Want to know everything there is to know about this subject. the does and don't, perhaps some good tutorial etc. I gladly accept all helpfull knowledge.

Need to place a lot of new wiring in this old house but I'm a poorfag.
I would say I'm intermediate when it comes to experience. But of course I want to do it securely and safe. Luckily I have a lot of patience to learn and never do anything diy until I know everything there is to know about it.
And before someone points it out, no I'm unable to take a course on it sense work keeps me occupied at the moment

Look at the code in your area. That is the minimum level of safety you need to build to. Done. You want to put in some fancy stuff or nice features? Thats a different story. For safety though, the code is a a great place to start.

That's Moonman, the leader of the Triple K Mafia, but he sometimes goes by the alias of Mac Tonight according to my top secret contacts in various 3 letter agencies. You might have better luck finding a design using one of those names. Your best bet would probably be making it out of foam board, or some resin re-enforced paper. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a moon mask papercraft that could be modified, so you would probably need to find either a face mask to modify, or start from scratch. After figuring that out, you could get some novelty giant glasses at a costume store for the finishing touch.

This fits into many categories but /diy/ is the best place for advice and tips. My friends and I are trying to start a show/ colony preferably better than the current ones available. I doubt any crowed funding site will allow us. But never the less I'm hear for advice, tips and hints.

Also please add survival, homesteading and helpful /diy/ info graps or project ideas.

Well we are hoping to start with basic tools, some firearms, food for about 3-6 months and a boat to travel to neighboring port for trading. The main problem is the funding and support from volunteers. We're hoping to get about a hundred. .

Probably wrong board for this, but oh well.

So I made the mistake if buying an eBay micro SD cart, and of course as soon as I bought it, the listing it gone etc etc. Anyway, it's labeled as 64gb, it reads as 64gb, but try and write more than 2gb and it will come up with an error and everything corrupts, and refuses to read anything without a reformatting.

Is there anyway to tell the disk to display the correct capacity of the SD cart, or is this one destined to become landfill?

Its landfill
The onboard chip has been programmed to report 64gb to all inquiries while lacking the physical space. As soon as you run out of physical room the chipset shits itself.

Report the seller for fraud to ebay and paypal in your control panel's purchase history.

Keep it in case they demand you send it back for your refund.

I know its too late now, but never buy memory cards from third parties. Only established online retailers or brick and mortar stores. If you're buying on a site like Amazon, verify that it is "sold by and shipped by Amazon. And if you're feeling particularly adventurous, by it from ebay, but NEVER EVER from China.

Yeah, throw it.

You want a Mixza instead, /g/ tested and approved.

>Report the seller for fraud to ebay and paypal in your control panel's purchase history.

This.

You will get your money back in full including any shipping. The amount of effort into trying to correct the issue isn't worth the headache for a 2gb card.

Why the fuck did you despoil this nice woodworking bench with a bench grinder and metalworking vise? That stuff needs to go on a separate bench. Especially the bench grinder, since on top of covering everything in dust - which you just might not give a fuck about - it blocks the end vise.

Well /diy, I finally did it. I bought a limo. Had a million fun diy ifeas for it and my wife asked me to go the other way with it. As in, make it "nice."

Well fuck. Kind of a bumber, but she did let me buy a limo. And fortunately I am friends with a few proffessional painters. Their works have been featured in Truckin' magazine and others.

So now I'm stuck. I can essentially have ANY paint job I want and have no idea what to go with. I'm striping and redoeing the interior so it will match whatever I descide to do. It will be a show car but also a somewhat daily driver.

Contemplating 13" wire wheels and hydraulics. And I'm putting to 2500 watt Kicker amps in the trunk with 4 18" Solo Barics.

Any ideas on paint?

No el-illuminate or glow-in-the-dark pls.

break up that long loading board and use strong hinges to acordian the setup into a large ass tailgate. Have metal extentions that are going a couple inches beyond each of the sections to give it strength and stability when under load.
Sliding that onto/off of your truck will require you do move the snowmobile on/off of it at the same time. Unfolding and refolding that tail gate will be much easier.

