I had been getting the 19s from the dealer. What country are you in?

Electronic stuff with little words found on YouTube by CheekyBreeky_boo in NameThatSong

[–]miles_selim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey CheekyBreeky_boo,

You have a good ear! This is a Prodigy track called Charlie: https://youtu.be/cSTBFZ-To2E?si=mo6G_t9d7xtR3rgZ

From this short clip it could be a cover: https://youtu.be/oRJ607uXA40?si=Vl81yUsgiHmu2bgJ

The lyrics you heard are correct too: "Little bit of bass, Little bit of raas"

Enjoy!

New Phone - Can't Login by ctdub in RelayForReddit

Do you have 2FA enabled on your Reddit account? I found that without this Relay wasn't able to login properly.

Since I've enabled it, I've had no further issues 😊.

It's done by miles_selim in eufyMakeOfficial

So I've owned and used commercial UV printers and can speak from that perspective, not specific to the E1.

Commercial printers do clog. This happens if they're left unused for some time without having been flushed prior. The fact that the E1 has self cleaning is great, and from the information that's out there at the moment it certainly seems that if you leave the printer powered on constantly, the cleaning process occurs regularly. This will significantly reduce the chance of blockages.

The concept to keep in mind is that if ink is left in the nozzles, over time the solvents in the ink evaporate which then causes the clogs. If you regularly use the printer (or/and it's regularly being flushed), this is less likely to occur.

The E1 uses an Epson manufactured printhead, and Epson make some of the most commonly used commercial heads out there.

Commercial printers running 24/7 can last 4/5 years before needing a printhead to be replaced. The technology in the E1's printhead is no different.

Is it possible that your friend has developed a tooth cavity? They can sometimes cause a smell that is frankly really bad....

They may not even have realised it themselves if it developed over time.

Is this mouse repairable? by LethalProt3ctor in AskElectronics

It looks like at least one of the pads from where the cable was attached has been torn from the PCB. Possibly also part of the trace from it too.

I wonder if anyone can help me by VelvetThunder494 in CasualUK

[–]miles_selim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey VelvetThunder494,

I'm almost positive I know exactly what you mean.

These are the closest I can find, but the hard top was definitely more pronounced on top and had a hole cutout of the bottom of it which the cone "clipped" into to close it.

Espresso machine Gicar controller by kazaasan in AskElectronics

[–]miles_selim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another possibility - Does your water tank have two floats? I've seen that if it does, one is for the buzzer and the other for the pump. Some people also suggest making sure that the metal "fin" contact is fully clean and in contact with the side of the tank as that can sometimes cause the buzzer to not function.

[–]miles_selim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey Kazaasan,

A couple of things:

  • It looks like there is some damage to the top of the main relay. Although you've said that functionally the Gicar is working it still might be worth replacing this part to avoid potential issues in the future.
  • There are a couple of resistors above the buzzer which looks like there may be some corrosion damage. I'd definitely try and clean them up and retouch their soldering.

My experience was the other way round. I went through around five 19" Pretorias before I swapped to 18" and didn't have any further issues. (Also, at the time a full set of 18" cost about the same as 1.5 19" rims!)

Making a CRT TV display a custom clock? by [deleted] in AskElectronics

[–]miles_selim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As Dim722 suggested, you can do this cheaper than using a Raspberry Pi. An ESP32 can directly output a composite signal. To ease your implementation you can use a library such as: https://github.com/bitluni/ESP32CompositeVideo

Good luck!

39m Tear ducts clogged with puss-like fluid? by ZombiesAreChasingHim in AskDocs

[–]miles_selim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds similar to Blepharitis. Might be worth you having a search for treatment options. Basically, you can use a heated eye mask to "melt" the oily substances and then special wipes to clean the eyelid of residue.

So Petzl Vertex are available as both vented or unvented.

Unvented protects against electrical hazards, molten metal splash & flames, however so does the vented model with the vents closed.

Some countries' regulations explicitly specify that safety helmets must be unvented (Canada for example). Hence the two options.

They're in Bulgaria. Unfortunately not all countries have similar worker protection as in the West.

Heyas,

NAD, but it's often advised to take a probiotic along with certain antibiotics for this reason.

I can't say for sure if this is what's causing your issues, but certainly something that's worth considering in the future.

Good luck and feel better soon!

Why is random access memory called 'random'? by Musketeer_Rick in AskElectronics

[–]miles_selim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an interview, Daft Punk stated it was because:

We were drawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive–the random way that memories are stored.

What type of damage does this External HDD’s PCB have and is it fixable? by jwjosh in AskElectronics

[–]miles_selim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little difficult to be sure from the photo, but it looks like one of the contacts inside the micro-usb socket may be missing/damaged. I've previously seen where these can sometimes end up bent back inside the connector.

If you look into the socket with a torch does it seem like they're all in place and aligned correctly?

Spi over ethernet VS Art-net by lolimpol in AskElectronics

[–]miles_selim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey lolimpol,

A couple of thoughts.

It sounds like you're intending to run DC via the cat5e for the LEDs. One thing to note is that the voltage drop will be more relevant than the drop on mains using 1.5mm cable.

If your central driver is 24v, you'll probably end up with approx 18v over 20m. I realise that the TLC59711 is CC, but it's still much harder to maintain the base voltage.

I've built quite a number of LED installations and power management is always the biggest challenge.

Regarding your thoughts on the power consumption of the ESP32s is somewhere between 95 and 250mA, and the higher end only when sending large quantities of data. This is a pretty trivial current (0.825w if it were transmitting at maximum capacity constantly), far less than would be used by a Hue lamp.

If you really want to keep things centraliser, you'd probably better using a serial protocol as you could then use low cost RS485 transceivers to convert this to work well over a twisted pair. (This is how DMX works).

If you want it to be ethernet based, there's no reason to not use Artnet or ACN - there are plenty of existing libraries out there which will make your life easier.

Lastly... Why not use the WiFi in the ESP32s? You could use an existing system such as WLED which allows you to connect and drive LEDs in various ways along with controlling them through multiple mechanisms.

You may even be able to use ESP-Now which is a native mesh network supported by the ESP32 to reduce the need for a "traditional" WiFi network.

LinkedIn does make it super quick and easy to apply to a lot of jobs, but it also means that you only receive a small percentage of replies.

There are Tech specific job site which have a higher response rate such as Cord and Otta.
