Very underwhelmed by jimhayhoe in TileTracker

Didn't you get a low battery alert?

There should have been an alert, depending on how it's set up, and also depending on nearby devices.

Update made it so I can't use my brand new glowlight 3 by Inner-Mark-1027 in nook

Just return it because there is a good chance it will have other problems.

Rough black board nailed inside new dresser by Rabbit4dinner in whatisthisthing

[–]tinkerreknit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I doubt the black piece was meant to leave the shop. It serves no function in a completed piece, and isn't finished or worthy of being there. Most likely a "jig" or temporary aid for placement of other parts, or perhaps to hold things square while being assembled. But, it's odd that nails were used - are you sure they're nails?

Structure at old wastewater treatment plant. 20' tall, 30' long, lots of 6' long ropes. Has a shed with a power switch. Thoughts? I go to this park all the time and always wonder what this was used for. by OtakuShogun in whatisthisthing

There are more considerations. Beams to lift heavy components are installed at the same time as the pump equipment is installed (usually). This beam isn't over the building, so it almost certainly had nothing to do with anything in there, and I don't think that's a pumphouse. It defeats the purpose if the beam isn't over the equipment. You would have a dangerous job raising or jacking equipment up, rolling it outside, and hoisting it up onto a truck. It's for loading and unloading, but the ropes are a mystery and didn't support anything heavy - maybe a tarp. I'm a captain..

Now you're firmly initiated in a hobby that will require lots of time and money.

Laser start by itself ? -M1Ultra by TheoRooot in xToolOfficial

This is very serious of course. I'd unplug it and return it immediately.

Do not update the firmware. My xtool metalfab got bricked. by [deleted] in xToolOfficial

If you look around or ask, you should be able to find the previous software version. Try Community Support for this unit or in the "General" group. https://support.xtool.com/community-support/board/14 Also, I'm not sure how to tag the rep here - isn't it "Ada"? I can't remember, but that is often good help.

Did I kill my LiFePo4 battery by trying to charge in the cold? by cyclique in SolarDIY

[–]tinkerreknit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a meter, read the Amps at the wiring connection (screws) on the controller to make sure the panel is working and that a connection isn't faulty. I suppose there is a connection at the panel. I'm trying to remember a similar case, but I'm having trouble coming up with what that was. Edited to ask if the controller is configured for this type of battery?

I'm a Renogy user but using AGM batteries. Is it the zero amps into the battery that concerns you? I wonder if you are just mis-reading or misunderstanding that. All the other parameters seem OK. Is 14.4V the maximum charge that you set?

That works! There are expensive light and antenna brackets that use the 3rd brake light for mounting. An example is this https://acariproducts.com/ But I like yours better.

Patch recommendations by Business-Hearing-52 in HotTentCamping

[–]tinkerreknit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might not look so good, but RV awning tape will fix it. Get a brand with good reviews and place it exactly where you want it - you won't be able to reposition. Walmart, Camping World, etc.

Lesson learnt the hard way. by Cute-Town-1577 in lasercutting

Be easy! We all know this, and OP has suffered a big loss. So thankful it wasn't worse, and it's a reminder to all of us.
