Sorry for only informing you now. I kind of give up fixing the code. At least the hot air station is now working normally. I need to remove the internal reed switch and solder the two cables directly. Technically, when the reed switch gets contact with the magnet, I can set the temp and airflow...

I will inform you later

that's for arduino IDE libraries, the other one is for custom font. I'm confident enough. I'm using jumper cables for easy disassembly if there is any troubles. for AC and DC power using KF301 terminal blocks I did fix this reed switch issue, correcting the HIGH/LOW on the sleep switch and...

For the last couple of months I've been making a hot air station based on a OneWire YouTube video. I made my own PCB and simplified the construction. But one thing holding me back is that the Arduino code has errors/bugs. I did fix some sleep/reed switch issue; now the screen is flickering...

Many of us are still using a 3rd generation Intel CPU or even the LGA 775, combined with the GTX 1060 or Radeon RX 550, and probably will never upgrade it. 500-550W PSU is twice as expensive here. So yeah, the market is now flooded with rebranded Chinese PSUs with questionable reliability and...

I just noticed that many brands like Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA and be quiet! At least in the Indonesian PC market, don't make 400W PSUs anymore. Is it because the parts are more power-hungry nowadays? Or is it not even worth it to manufacture them in 2024?

Sorry for replying now. I just finished my DIY solder station. I did it just like you said. You were right, there is no polarity on the heating element. Also, about the sensor, it's working perfectly fine. Thank you very much.

Take the example of the Hakko A1321 heating element, which has two red pins and two blue pins. What I know is that red pins are for heaters, and blue pins are for thermal sensors. and both red and blue have one short pin and one long pin. What I don't know is their polarity. Is it the same as...

I won't, maybe I will convert it to a variable bench power supply in the future, thank you.

Thank you for the insight, sir.

Nope, this one is an old 2006 380W PSU that rest in my storage for years from my first computer

If my PSU smokes and the identified problem is a blown capacitor, replace it and it will function normally. Should I use it for just a short time until I buy a new PSU, or should I use it normally like nothing ever happened?

Well, I also have this kind of connector on my rtx 2080 FE cooling fan I just bought from AliExpress, manufactured by AVC. The original apple fan is made by them also have this connector

https://www.amazon.in/Laprite-A1286-Cooling-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B07QPJXRRN Do you guys know what the name or type of this connector is? (See the last picture of the Amazon link.) Thank you.

about February 6th, 2024, arrived at march 5th 2024. at the price of 6.5$ thank you for the suggestion, I already scan the QR code but it just a serial number, I will update after experimenting it.
