Let's Control It

M*I*B

Little Update... Yesterday I received an almost identical message from the alleged "Jenny", which only differs in the last part. Then she tells me that, contrary to her initial announcement, she doesn't want to send an ESP32 and doesn't want to send a return label, but will refund the amou...

M*I*B

... nope ... Was a plain mechanical problem ... For reasons of space (collision Z at the top right), I replaced the pressure spring with a short screw and Viton O-ring as a spring. For whatever reason, the screw tightened on its own and pushed the filament square. This in turn led to a “tooth failur...

Thank you for the hints. If it says so, and since I now know how to read it with your help, it will be easy. As soon as the parts arrive here, I will upload a picture immediately. They will probably arrive later than the ESPs from AliExpress that I ordered yesterday... We'll see. At least I have now...

M*I*B

Thank you for the hints. The dealer wants to send me what I ordered again along with a return label for the scrap. When the ordered goods arrive here, I would like to determine visually whether it is an ESP32 with 16M or not. It's now very difficult for me to even roughly distinguish between all the...

The report to eBay about a fraudulent offer and the negative rating seem to be having an effect. Because after that the seller moved and wrote (translated) the following: Message from seller Hello, we deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused by the incorrect delivery. After carefully reviewing ...

M*I*B

Ty for the hint... I have try that. Only can order one but for a welcome price of 1,97€ and no shipping fee... I will see if that arrives here due the Asian have absolute no idea how addresses are build in different country's... EDIT: Have placed a 2nd order of three for 5,77€ each... I will report ...

M*I*B

... jepp, that's for sure ...
This dealer is obviously a grievor at its best.

M*I*B

... jupp ... I will search a little more. Shipping from NL isn't cheap ...

The fraud item comes from eBay. I have checked it many times. So here you can see that the dealer offers an ESP WROOM-32 with 16M Flash. Picture show it and also the item description...

M*I*B

The image you show is an ESP8266, so that's not going to accept any ESP32 build... Ok, then my bad gut feeling didn't let me down. I wasn't 100% sure whether the ESP32 might be called something else. But when you say they screwed me over, that match with my gut feeling. So at the moment no need for...

M*I*B

Ok... today the ESP was in the post box. They look different then what I have ordered. May you like to take a look? I have a bad feeling about it... Ordered this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/314302581059?var=612943993669 Got 5 piece of the one attached... IMG_0103.jpg Some other... Is meanwhile only the...

... don't worry: I already understood you. Maybe I did not express myself correctly.
That wasn't an accusation or anything like that. FreeCAD users are just rarer than expected, at least those who have such tricks in their pocket...

M*I*B

... I didn't expect that everyone here would work with FreeCAD. Maybe someone else will turn up who has this on their radar. It's at least worth a try... I had also tried other CAD programs before. But in the end I stuck with FreeCAD, even though the level of frustration at the beginning is very hig...

In the meantime I have already finished the housing for the GPS. The bottom part and antenna holder are currently being printed...

M*I*B

That was my first thought too. But the second idea was to use a second change in the GPS as a tick: no second change = no tick = shit :D I think I have to wait for the arrival of the ESP's. Then it's better to try (& error) all the way... BTW: This will do very well for a soft Heartbeat. The len...

... grrr ... :evil: Momentary switches with DUO or RGB - LED are exorbitant expensive... :cry: On... Plan B... I will use a momentary with a white or blue LED. The LED are ever on but with very low intensity. I think it's a good idea, if I let the LED show a heartbeat every second. I can switch a pa...

M*I*B

PERFECT!

Hi there... today the displays are arrived here. I'll probably take the 1.3" OLED. That fits best into a 50mm front panel. In the CAD I still have to insert a button for the time-controlled switching on of the display and perhaps an LED that flashes every second (or something similar). The GPS ...

... I print it with PETG. And also the shingles are more for look and feel then for preventing water. There is another layer of truck tarpaulin under the crossbars to protect against moisture. So even if water passes by or comes through cracks that have formed, it doesn't actually matter. It's at le...

... this https://www.prusa3d.com/en/product/prusament-rpla-wine-pigment-1kg/ is not so far away. But I think that PLA is not a good choice for a engineering part in a warm and oil-dust area... And painting is an option... but I'm lazy.. you know? 8-) I will look around the next days here and there.....

... for sure... But this dark brown seems to be unavailable at all known filament dealer... Looks like this dark brown is not available from anyone, whether prusa, sunlu, geeetech, jayo, crealty, overture, esun or whatever. It is probably not in demand across the market and therefore not offered... ...

M*I*B

That display is one of the types that's supported by P116, so that should work just fine. Perfect! Then I will order it soon... Can't see the exact dimensions, but it should fit within the 50mm space available when mounted in landscape mode. Maybe more important is the depth behind the front, will ...

M*I*B

As said, that TTGO module with 16 MB flash doesn't allow the display to be removed without breaking it. And a separate OLED display often comes with a connector mounted at 90 degrees, making it at least 2 cm thick in total, without cutting off or de-soldering the connector pins. Ok, so I don't try ...

M*I*B

... hmmm ok ... If the displays are glued that's not so nice... I just need the display swap 90° so that the board stay upward behind. Maybe this combination is available separate with a longer cable... I have find a UBLOX GPS that offers serial data instead of I²C. So if I can use that the long wir...

Ohhh japp... GPS are also a way... Haven't thought about it. Many Thanks for all the hints and remarks... That's very helpful! I could put a GPS on the roof of the property or on the roof of the shed in front of the property. In both cases I can get there with less than 10m of cable; would that stil...

Hello community... ... I'm back... Unfortunately, health and other concerns prevented me from doing so... But now things are back to almost the same as before...

Hello there again, As you may know, I have a number of converted S20s in use. A few days ago I had a technical problem with my power supply and as a result two S20 and a Shelly plug didn't want to use wifi anymore... The problem is solved, but I noticed that an S20 always runs at 99% load. As soon a...

I am happy that you can still tell us about it ;) Shure and thx; I'm too :D But now I'm convinced that I'm much more immune to it than the "normal person". 230V doesn't bother me anymore and if I don't have a phase tester at hand, I sometimes use my finger. But when I was younger I had so...

M*I*B

... yes, that's true, but for PWM you don't need ZeroCrossingDetection. You split an full wave in i.e. 1000 pieces so anyone hit near the Zero.

M*I*B

At the moment I don't know how dimmable LEDs react when they get an AC voltage PWM instead of a phase section. But since the dimmable LEDs, at least the ones I have here, also work with DC voltage and regulate their LED current based on the applied voltage, it should actually work with PWM as well. ...

M*I*B

Hello hobbyists, In addition to another project, I'm currently thinking about how to best dim 230V with an ESP (dimmable LED lamps). Of course, there is the usual option of trailing edge control. But what if, for example, you use PWM to dim an IGBT on a bridge rectifier that is connected in series w...

I will report soon...

Nope, that don't help. Have try it right now in different combinations... Here is a record of the output if that problem occure... and that's it. They don't get the ass up again...

Good morning all, in the meantime everything is going as expected. Only the 4CHPROr3 still causes problems with the WLAN. If the WLAN or the AP is gone for a short time (power failure, reset FritzBox, ...) he can't find the AP again. Unfortunately, this is 100% reproducible. I'll open it again and u...