I'm trying to build a moving sculpture, pic related. I want the eye (red LED preferably) to move in a lifelike, oscillating motion. A pre-built, battery powered set up is preferred, but at this point I'll take anything, because oscillating leds/ led sockets seem to not exist. Nothing too bright, like a police signal, either.

Anybody know where I could find this?

Judging from that gif the light seems to be stationary while the skull moves around.
Pedantics aside, if all you're looking for is a pulsating led, the circuitry wouldn't be that difficult. I would look into some adafruit stuff perhaps
>>
>>1076647
You know, at this point I've considered just making the body oscillate around the light. Trying to do as little wiring as possible but if I have to then fine. I've also noticed that "oscillating" is a very poor search term for electronic components.
>>
>>1076642

What I would try :

Get a glass eye pendant, put some EL wire or LED strip around it to make it glow, stick it on a balsa wood stick painted black (wires going to it too).

If you make the body move the glass will move slightly too. Otherwise you can have an electric motor drive the bottom end of the stick to make it oscillate.

PS. starting a bit too late for Halloween.

How would I build a raised garden bed that looks EXACTLY like this? The outside is obvious, I'm just having trouble figuring out how exactly the soil is held inside and the inside structure that's holding everything together. I've reverse image searched the picture with no luck. I've never built one before, so I don't have any previous building experience to reference.

>>1076476
I dont understand your question.

The inside should just be a regular box with the fancy paneling on the outside.
>>
But how is it black through the cracks? Is the inner structure just a frame with landscaping fabric attached and soil dumped into the fabric liner. It wouldn't look as nice with just a basic box with the framing on it if there wasn't the open spaces in the frame...
>>
>>1076539
It's a box with some planks attached.

I need help and advice /diy/

I´m looking for hinges that do the motion of the cubes in the picture.
Where can I find good hinges online that offer international shipping.
The hinge in the picture is one of the best I have found but it´s a little bit to slim (It´s 12.7mm but the cube is 19mm thick).

I´m hoping someone knows a place like that.
I am aware that Ebay, Amazon and almost every fucking place on this entire planet ships internationally.

And also I found hinges like these in the picture (Ignore the quality) in a store near me.
Does anyone know what they are called.

Those are called hinges, I can tell from the quality of the picture and having seen a lot of hinges in my day

What tool do you use to shape inside the wood?
I guess you cant do it with normal bandsaw

Laser cutter if your rich,

A jeweler's saw would also work, depending on availability in your area. Brownell's has them, as does Track of the Wolf. Not sure about blades for a luthiers bow saw, but there's a good selection of them for jeweler's saws, though you'd be interested in the coarsest.

I had no idea this stuff was so advanced. quartus combined with opencores.org for hard IP and their full trace design, sim file support is great.

Im downloading it now because I want to make a large pin array circuit analyser on an old first gen 8bit car ECU to study the I/O with a cyclone 2/4. think this is doable or should i use a different chip?

what are the most popular EDA software suits in the industry?

also what are 0.05" pin rows called? i cant seem to find them on ebay.

Huh, rare to see fpga shit on /diy/ or 4chan in general.
Uhhh. Hmm. Yeah my first step would be to check if the cyclone has enough GPIO. I haven't worked with the 2 but I know the 4 can have like at least a hundred GPIO pins.

Eagle is pretty popular.

Might want to try an evaluation board before you build a whole PCB, I think a Cyclone IV/V runs about 90 to 100 dollars at the moment.

Hey fellas, I've been thinking about making a coffee table for myself. I want to make it out of concrete, with some sort of wood in there. In my head it looks similar to pic related, but with wood in the middle instead of glass. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated, or just a general coffee table thread

put coffee on a table

put concrete into coffee

drill a hole for the wood

use concrete to get the wood

then use the drill to make the legs

the table to make a glass

you can cover the concrete with table and the wood can be coffee
