I went to a tool show recently and tried everything from impact drivers to skill saws, jigsaws routers and I can't make up my mind as I want to replenish my cordless set as its ryobi. I'm thinking makita but I'm also swerving toward Milwaukee, what do you guys think?

rather than running a conduit under a road to connect a simple rj11 cord, I am hoping to wirelessly do it, but I cant quite find something that would work exactly

I was thinking of using a hobby drone telemetry transmitter and just going pin for pin or using an rs232 transmitter and going pin for pin though for both of these I'm not too sure whether it would even work

it seems like such a simple concept, yet I am having a real pain finding something designed specifically for it that isnt an "through the power outlet" style extender

pic related, an rs232 transmitter that would work perfectly if only it was built for rj11

as you can tell, I'm pretty lost when it comes to this, my intention is solely to transmit telephone line wirelessly, less than 50 feet

my knowledge is in plc's not this

rj11 is simply because I have no idea what to call the standard telephone protocol

I've just given an apartment to rent a house.
I want to have a Hank Hill-tier lawn, but it's currently half grass half weed.
If I dump pictures of the weeds, can /diy/ help identify them and their best removal method?
The lawn is in Australia.

A broad-spectrum broadleaf herbicide will kill almost anything with broad leafs (surprise) - you don't need to do much specialization. Won't touch crabgrass through, like in the first picture. That you need to get before it germinates, i.e. next year.

Meme answer is to just roundup the whole fucking thing, till it and resod/reseed. That's not necessarily a bad idea if it's really too far gone.

>>1007679

The frame will be wood, light weight like Balsa, but probably cedar for strength...

The skin is likely some kind of canvas fabric, again for it's light weight...

You will be cutting arcs for the frame, similar to boat/canoe building...

Google rc building ya lazy fucker...
>>
>>1007679

Many large scale RC planes of that size are nonstructural vacuform components over a balsa core structure, or foam with a heat-shrink covering.

Long ago, they were a built up balsa structure covered in tissue paper treated with nitrocellulose or butyrate doped finishes.

Some still are, but most use more modern materials.

I've determined that my welder is frequently shorting out and flipping the breaker when I use it. Should I make an attempt to have it rebuilt? And if not, is there anything else I can use it for? It is a very old model, and I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I don't want to be wasteful.

There has to be a shop that repairs electronics. Or go to a hardware store and ask if they have any idea it could be worth repairing. Good to see you don't want to be wasteful :) About half the time it isn't worth repairing though. Gl

repairing a lorch is worthwhile, their reputation is good. and old welders are less chinese than new welders.
what breaker are you using? you'd need at least 32A single phase or 10A 3 phase.

Mom has hit a rough spot again.
It seems the Alcoholism and Deflated Ego has come to a point.

I've consulted her since I was a young teen but it seems it's out of my hands at this point.

I know this isn't really /DIY/ material,
but how would YOU go about helping/treating YOUR Mother whilst knowing that you aren't putting her through unworthy programs or simply not letting her put herself out of misery?

I'm personally looking into a co-dependency program..
but how far should I take this?

I'm worried of making the call to put her into a pill testing box but I also can't let her KO on my watch.

sorry if this is the wrong forum,
just wanted to /diy/ (with help).

p.s. Live in Alaska / Add your Skype if you feel like lending word

Definitely doesn't belong in /diy/

R9k has a few guys in there looking to help.

YOU can talk to a counselor to see if they can help you help her if she doesn't want outside help.

It is obviously getting to a point where you feel you have to seek outside help through an american cordless tool shilling forum

>>1007949
Have a concrete trench with a little drain running along the house, but it just can't deal with the gutter and the garden, water just runs straight off the lawn

Goggle garden drainage.

Look for French drains.

If you can't do that, pay someone to do it for you.

So I'm probably retarded, but I cannot seem to wrap my head around how to program a toaster oven for reflow using PID on arduino. Anyone offer a quick run down?

Side note, the oven I'm using has the shitty resistive elements, so I don't think it heats up quickly enough for the reflow curves, should I just try to find a new oven or will it be fine?

>>1007656
have you actually seen this done before? Reflow oven temperature zones are static, so ramping a toaster oven doesn't really compare. You would need to invent your own oven curves since the ramp times wouldn't be similar at all.

If you are serious about doing it then thermocouple each board and use that for the feedback loop directly. You'll be able to tell when you hit thermal equilibrium to end your preheating zone. I don't know how critical the TAL is, since your oven probably wont be able to match how fast a reflow oven gets to it, but the cooling zone is very important so that your solder crystalizes correct.

You'll need something with SCR heating elements to get the control you want. I'd just pay an SMT shop to make whatever it is you are trying to make though.

shits all over the internet for hobby grade shit. And this is what I was talking about for reflow curve, although I'm sure temperature profile would be a more appropriate name. I was under the impression that there's one provided in the solder paste datasheet to inform what temperatures and times the paste needs.

And of course I have a thermocouple for feedback. How else would I know anything about whats going on inside?

The elements are basically hooked up to mains through a solid state relay which is pulsed by the arduino. What duty cycle for what stage is hard to say without a lot of other data, so that's why I wanted to use PID to adjust it on the fly to approximate the temperature profile.

I'll check out the thrift shops around town for a quartz halogen oven to gut and maybe throw some fiberglass insulation around the inside walls to improve performance.

How it's going one guys? I need a little help here, can you please tell me if I can ran this 3 phase motor as a single fase one? Thanks.

The short answer is no.

The engineering department at your local university could do it, but it's not worth the effort to look into.
>>
>>1007406
Thanks for the input. I saw a few youtube videos of people doing it but they had a different setup than this one. Care to explain why would I need a team of engineers to do it?

I got this motor for free and I'm willing to put the time it takes to make it work though.
>>
>>1007403
Sure you can.
The cheap and nasty way is to use a capacitor between two phases to simulate phase shift.
The proper way is to purchase a VFD
