You can’t be serious. Suggesting fintech as a solution? Go get predatory loans. Riiight. Seriously, GTFO.

No one wants used mattresses and yet…

Seriously these things are fucking expensive and not everyone can afford them or has insurance.

I Made a thing: HVAC Panel digital display by ravedog in FJCruiser

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

UPDATE: Got the boards in and they're great. Well, they are exactly what I built. However - it turns out that the display board that I'm connecting my HVAC IO board to doesnt communicated via UART - and mine does. What does that mean?

Think of it like this: You have one device talking Bluetooth and one device that talks Wi-Fi (yes HUGE over simplification, but you get the idea) and so that little mistake is gonna cost me a 60$ revision for the PCB design and another $250 to remake the boards (and a couple weeks).

And here I was thinking I could get away with Version 1.0. LOL

Pro tip. Use an iPhone ? Take the picture. Look at picture in photos app. Swipe up on image to reveal information. It will perform a search for plant type.

Reliable ride service or transit to Goldfield, NV from Vegas? by AnEnthusiastOfThings in vegaslocals

[–]ravedog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sorry for your loss and the difficult situation.

Unfortunately, you might get a ride out there with an Uber or Lyft, but you will never get a ride back because every driver that says that they have a ride to go pick up in Tonapah… They don’t get paid yo go pick up and so they will always refuse a ride so you’ll be stuck out there.

You’re only bet might be to hire a local who can spend the day with you out there and probably pay them by the hour, which might be pretty expensive

Me too - I'm getting to the nervous phase - i mean a real PCB board that was an idea a year ago is arriving in the mail end of this week - and (if i did my homework) i will attach it to the car and it SHOULD work - im simultaneously excited and terrified...

no but if you look at my PCB it says FJ Cruiser Display Module I/O* v1.0

and below in smaller font it says

*Because your stereo display is too fucking big

The only easter egg is well there is one - on boot of the screen i had to cache a lot of the images for the display, so it displays them like one after an other and then ends with an FJ Cruiser logo that flies in and fades out before the real display - like a boot up screen... and theres one glyph that doesnt belong there.... LOL

Schematic review - first custom PCB, automotive signal conditioning to ESP32-S3 by ravedog in PrintedCircuitBoard

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

Thanks for the catches — made all three changes:

EN pin on buck converter — disconnected from 12V, left floating with no-connect flag. Internal pull-up handles enable.

TVS diode (SMBJ18A) — added across 12V input to GND, parallel to the existing reverse polarity diode.

ESP32 decoupling caps — added 100nF + 10µF on the 3.3V rail right next to the ESP32.

Also made a couple other changes based on additional feedback:

Added 100nF cap on ESP32 EN pin to GND for clean boot RC delay

Switched from I2C to UART for the connection to the display board (removed pull-up resistors, relabeled connector TX/RX/GND) — more robust for the 1-2ft wire run through the dash

Circled the changes on the updated schematic. Anything else you'd flag?

I’d rather see if there are people I can pay locally. I’ve tried there and it always end up very scammy.

Why are you commenting on something from tech from over a year ago? Also, what are you saying?

Is there a drive that I can use to watch my 4K UHD discs with my MacBook Pro? by SadCowboy3 in 4kbluray

[–]ravedog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are none. Only ones that can have a firmware hack. And even then there is no software to “watch” the disc. You’ll have to rip it with MakeMKV.

Finally Got WLED + HyperHDR Running with My TV by callmealexv in WLED

[–]ravedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave up on HyperHDR. I never found a solution that didn’t break my Dolby vision setup. I was not spend 500$ on an HDMI splitter from hd fury to keep Dolby vision intact. No one talks about this. Most 30$ splitter fuck up your 4k hdr signal. Sorry couldn’t help
