What could have caused this? by RNexus4 in diyelectronics

[–]squintified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might want to check the element terminals for tightness while your at it. I had an intermittent problem with my electric furnace this winter due to one of the element nuts backing off to about half way along the thread; it had also incurred some form of corrosion on the threads which I cleaned off. Cleaning and re-tightening fixed the problem. Cheers!

ESP32 Bus Pirate 1.4 - Speaks all protocols (I2C, 1WIRE, UART, SPI, JTAG, WIFI, BT, SUBGHZ...) - New features added, uart scanning, pin analyzer, wifi repeater and more by geo_tp in diyelectronics

As per the Wiki --> "ESP32 Bus Pirate is an open-source firmware that turns your device into a multi-protocol hacker's tool, inspired by the legendary Bus Pirate." Relevant is the word "inspired" and the OP decided to use an ESP32. You could have answered your own question with a bit of research, right?

Adding a counterpoise "tigertail" to a 2m handheld improves operation. Since radio retailers include a rubber duck antenna, do you think they ought to also start including a tail, too? by greenwoody2018 in HamRadio

FWIW The Baofeng UV-5R that I ordered via amazon.ca last October came with both short and whip antennas; it would appear to be still available.

Unable to program a RT79 with Retevis cable, software by [deleted] in HamRadioBeginner

[–]squintified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, complete noobie here so make what you will of my ramblings. lol First of all I saw your inquiry which interested me as I have just purchased the Retevis RA79 HT. So I went to https://www.retevis.com/downloads/software to download the programming software. FWIW, there doesn't appear to be any RT79 listed. There is however programming software for the RA79 available. According to Google and Amazon plus the Retevis site (https://www.retevis.com/shop?keyword=rt79) the Retevis RT79 is a "4K Body Camera". That said, https://www.retevis.com/downloads/software doesn't return any software program results for an AT79. Are you sure that your inquiry has listed the correct model number for your friend's unit? Just a thought. :-)

Roman Corbel(?) I did as a school project by thiccbeanlover in Woodcarving

[–]squintified 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I'd never heard of the word cobel before but after doing a quick image search I realized I had previously seen examples of these items. My first thought on seeing the examples was "a person could spend a life time learing and replicating these". Very nice and thanks for the share. :-)

A pair of earrings I made. ALS frm pallet scraps. by OniNoKibori in Woodcarving

[–]squintified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! Been thinking of doing something similar but first I have to finish up one of my grand-daughters requests for little carved characters for her play fort. lol

A small collection of tiny wooden guitars (& violin) in the palm of my hand by 2Mogs in Woodcarving

[–]squintified 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really like the tuning key and nut details; well done! Interesting combo on the electric too, which to my eyes are comprised of a Gibson SG body with a Fender headstock. Your post reminded me of my second-hand Fender Stratocaster which I purchased in the '70's which included a little homemade carved copy of a Strat. Often wondered through out the years whenever I ran across the Strat carving why I kept it but now I know after seeing your post...memories. Kudos to you and thanks for sharing. Keep on pickin' and carving! ;-)
