I just want to thank you for this invaluable information - I just purchased the exact same unit and was scratching my head over the almost completely useless instructions (even Ikea instructions seem 100x clearer), very poorly written, or should I say translated... So "thank you"! It all makes sense now after watching you do it. And BTW, I laughed thru this entire video at your creative use of the same made-up names of the major parts of this unit that I used while trying to figure it out ("thingy", "whatcha-ma-call-it", etc.) only I wasn't nearly as calm about it as you were! Much appreciated!

very nice, i am about to build something that also delay's the detection of a usb phone connected to my car. As my head unit boots up it wont detect the phone if phone is connected first. I Have both android and a iphone both do the same. I must unplug the phone and re plug it in. I am an industrial technician so was going to use an industrial timer to time when 12v is detected(ignition) and just switch the usb's 5vdc thru the timer relay. However your video was a very interesting watch. Didi u use a ne555? or did u design a oscillator and count the pulses.

I got these things with no instructions so you saved me a ton of time. Thanks😊

One thing I recall from the PDP-8 programmers reference was they actually recommended self modifying code, which is normally considered a big NO NO! This was to get around the very limited instruction set.

Many years ago, I used to maintain a PDP-8/I. It was used to enter telegrams. There were several terminals where the operators worked. The PDP-8 sent the telegrams to another computer, a Collins 8500, which sent them across the country and around the world.

Thanks for this video. It helped me.

Regarding your comment on the quality of the alligator clip connection. The whole point of the 4-point probe measurement that you are doing is that it is insensitive to the contact resistances. That's because you have constant current through two contacts and then zero current through the voltage measurement contacts. Just don't clip the voltage probes onto the current drive clips, which then would place the contact resistance within the section over which you are measuring the voltage drop!

I don’t think these are more reliable than their aircooler version. They both have the same 5 year/2,000 hour warranty

My awning opens but doesnt retract. Im going to try this method and see if things work again. Thanks for the post!!

thank you...I have to pack a large 6 foot vanity to be returned and will follow your instructions.

Video was helpful. You took the measurement of one wire, and assumed 2 wires would double the resistance. In a perfect world, that would be true, but there could be test equipment effects - resistance relating to how the wire is connected to the test equipment. As a supplement, measure the resistance of an unbroken wire twice as long. That would be the base case compared to the Wago/Wirenut. Cut a wire and splice: How much resistance did the connection add.

magnificent place.

Very nice lab! I especially liked your 3D printing setup. Looks very clean and organized.

To dam long and monotonous voice...I lost interest starting from the bigenning......good luck

Thank you for this video, have been searching for a solution for a year. Finally can stop running out to roll my awning in the last two feet when a big storm is coming!!

Definitely more reliable- how would I know? Live in southern Louisiana, out of power 12 days due to Ida. Only residence in my development who had liquid cooled genny. Neighbors had to change oil every 48 hours, entire region out of 10w30 by four days, and I didn’t have to change till 480 hours. Day they installed my Cummins, replaced neighbors 7 y/o air cooler generac due to breakdown … with another air cooler genny. Regular maintenance that you can do yourself and expect 30,000 hours from a quality liquid cooler generator

Thank you, i love the commentary.

they work great, i like the new style probes even more. they are designed to be set up at 45deg from tip to the base, but they will hold just about anywhere. ive actually had 20 of these set up on one dut, 3 ,4 channel sopes and 4 channel logic. theyre awesome.

It'd be a bit of a project but I think the back of the storage should be just one big LED matrix 😃

Thank you!

This is the exact I was exactly looking for. Thank you for making it!!

Thank you so much.

cool setup

Great tutorial.....I wasn't able to drag and drop the Graphic style default (13:14) in your video as shown...Do you know how to update that for 2024? When I opened my Glowforge template it doesnt show the fill blank and the stroke blank...It's not a big deal but it would be a great option to already have it in place....Thanks again....Easy to follow along with...

When I update the YAML file wirelessly after updating the tft upload it just keeps repeating Nextion is not connected and won't finish the update. Any tips?

How much did that guy charge you?

What op amp did you use

I just bought one and mine came without any Instructions 😮

I was waiting for the MFL. 15-Plug Audio Cable Tester Line Finder Black 15-in-1 Cables Checker 10-Way Switch Wire Tracker with LED Indicators No feeler gauges? No bore gauges? No radius gauges? No duromter / shore gauge? No lux / illumi meter? No torque wrenches? No thread pitch gauges? No load cells? No pressure gauges? No PH/PPM pens? Lol just kidding that’s a crazy dope collection. I’m sure you’ve got stuff you didn’t display too. Thanks for sharing.

I just bought one of these things and the instructions ARE AWFUL!!!! Just like you said and the commenters on Amazon stated. Rather then fight this things, I looked on KZfaq and your video was great! Thank you!

It is pronounced Paykel 'Piekel'. Not pay kel

I just used this method today and the instructions were excellent. If I would have had to rely on the instructions that came with the kit I would have dug a hole to China and tossed the whole thing in it. Funny guy too. Thanks

Using this as a project to try and learn esphome, as a bit of a HA noob. 🤞

I just replaced my Sunsetter awning fabric and need to adjust the open and close positions for the first time. My motor is on the right side as I face the awning. I cannot adjust the settings because I believe the cover and switches are at the top and they are covered by the gutter! I see yours are at the side. Might mine be on the side as well? I see you removed the white bracket to get to it?

Is there any practical use for today you could apply it to?

Hi Chris, I was just perusing some videos and happened across yours. Im impressed with your quick learning after just two tries... Congratulations! It took me longer than that when first starting out, LOL. I've been a warehouseman for longer than I care to admit, but after tens of thousands of pallets that I have inspected in my career, I think I can impart a little professional advice here. Please allow me 2 points for you and your future viewers. 1) The little metal cramps are normally called "clips", "seals", "Clamps" or even "sealer clips" by most general warehouse workers. and 2) the funky configuration of these clips is designed more for vertical orientation use rather than horizontally. (For those who've never seen one, look at the "L" in the Staples store signs logo where the top leg of the "staple" is folded over a bit) once the bands are tightened to desired tension, the person responsible for crimping would then hang the clip over both bands, using that bent over side positioned on the top like a hook, preventing it from falling off. Then they use the crimping or clamping tool sealer to secure it in place. I hope this helps a little. Thanks again for sharing your experience with us.

Hahaja

I"ve been making these "tortizzas" as I call them for at least 10 years now. You can't beat them for a quick meal. I use the identical method of a hot cast iron pan and about 2 minutes under the broiler. Paper thin onion slivers work really well too.

Clip

Thank you!

15:49 I've been unable to measure continuity between two pins pushed deep into the holes on my smaller version NSPanel so I doubt that "metal" is conductive. It's perhaps a metal plastic RF shield that has the plastic side facing the board?

Great video! could I use the interface to create a puzzle for a door lock keypad as part of an escape room?

Nice!

hah! I am the .001% of the people out there who needed this instruction video. Very helpful step by step. Thank you.

I have a one. Is it not possible to TURN OFF the screen?

Nice. I’d cook in reverse order. Oven first, then the stovetop. Works great.

Thank you for the time and patience to simplify this for me. God bless you!!

Thanks for a nice demo! Its was very helpfull.

I get annoyed having to clean the corrosion out of the battery compartment. You've got a task there...
