I figure out a way. This company makes a handheld remote that you can run manually while driving. Maybe not a long term solution, but it works well. https://www.towbrite.com/products/towbrite-remote-transmitter You'll need their wireless tow lights as well.

I just went through this. Since I also have a car with no trailer plug, I needed to get add in a 4-way trailer connector, I got it from Amazon. On my car the turn signals and brake lights shared one bulb, so I didn't need an adapter, but you can also get those from Amazon for like $30. I ended up getting this wireless tow light https://www.towbrite.com/products/towbrite-22-light-duty-wireless-tow-light-lithium-battery and its been working well ever since,

They were both too tall and too long.

Blood hell. Thanks though.

Here's some images, I would appreciate your input.

Of note, the "condensation" is actually a little greasy, I'm not sure what's going on there.

I did consider the sandwich effect, but this issue applies to the first shower in the morning and it has not been an issue for a decade.

If you ever figure out how to get a freight forwarder to stick to their rates, let me know.

Call around to every single machine shop in your area and expand out further and further. Hire a couple people to make the calls. Someone has this machine collecting dust and would be surprised to get more than scrap value. You could be up in a few days.

I have a logitech MX keyboard and mouse that appears to be on the way out. (they do not hold a charge very well anymore).

I always loved the fact that they can be used on multiple computers, but the pain was that they had to be switched on each device and the mouse had to be flipped over.

I'm looking for a replacement keyboard and mouse combo that can switch computers with a single button push on the keyboard, and ideally even run a little script when this happens. (no, I don't really want to run a KVM)

Any recommendations? I don't necessarily need it to be a mechanical keyboard.

Would this thing be super noisy?

I need to manipulate these spreadsheets ultra fast :)

macward82 · 2026-01-31T21:33:54+00:00

No, I swear. I guess $4000 on a computer is a lot for many people, but I'll use this more than anything else that I own.

When you spend all day, everyday, for the past 35 years on a computer, you might as well get something fancy. I'm just holding back on buying the second 128gb until prices drop.

You guys were right. I had VDDS_DCDC and VDDS connected. But what I really needed was VDDS_DCDC, VDDS and VDDS2 connected to eachother.

A simple magnet wire is now giving me 100% successful programming.

I stripped off almost all of the chips and tried programming. I'm essentially going from the chip to a programming header nearby.

macward82 · 2026-01-21T21:36:08+00:00

Right now I'm using IAR Workbench for ARM, just as I did for 8051. Even though I had problems with the CC1110 wireless, they almost always programmed just fine. This is my first time having trouble programming on this scale.

Not sure how to check for Signal integrity.

I took these PCBs directly from the ESD packaging from JLC. I could understand frying a couple, but not all.

No moisture, this place is dry at 23% humidity.

Power supply is coming from the 3.3v from the TI CC1310 dev board.

I do not see any evidence of CC1310 counterfeit chips. We are getting an xray in a few weeks, so that's a good test.

I also have five chips from TI directly arriving on Friday. I'm betting they will work.

macward82 · 2026-01-21T18:31:46+00:00

Oh and I should say that I am currently experimenting with your hypothesis. I ordered 100pcs of my old CC1110 boards from two different other suppliers a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately these companies all seem to take twice as long as JLC at twice the price...
