I'm interested to hear why you are doing this.

Why? Do you still want them to be usable?

The camera itself has 3 wires, red and black which I assume are for VCC and ground, and a yellow wire. How is a video signal sent over 1 wire? What kind of encoding does it use? (or am I entirely wrong and basing it on the fact I've seen other CCD cams with the same wiring setup, but without the SD card port the one on this has).

I'll post the rest tomorrow, I'm too drunk and tired for the rest of this shit.

I've always wanted to hook up a quadcopter to a roomba to let it soar majestically at a set altitude, avoid birds and trees on its own, and then return to its little charging nest. This would be a great pet.

Monitoring thread for undoubtedly relevant tips.

>>1180510
just body ground it

>>1180511
Care to elaborate? I'm full retard when it comes to this shit.

You bolt the negative to the chassis of the car. Moat of the cars electricity flows through the chassis. Look at the existing battery's negative terminal. It is bolted to the chassis.

Devil's in the details. Assuming they want electricity/plumbing/modern conveniences/etc, they'll probably have to get that professionally done. Expensive, especially if miles from civilization. Not an engineer that deals with construction, but imagine you'll want a foundation of some sort. If they want windows, that will be a non-trivial task. If they are above ground, you'll probably need insulation. If below ground, gotta dig the hole and make sure it doesn't flood when it rains. Moving the containers into position after laying the foundation won't be trivial easier. At that point, you spent enough money you may as well build a real house. Or even just buy an RV/camper.

But if they're willing to live like hobos in a box don't know how to convince them anon.

>>1180062
Thanks anon, i just dont want my mom living in a shitbox death trap in the middle of nowhere hopefully bringing plumbing electricity snd foundations to their attention can make them change their minds

Cause they generally do shit work and need to be paid cash and disappear ASAP.

That's for your father and the boss to judge.

>Only thing I'm wondering is if I'd need planning permission from the council

4chan is not your personal local council receptionist

>>1179754
>Ignores the rest of the sentence where the actual request is

:?)

>>1179751
I don't know how it works in the colonies but here in the motherland you only need permission for additions over certain heights. You can replace a wall with a hedge or whatever if its the same height or add something new up to a certain height.
But surely there is an online planning portal you can look at? With all guidelines and stuff?
Sorry about your car man that sucks, few years ago I lived in a shit part of Edinburgh and kids (8-12) took turns running over peoples cars.
Police said just be glad they still run and weren't burnt out.
Maybe a pressure sensitive explosive under your suspension as a deterrent? Check your local laws this might not be legal outside of Baghdad

>Transistor

its a voltage regulator

you can find it on older (10+ years) equipment with a dc jack. newer equipment usually has a switching power supply

hey man i got pc psu and i got these transistors maybe i could use one of these? lt6210 sbl2040

>>1179652
>lt6210
that's an amplifier
>sbl2040
that's a bloody schottky diode

do you even try?

No, aluminum will probably melt.

>>1179628
Nah


You fine op. Aluminum melts at like 1200 or 1300 f. To melt you grill you would need a hot as fuck fire with quality charcoal and a hair dryier.

My propane grill is aluminum and its glorious.

Sucks a little cause it oxidizes and looks like shit, but it doesnt rust.

Fucker is cast aluminum. I dropped it and put a crack in it 10 years ago.

It will likely outlive us all.

Could you make one out of a keg?

Get it hot. It will oxidize in air. Depending on how hot you get it, you can produce a range of finishes from slightly dull to matte gray.

>>1179568
A mild bleach solution should work. If you want to do it the hard way, cum tarnishes brass, but it might take a while though. I'm thinking that both are basic solutions if that helps.

Anything that will etch the surface. Vinegar and lemon juice brought to a boil is fun.

go to tire shops and ask for used tires too worn to sell

After I learned how much of a health hazard they are due to heavy metals, I no longer have any on my property that isn't on a vehicle.

>how much I can DIY

It depends on where you live, your skill level, and tools/supplies you have access to. Where I live it doesn't matter, there are no building codes. However, if I want electric from a utility company, it has to conform to their standards from the pole to the meter. Which is nice for living in B.F.E.

>>1178963

Ahh, okay. Disregard skills & resources, simply wondering the legal angle. So I should call up somebody in the local town gov? Do you know which office? Planning & zoning?

Okay furthermore - what does being an architect really entail? Like shit.

Here's me: I want to design my building, and I want to build it. I know how I want it to look, I can figure out how to build it, and I can purchase relevant materials & tools. Is there any special sauce? Or am I overthinking this?

Let me SHOW you its features ( ಠ‿ಠ)

You could TRY placing a wet towel on the wounds and running a clothes iron over it, letting the steam and moisture seep into the dents and swell the compressed wood, but I have no guarantees your table will ever return to its former look.

>>1178256
Mom is going to kill you!

But seriously, I don't think steam is going to be the way to go... maybe an epoxy filler is the best fix, but it's still not going to be perfect.

Wood putty and match the finish you'll hardly notice if you sand carefully to like 300 400 grit.

>saws cut things
no fucking shit sherlock
i wouldn't be seen dead with one, not because of anything to do with the tool, just the association it carries, people might think i'm a fucking knobend too.

I find the cheap western backsaws entirely adequate for most applications. Never have seen the need to spend huge sums of money on extra double fancy british dovetail saws or nipponese steel folded to infinity.

I think these pull style saws are fashionable now as most people have never tried a truly sharp and set push saw, just the 100 yo shit ones they've pulled out of their attic.
Good lord can a sharp properly set push saw make some serious sawdust and you feel comfortable either doing fine or rough work.
I don't feel pull saws are ever suitable for rough work as the muscle just isn't there.

its metal flat bar

>>1177471

yeah

get some 1" x 1/16" x 48" aluminum flat bar (whatever the metric equivalent is)
some aluminum angle
4x nuts & bolts
use the angles & bolts at the ends to attach it to the long strip (x2 on each side so it doesnt twist)

use those cheap adhesive LED light strips off ebay

>>1177474
Although keep in mind the adhesive on those strips is usually trash and falls off immediately. Use some additional adhesive
