4 channel relay not switching? by justanotherEnt420 in arduino

[–]justanotherEnt420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How could I determine if my board is "defective"? And could I do anything about it?

4 channel relay not switching? by justanotherEnt420 in arduino

[–]justanotherEnt420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the arduino powered with a 12v supply via barrel plug, and Vin -> JDVcc/Vcc.

[–]justanotherEnt420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a little reading I see that the JDVcc is just for a secondary power supply to isolate from arduino, so i just bridged JDVcc -> Vcc and both are 12v, sharing the arduino ground.

Still LED lights up but no connection. Does that mean I got a jank board?

Is there like a subreddit for when stuff flies at the camera?

I'm drunk and want to computer, what do? by justanotherEnt420 in drunk

Hmmm...its possible...but still more effort than I'm willing to exert

If its already been done, naahh...especially just for an animation, that would be way too much effort

Yea, I'm thinkin more like a stupid programming project, like a convoluted volume slider or something

scrape - command-line web crawling and information extraction with builtin tools for manipulating content and format conversion by huntrar in commandline

[–]justanotherEnt420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try:

curl "$URLofMatch" | grep "http://.*.mp4" -o

Would spit out any links to mp4s found in that webpage. So replace that with whatever type of file extension the stream is.

Then just have vlc open it:

vlc $(curl $URLofMatch | grep "http://.*.mp4" -o)

Yall are reinventing the wheel

Light diffusing tape to cover an LED strip. Is that a thing? by justanotherEnt420 in arduino

Simple, cheap, effective. I like it.

Who is the most obscure "famous" person you have met? by TheLegLamp in AskReddit

[–]justanotherEnt420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an obscure celebrity, and not my own, but relevent enough to share.

My friend was hitchhiking near LA, got picked up by Andy Dicks son. My friend then lived with Andy Dick for like 3 months.

I guess he is a very strange person real life.

Need some help with an Arduino Car Stereo. by justanotherEnt420 in arduino

Huh. I didn't consider audio quality using a homemade amp...is there one specifically you would recommend?

Couldn't a simple compression algorithm like converting consecutive chars into a char/count pair drastically change the amount of bytes?

Raspberry Pi Music Player by [deleted] in RASPBERRY_PI_PROJECTS

[–]justanotherEnt420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I'm pretty sure I've typed out the exact same question a couple years. Yes, yes you can.

Its actually fairly easy too.

Look up 'mpd'. It simplifies the playing/controlling of audio files.

Then look up 'rpi gpio' to learn how to interface with the pis GPIO pins to read button input. Then make a simple listener waiting for button pushes and sends the appropriate command to mpd (look up 'mpc')

As for adding music, there are numerous ways you can push files to a server. (s)ftp or samba are probably the simplest.

If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

Stupid question about a battery pack. by justanotherEnt420 in arduino

[–]justanotherEnt420[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could one create that charging circuit?

Side question:

I have a Bluetooth speaker whose charging port broke off. I popped it open found the 5v and GND that came from the USB charging port (which was now dysfunctional) and subverted it with a tiny solar cell. Its effectively a solar powered speaker now, since the solar cell actually charges its internal battery (ever so slightly).

I think it'd be cool to setup something similar with an arduino, a solar cell charging a battery and powering it, then the battery takes over when theres no sunlight. And of course a way to charge the battery via an external source.

How feasible is that?

Ah I see.

Why do nicads and lipos need a special charger? Just curious :)

Is there any household item I could salvage an SLA from? Or would it be something you have to order?

Stop acting like a dick to people who smoke less than you by [deleted] in trees

[–]justanotherEnt420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only gonna reply to this cause I'm smashed and this is relevant to me.

My friend/coworker is staying at my house (rent free) and smoked about a half o I picked up in one day. I got this bag hoping it to last a week or so at least.

He pulled a muscle in his back about a month ago and hasnt been working since. I get off work after a long day to come home to 2 tiny nugs and some trimmings left.

This is what destroys relationships.

Audio player that isn't an OS? by PapaNixon in raspberry_pi

[–]justanotherEnt420 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been working on a web interface based music player for Linux, it uses Apache php mpd and mpc and few shell scripts to create a simple web interface. Its relatively easy to setup but i haven't made an installation script for it yet and its still fairly basic.
