Heres a picture of the two wires, theyre both in the bottom right corner. Also, I do have soldering stuff but I dont really know how to use it and I feel like spraying hot glue everywhere is more fun

Heres another pic of the circuit. The two white wires were removed also but theyre just for the speaker so we didnt bother with them.

I suspect your two wires are vcc and gnd. Finding a place to connect them should be trivial. Learn how to use your iron, its not that hard.

Video is kinda outdated since the B+ but still, my point is, you can learn a lot about the Raspberry Pi and really anything else on youtube. Youtube is great for this sort of thing, search around on there.

Also check this out right now,

Thanks, I'm checking this out !

I've already bought this bundle, that's what made me curious about all of this and made me visit this board ! I haven't read all of these magazines yet though but I feel that I need the very basics before continuing reading them. (and your video seems to be able to help me)

>>915621
Honestly, I would say the RPi is more /g/ than /diy/. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of cool embedded projects you could do with it, but you have to understand that it's an actual computer and not just a microprocessor, and is therefore more suited towards such high-level tasks (for instance, hosting your own web server or doing graphical processing).
>>915626
That's not even a B+, that's a B.

>The only part I really don't understand is the ESCs
So you're comfortable setting up and tuning a flight controller like a Naze32? That's really more important than reflashing ESCs. It's not too finnicky with Cleanflight Configurator or similar, but there are a lot of steps and it's an important and surprisingly time-consuming setup.

The ESCs you chose already have SimonK firmware, so they should work great without programming/reflashing (even those that don't have multirotor firmware still work, but SimonK or BLheli improve response considerably and let you crank up the gains more). Brushless ESCs and motors can be reversed by simply swapping motor leads, make sure to check all the directions and response before you put the propellers on.

I'd also avoid the raceband transmitters, ImmersionRC/Fatshark keeps introducing proprietary shit to try and box competitors out of the market and force customers to buy new shit, and the raceband is just another example of that.

>>915649
I am not rewriting this shit on another thread, fuck off. I will however search next time before posting.

>>915665
Oh yeah I comfortable with the Naze32, not really any other flight controller. My quadcopter has a naze32 and while I use Baseflight instead of Cleanflight, its all the same really. I don't know every command you can possibly run in Baseflight, but I know enough to setup a Quad/Tri-copter.

I knew those ESCs had SimonK cause of a thread I found but what I am confused on is do I need Brushless ESCs for Brushless Motors? I found some Brushless ESCs and they are really expensive, what are they used for?

Also I didn't realize my A/V transmitter was a raceband or even realize what that is but I'll fix it and get something else. I have the Fatshark Attitude V2 for a headset.

>>915363
as an after thought /r/ would be another good place to post a link to this too

Jesus fuck, OP. Learn to punctuate.

>>915367
ya grammar and punctuation are not my strong suit

You basically have two options:
Rent a real snake machine or call a plumber

>>915245
is there a possibility that the clog is actually the stopper that broke loose and got caught somewhere down the line? I'm moving out in 3 days so the worst that happens is I don't get my deposit back, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to bail the tub into the sink if I want to shower again before then.

>>915228
Just went through a drain fix myself. Should've just called a plumber, since the cost was barely more than what I spent on tooling.

If you insist on doing it yourself, then get your ass down to a home center like Lowes or Home Depot. Buy the longest snake they have and get one with the diamond shaped head on it. Run it down about a foot and spin it around. Keep repeating that until the drain opens up.

For my house, I had a 50-ft snake with one of those shitty spring coils on the end. Goddamned clog was over 60 feet from where the plumber accessed the line (which was about 10 feet closer than where I accessed it), so I was well over 20 feet short of the actual blockage. As I said, it would've been better to just call the guy first.

Stop buying tools at Wal-Mart. That's step number 1. I'm not a herp-derp Anti-Wal-Mart guy, but I'm not going to buy tools from their bullshit Home Repair section.

>>915015
Both I'd imagine.

Looks like a patch antenna. If the metal plate there is the driven element and the PCB is the ground plane, then it's A. If it's the other way around, then B. If I had to guess I'd say B (for the lack of an apparent feed point connecting the coax to the plate), but I'd need to see the other side - ideally in clear enough detail to see traces on the PCB - to say for sure.

At the top of the stairs I would attach them to the walls. As you go down I would use those nice 4x4s as an attachment point. I would only put one in the floor at the bottom. Like pic related. Only at the very end. I'd probably only use a single pipe, not a double like my pic.

>>914298
Where do I buy this stuff? How does it attach to the bottom stairs, screws?

I appreciate the help, I'm a total noob just trying to fix up my first house.

what kind of Gameboy is it? Classic? Light? Pocket? Is it the one in the Picture?
If yes why does it have plastic foil on it?

Potential customz:
>Backlighting
>Sound Outlet
>Get some kind of GB Everdrive to have all the games on your gb
>repainting it
>new rad buttons

that is all i come up with itm, google can probably help you alot as usual

>>913926
It's a GBC

There's a way to modify the cartridge?

>>912820
throw into WC

If dubs put one in pooper

>>912820
make a marble rifle

what, do you take them off weekly to vacuum?

just do 2 dabs of silicone and call it a day

>>916550
Get some 3m hook and loop or hook and hook system or whatever and stick it on.

>>916555
They've got a bit of sealant at the bottom, the issue is that the crappy clasps leave half of them resting at 70 degree angles as they're poorly supported.

>>916558
Velcro? You know how plinths work, right? One large rigid body, lots of small plinths it has to grab onto. There's also a fair bit of distance between where the plinth is and where the board is.

>>915897
There's a weapons ban in DIY right?

Not if you call them paperweights

Autocorrected from "loctite"

>>915030
Wow
Autocorrect algorithms ought to have a filter for the frequency of corrected characters. Correcting 5 characters of a 7 character word is pretty fucking ridiculous.

the roof is leaking
unless the roof gets replaced walk away
dont fall for the retards telling you its a good idea to buy a shithole to fix because they watched a tv show

well shit, I like the house otherwise. but I already own a lemon of a house and I don't want to do it again.

this is a better picture, still looks like water damage to you?

Youll have to cut all of that away, and then replace the wood, which shouldnt be terribly hard. But Id go into the crawl space to look at the extent of the Rot

Do you know the terminology for this piece?

I'm trying to look for examples online of the replacement.

Well this smacks of shill thread..

Well pulsed arc tig is superior in every way. Except for cost.

>>914250
Tig. But I only ever got to use tig a handful of times.. Migs good too. Theres some drawbacks like really tight corners. But maybe theres a nozzle that can direct the gas a bit better so you can have your wire fed further out.

But I don't normally plan to work with mild steels and such. DOM. Stainless. cmoly. And aluminums. Im really into gokarts. One day when I got like a grand or two to drop on a setup I just might. But thats in the very far future/another life kinda deal right now.
