sounds like your chip failed, and there's no reasonable prospect of spontaneous revival unless you can get Jesus to lay his hand on it.

death: it's part of life for both man and silicone.

Well, my soldering iron arrives tomorrow. I guess I will rip and tear it off the board.

you're gonna fuck it up with the soldering iron. even experienced people have trouble with SMT components. fortunately, it's very easy to just cut the pins one by one: press down with an x-acto knife. you can leave the discarded pins behind, or scrape them away getly using the iron.

Also, don't shoot my dog when you raid my house pls.

Nice try

Aluminium foil > blender > ball mill.
0000 steel wool > bleach to make rust > water to rinse > sun to dry > blender > ball mill.

At least that's what the internet tells me.

Nothing that won't kill the grass underneath it.

I suppose you could mount growlights underneath a platform if you were really crazy.

maybe pallets, depending on what you can find

Is that you, Irish Stu?

>>1005918
No Irish Stu here. Just some guy that got his day wrecked by an asshole trying to steal his stuff.

>>1005916
Is that seriously your key?

Other thing I forgot to add is stepper motor requirement and sufficiently sized drivers.

Listen bro, I can't help you with this but I just want to share something I've learned through the years.

You're going for the holy grail right now. Don't. First build a platform that can be turned and skewed with a simple panel. Fine tune the shit out of that, it needs to be absolutely flawless. You'll need an Arduino, some motors and a little pit of engineering.

Once that is all done and is working like a champ, once that is done.. don't you fucking dare build a sensor that tracks the sun.. the sun follows the exact same path every damn day. So you're going to program a cronjob that turns the panels according to the time of the day.

In case of storms it's probably best to let it go back to it's default flat state.. which could simply be done by measuring the windspeed from a high pole nearby the panels.

Anyway, good luck.

You'd have a much easier life by programming it to move according to a timer.

Sensors introduce complication and a damaged sensor can screw over your entire array.
>bird shits over LDR
Another complication you'd encounter is cloud chasing. Your array would get disturbed by clouds since they'd change the values of your LDRs leading to basically your array moving constantly during the day, burning away the little electricity you have.
Now to solve such an issue you'd have to introduce mechanics for dealing with situations that arn't simply a clear sky and the sun. And a way of dealing with those mechanics I found was to simply limit the sensor array to move during specific times, but simply find an ideal position during those short frames. But hey, if you're already moving according to a timer, why not just ditch the liability of the sensors.

The most energy efficient way to do this is have pre-set points for the array (bonus points for scaling according to season) and have the array move in steps to those points.
No constant slow crawling motor.
Step A =single movement=> Step B => Step C etc.

We dont have the need to feel a phallic shaped object hundreds of times a day.
...not that there's anything wrong with that

Door handles are required on commercial buildings. Something something Cripples Act.

Knobs are just more aesthetic.

Probably pipe insulation, if you can find it in the right diameter.

>>998140
Best way to insulate an air duct is just wrap it with foam or other types of insulation, but tobehonest just wrap it with cardboard with some duct tape will help a lot since it is not a huge issue anyway

(they are used in starbucks coffee to hold a hot cup so they works)

What do with a cherry log that's 1m long and 20-30cm in diameter? Basicaly i need ideas. Google mostly gives me chairs and benches and i have no need for those. My tools are limited to chainsaw ( could be used to rip that bitch), el. plane,circular and jigsaw and a lot of hand tools. I guess i could have it planed somewhere nearby but i could go the hard route with a hand plane/scraper and a shitload of sanding. God i just love sanding. Don't you?

Get any ARC welder or Tig/Stick combo. It will do everything better and not explode.

>>994976
Said _GAS_ faggot. If you don't know shit about it, GTFO out my thread

>>994981
I do know about it. I have done gas, gtaw, smaw, gmaw, Flux core, etc etc welding of all kinds and gas sucks. It's good for one thing and that is cast iron and honestly tig/gtaw welding is better.

A stick and tig machine can do titanium, stainless, magnesium, aluminum, mild steels, white metals, brass, bronze, copper, etc etc.

Gas cannot do those thing. Gas is good for heating metal and cutting. It's a poor welding medium compared to any Arc welder.

Not sure what you're trying to do but all you need is a push button and a transistor

You mean build an LED circuit, or what OP?

I've installed camfil farr biological grade filter systems on morgues and biological labs in the past.

If you're talking that level of clean, then no. Not DIY able.

>>1008183
What about a Elctrostatic Precipitator then?

>>1008183
>installing an airfilter system not possible to /diy/

But restoring a old military bunker all by yourself. With included blast doors... Thats within the /diy/ realm.

Its hard to tell what these were used for without you tracing the wires. It might be that each of those outlets has its own fuse (protip, look into breakers).

>>1007597

The outlets are on the same line as previously mentioned. Wires are surface mounted on the wall

>>1007587
They are wire fuses, if you pull them out and look at the reverse side you will see two terminals with fuse wire across them, the wire thickness determines the value. You will have one for lights and the other for sockets, assuming UK that should be 6A and 13A respectfully. If you plan on using it as a workshop, would get it all replaced with a new consumer unit using rcbo's, cabling and sockets. Those old fuses are notorious for being slow to blow or having the wrong wire installed. You can find modern RCD drop in replacements for them, but they are expensive as fuck. Last time I looked you can get a 10 way CU complete with breakers / rcbo's for the same price.

also got this vague picture of the part numbers

>bearings
Err.. rotational bearings? Or the struts that support the wash drum?

>>1006034
Was this on the part in question?

>>1006041
The bearings that make the wash drum rotate.
The sticker was on the top of the barrel of the drum.

?Who are you quoting?

Anyways, got the kit today, will hopefully start it in a couple days time. Bump for the meantime

This is a direct order to keep me posted, because I have now developed an interest in this, which may develop into an investment.

Now go.
