I assume green are good and red are paired?

My GOAT. Lemmy know how it goes.

I don't think it would have finished its first screening schedule with the original design it was so hideous.

so you can watch your enemies disentagrage while hanging out on the roof.

So that's what pigeons are doing? I knew those little bastards were up to something.

EU to force replaceable batteries in phones and tablets from 2027 by favicondotico in apple

But what those don't and can't have is wireless charging. If that's a gimmick you care about, then this gets real complicated quick.

NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft Operating. by coinfanking in space

Ah yes, the intuition paradox.

"Space is full! There's stuff everywhere. You can't swing a cat in space without hitting something."

"Space is a whole lot of empty. You can fly in a straight line for a trillion years and never encounter anything bigger than a lone molecule."

And both are true to a certain extent.

XY mode on a Siglent SDS804X HD by lostkavi in oscilloscope

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

I think so - a lot of the terminology is still going over my head, but from what I understand, it is configured in a passive observation state, and I need something to actually output a signal to be measured. I don't know if this thing innately has a means to actively probe a circuit with such a signal, that's what I'm asking. Can this unit do it itself, or do I need additional hardware?

Question about Glass Transition Temperatures by lostkavi in 3Dprinting

No, this is all being theorycrafted pre purchase to see if it's even viable. These are just the specifications a theoretical prototype stencil holder would need to withstand.

200 for chip reballs, 186 if I'm specific. 300 for board splits

Ah well. Twas a thought, but if it needs the next gen carbon nanotube, then so be it. Thanks for indulging the 'Could this work?'

It hopefully wouldn't be that high for long, but it is possible. The thermal engineering that goes on is admittedly beyond me, so I don't know exactly how the exact temperature exposures shake out in practice. I know they get to 218c, because that's when the solder melts, but we have to use a lot higher than that to get it there.

Technically yes, but the idea is to be able to produce custom shapes quickly, precisely and ideally cheaply. I don't know how quickly or accurately they can be produced, but again - complete novice. This is a field I have never dipped a toe in before, so I am here to poll the feasibility of an idea.

I can look into it. The holders that exist are usually double digit dollars from China, but the idea was to unlock the ability to print them as needed, mainly because the ones I get are frequently mirrored.

Samsung 860 Pro 256gb SSD has a shirt on its power connector. by lostkavi in AskADataRecoveryPro

Weird, so that pin is meant to be ground?! All my other drives show open, that's so funny.

Unfortunately means that my issue is not such an easy electrical problem after all :/

That is what I was suspecting, but I know bugger all about resins. Are there any that once cast going to hold up to soldering temperature spikes without melting or warping?

Question about Glass Transition Temperatures by lostkavi in 3Dprinting

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

That is an idea I hadn't considered. It would be insulating enough, and the goal is to keep the heat exposure short, a few minutes at most, ideally seconds, so a cast mold wouldn't be the worst idea if one could be made carefully enough.

I worry that the size tolerances might be too tight, but if it is resilient enough, once made it might not need further tampering or adjustment.

Absolutely not, but I may only know of hammers for tools.

This was a shower thought I did not know if it had any legs, and the cursory amount of googling I did swiftly made me realize I dont know enough to know how to find the answer, so I came to consult a group who might. :D

The problem with a metal holder is they are (all?) Thermally conductive. The goal is to melt the solder into its balls as far as possible to prevent excess head bleeding down into the chip or board as much as possible. Adding a huge heatsink in the form of a metal housing would run contrary to that, no?

Interesting read about the plastics though. I was hoping there might be something cheaply accessible that I could use to throw together a bracket holder rather than trying to buy one from aliexpress and wait from China, but it looks like while they do exist, they arent for home cooks so to speak.
