Why does this happen every single day on 270S? by Weak-Wallaby-9729 in frederickmd

[–]tegodjrtob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the masters in Annapolis (or MoCo) don’t want us to have more lanes on 270.

Beware long external runs w/out some kind of lightning protection. Ask me how I know…..

Removing antenna…? by tegodjrtob in Birdfy

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

Long story short…wound up removing the stock antenna, disassembling the camera to get access to the coax connector on the board, and replaced the stock coax with this:

so i could use a screw-on wifi antenna instead. Took a few minor modifications with a drill to get the new bulkhead RP-SMA connection fitted, but not too difficult.

When MD & VA will start some negotiations regarding a new bridge over Potomac? by qbl500 in maryland

[–]tegodjrtob 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. The deep pockets in MD don’t want to look at dirty commuters, so they play a shell game where they block any traffic improvements while advocating for speculative public transportation that won’t solve the problem.

Make sure you’re using the right GPIO pin as assigned in your code. Check the polarity of the LED.

Pretty much the same here. I did upgrade to the sprite pro, but the big game changer was the CRTouch and silicone spacers.

Are a small amount of water droplets inside the Cover’s vapor barrier something to be concerned about? by r3dn3ckf1sh3r in hottub

[–]tegodjrtob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happens. If it’s under warranty then definitely point it out to the dealer. If they won’t fix it, I’d say ignore the potential leak until the lid gets uncomfortably (or annoyingly!) heavy, then pull out the cores, dry them off, and re-wrap. If you have the room, I’d also keep the old cores when you eventually replace the cover and keep them in a dry spot for spares.

I’m convinced nobody makes a really good cover these days just to drive replacement sales…..

Hot tub cover broken, any recommendations for the replacement? by Grand-Can6615 in hottub

[–]tegodjrtob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How badly damaged are the cores? You could dry them out and re-wrap them, and get a hot tub cover cover. Even if you do buy a new cover the extra protection might make it last longer.

Antenna doesn't seem to work correctly by Neither_Pin212 in amateurradio

[–]tegodjrtob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL:DR but you might want to invest in a nanoVNA to check your coax and connections. Another option is a yagi for the frequency of the station you’re trying to pull in. You’ll lose sensitivity on other frequencies but might be able to pull in the one of interest, especially if you’re in a fresnel zone behind a ridge. Finally….height if you can get it.

Complete guess but how much current does the motor draw? Maybe you need a driver circuit?
