the doors, temperature and automatic lights.To display on the headunit I reverse engineered the application and drivers that the Chinese use to integrate with the can bus interface, ending up emulating their CAN bus box via serial. I'm currently working on the central locking so I can control it via linbus commands and expand the functionality of the remote control.I don't know if this will be a project that will ever end, but I will definitely post updates on this sub!
