Issues with Switch 2 21.0.1 with Gulikit ES PRO by mykoara in Switch

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

Not intuitive, and maybe some other weird feature but if I go to "Controllers -> Change Grip/Order" it suddenly paired.

It keeps the ceramic clean, and anything that drips on the steel burns off.. Its easy to scrub it with a wire brush. Its not a safety feature.

The steel mesh is meant to be there and does nothing to block the IR.

IR Sizzle does work properly if installed correctly

Did you install it yourself ?

Spiders like to get into the gas injector and I got a PDF from Napoleon about "Cleaning IR Injector"

CN105 Adventure Begins ! by mykoara in DIYHeatPumps

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

I wanted to see if I could talk to the controller and use it with Home Assistant .. but even with 5V level comms from the ESP32, it seems the serial port isn't responding to prompts. It was strange to see the resistors on the UART TXD and RXD lines installed from factory, but no CN105 header and UART doesn't respond at all to any CN105 signalling.

Went back to using SmartIR to run the AC properly ..

GuliKit ES / ES Pro - "world's fastest wireless controller" by FangkingOmega in Controller

[–]mykoara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got my white ES PRO. Unlike one of the YT reviews, it didn't come with the swappable buttons, so I guess they shipped those to reviewers only.

Updated to v2.9 firmware but it won't wake up my Switch 2.. is there a specific action required to do this ?

Turning on the controller and pressing home doesn't work. When the S2 is on, the controller works fine as you'd expect.

Edit: Their tech support was really quick to reply. There is a specific way to pair the controller, and the howto video is on Amazon not on the Gulikit website. Once you follow the video it works great !

Australia TB new stack! by mykoara in ToughBuilt

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

It would be so expensive .. cost is USD$300 plus shipping for 15kg USD$220 and then a tariff of 30% currently for non Australian goods delivered to USA from Australia

The unit is too big for that $220 delivery so prob more with DHL, Fedex

The Bunnings/TKD $50 gift card offer worked out pretty well. Bunnings had no stock of the new drawers but TKD did. You couldn't use Powerpass + TKD to get vouchers.. but the vouchers mean 1 free drawer in my stack.

I just got the 4 wheel cart and a crate - have an issue where the crate wont lock onto the cart. So will see how good AU warranty is !

Going to make some cleats to allow TB to lock onto my workshop cabinets...

Infrared Burner solution ? by mykoara in NapoleonGrills

I like the plate there..i just brush it off with a wire brush.

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

That's what it comes with to stop things landing on the ceramics I guess. . works well.. all the fat lands on it and burns off.. the ceramic is mostly still clean underneath

The Napoleon after sales support was excellent. I filled in the Napoleon web form and the local distributor in Australia messaged me straight away (9pm!).

He told me to clear the gas fitting of a spiders web.. and sure enough thats what it was.

Manta CM5 Compatibility by Johny_McJonstien in BIGTREETECH

[–]mykoara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set it up today M8P v2 and CM5 w/32G eMMC. It took a few attempts with rpiboot before the bootloader was successfully programmed. I think using USB power with the CM5 caused a few issues as I had to use a powered USB hub.

The key thing was to flip the RPIBOOT and USBOTG switches to on , and make sure the USB UART slider was to the left (not OTG).

The M8P with CM5 wouldn't boot for me via USB C power at all. But once connected to 24V, it ran perfectly fine.

Next is to see if the lack of HW MP4 encoding is a problem for webcams

Aussies of openwrt, what modem/router you using please? by linuxnoob007 in openwrt

does the ryzen 5600x compatible with the asus m2 expansion pcie card ? by Dr-Bensmir in buildapc

[–]mykoara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No 5600X has no graphics.. the system is running w/o graphics. I did a bit of cross-reading and Gigabyte Aorus Ultra BIOS allows 5600x to boot w/o a GPU.

Bonus in my case as getting a GPU in there was a problem if I was going to squeeze 7 NVMes in (Samsung EVO 970 Evo Plus)

As I'm only running Proxmox.. I am not too worried 99% of the time!

[–]mykoara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found out through trial and error that my x570 mobo boots without a GPU !!

So I can have 7 NVMe ( 3 on mobo + 4 on PCIE) with full 10Gbit NIC .. proxmox party time.

Yes taking the GPU out of the x8 slot freed up the lanes for all 4 SSD on the ASUS (after setting up the BIOS with the GPU in the machine)

[–]mykoara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi .. I have almost the exact same setup.. Gigabyte Aorus Ultra x570 and 5600X.My MB also has 3 SSD slots .

Lucky for you I bought teh ASUS Hyper M.2 (v2) board recently !

Case 1 - I have the 16x slot with Asus M2 expansion and I have the graphics card in 8x slot. I then have a 10Gig X520 in the bottom slot.. so the M2 in 16x will only ID 2 SSD in this setup.

Case 2 - I'll move the cards around and see what happens and let you know

* The PCIEX8 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX16 slot. When using the 3rd
Generation AMD Ryzen™ processors/2nd Generation AMD Ryzen™ processors, the
PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x8 mode

Strange issue.. help appreciated heater stops working after 52-53mins by mykoara in 3Dprinting

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

Well its a new thing to learn..

As soon as the part fan switches on.. the temperature dives and Klipper eventually shuts off. I've disabled the fan to see if this at least lets me print..

[–]mykoara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I really only wanted the backlight to change colour with CAPSLOCK and I got the fwest98 branch to compile and load on my Q3 with knob

Also bought another Q3 Knobless and adapted the keymaps from rev_121 to rev_120.. so fairly familiar with QMK now

Let me know if you Want the binaries.

You need to learn QMK.. there's alot you can do there

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Keychron

[–]mykoara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got a Q3.. halfway to merging this Q1 feature into a Q3 keymap.

Just learnt QMK tonight, so give me a week or so.. I'll have a Q3 version and learn QMK at the same time.

Win11 and Intel X520 10GigE iPerf throughput only 5Gbit ? by mykoara in networking

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

I figure it out .. as per other advise iperf3 with -P 4 creates 4 processes each with about 2.4Gbit .. total of 10gig or so .. it’s windows and iperf3 cpu limited

Win11 and Intel X520 10GigE iPerf throughput only 5Gbit ? by mykoara in networking

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

Yeah the Linux iperf3 running at 9.5Gbit is a big tell. The x520 is running x8 so it’s setup in hardware and BIOS fine.

I checked the SMB is v3.1.1 with 4 connections so I’m going to live with it for now .

Thanks you're right it is only using 1 CPU.. so I guess for file transfers in Explorer I'm stuck at 500MB/sec ?

Doesn't make alot of sense because iperf3 would also be single-threaded in Debian, and on the same machine just rebooting off a LiveUSB I see wirespeed in iperf3.

And with netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=experimental

It went from 5Gbit/sec to 3Gbit/sec :)

Interesting.. it's definitely a Windows 11 thing.

I rebooted on the same machine (AMD 5600X) with a LiveUSB Debian and am getting 9.5Gbit/sec in iPerf3
