    be aware that SIP resistors come in A and B types. A type have all resistors in the pack with one leg commoned where the B type all resistors are individual

    "Thank You", thank you very much 😎

    nice channel thums up

    looks like theres possibly a new version of the Qidian 184 power bank, same case but the listing claims it does QC2.0/3.0 stuff and charges from 12V? I had my eyes open for one for ages but when the new 185-TY came out I bought that instead, it has the variable voltages and doesnt howl like the old 185-SX of yours did. anyway the new 184 I saw is .com item 162479805220 if you want a look

    Everyone loves postbag

    I wouldn't use two sets of resistor networks on the DIP switches. Instead, I'd just connect all the pins on the pull-down side to ground.

    I like the box of SIL resistor arrays. I think I bought a similarly packaged box of LED's from IC.Touch – very handy!

    Good old alice110983, you've bought alot of things from her

    Hmm, resistor networks. Oh a whim i tried to see if you could get 0 ohm resistor networks in a sip package (ie: not SMD), to use as common Power & GND rails for driving a whole lot of servos. It seems they exist but are very rare, only found a single ebay seller in USA, no-one in China tho (not even on aliexpress).

    I guess everyone just makes their own by shorting together a whole row of male headers. :T

    You could print a piece of paper with 0 – 7 and tape it over the old numbers.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Murray says:

    The numbers on the dip switches can either be rubbed off, or painted over.  Then they make sheets of rub on numbers or letters.  You just set the #'s where you want them, and use a pencil to rub them on.  If all looks good, you just take some clear finger nail paint, and very carefully paint the numbers so they will not rub off.  If you rub too hard, or use too much, the paint is so strong, it kind of melts the plastic type numbers, and it runs.
    I've done this myself, and it works quite well.

    Have fun !!!!

    need to buy some of these!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PirateKitty says:

    Why are you wasting patron's money on these 80's junk? Then again, if they are stupid enough to pay some dude that has very limited knowledge of electronics, why not?!
    My God… Its true what they say; "Give a stupid an English accent, and they'll instantly sound smart".

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars superdau says:

    Just write "8 minus" on the dip switches. The results are 7 to 0 from left to right 😉 .
    Be careful with pins as wide as on the (dip) switches. Depending on combination of switches and bread board they will almost destroy the spring contacts in the board because they spread the contacts against the inside of the boards that they bend the funneling flat.

    you are going to need lots of debounce for those switches 😁

    good idea having vanity flashlight to prevent content thievery.

    hey, is the arduino guide still coming ? I would love to get some structure in the mqtt spaghetti
