How did I not know iFixit was on Mastodon? If you're unfamiliar, iFixit is a company that advocates for Right to Repair and the sale of repairable products. They offer free repair manuals and other information for countless devices, and they sell quality tools and parts to assist in making those repairs and avoiding bad tech. Great outfit, and a font of useful information. Be sure to follow.

ps2 that finally arrived the other day just stopped working today T_T
the seller is all the way in Japan, so idk how this is gonna work out
if anyone in tucson knows how to repair consoles hmu lol
Special shoutout to the repair site iFixit who are now on the Fediverse, you can follow them at:
They provide repair forums and free repair guides for phones, computers, consoles, kitchen equipment, tools, medical devices, cars etc. They also review and tear down new gadgets to see how repairable they are.
Repairing your existing stuff is much, much better for the environment than buying replacements.
Lovely Sunday.. this triptych of images is what I've been up too... some work on a scrappy Dahon Expresso project I picked up, some tinkering adding a neo6 gps to the #xiao #meshtastic setup interspersed with reading this fun book. #electronics #bookstodon #biketooter

We. Love. Modular. Ports.
Did you know that MacBooks have modular USB-C ports? All that Thunderbolt speed goes straight through a small press connector. Impressive!
Better yet, if you break a port, your expensive logic board's safe and sound.
Why doesn't every laptop do this?!

This is the Sharp PC-2000, or “Ratecaputer,” from 1979. Only 200 were ever made.
The name is a portmanteau:
Ra for radio
Te for television
Ca for cassette
Puter for computer

Can anyone on fedi give me some advice about building an extremely minimalist DJ mixer?
I need some advice as I'm super new to #electronics
Despite my reputation in some circles I'm not one who usually opens up #electronics but today I just fixed about six years of #joycon #drift in four of our six controllers.
This essentially gives our release day #switch a new life.
Aren't there extension cables for these solar panel connectors? I only find "MC4" cables, which seem to be only the connector on the receiving end but not the panell side. I need an extension for the panel side though. as 2 of the 4 panels are further away.
Do those extension cables even exist, or isn't this meant to be due to some frequency issues? Should I instead get another one of those cables with 4 connectors put them in a row if possible? (Seems to be possible?)

Finally watched some tutorials and got myself off the ground with Nomad Sculpt! Which is funny, since my first project is a flightless kiwi. :3

So today is not going entirely to plan.
The set of additional #solarpanels I connected up refuse to give us juice. I tried to trace the fault and got jack shit info because my cheap ass 19 year old #multimeter is (confirmed by many tests now) not working any more. Its fuse is fine too, as is its #battery. It just displays zeros.
So add to the list of unexpected expenses and delays one new multimeter...
#mutualaid is our lifeline to #selfsufficiency so we can help others. Can you help us out with our expenses for...?
Multimeter: $7-8 at Harbor Freight
Crimp connectors: $?
Tyres: ~$1200 (Vulpibus)
Refilling fuel: ~$100
Refilling my overdraft: ~$500
Refilling my other overdraft: ~$250

MakerTubeJan BetaHi I'm Jan. I tinker with electronics and enjoy vintage tech, mostly computers and consoles from the 80s and 90s. I also love to tinker with elderly hifi equipment and musical instruments from time...
Glued and soldered everything together. Now it feels like a real device! I'm super happy! Thanks again to everyone who has helped me to get this far! <3
The CO2 Canary is open hardware, you can find all source files here:

I'm planning to write detailed instructions on how to order the required parts, so that you can get one yourself!

Probably a weird question.
This type of screwdriver seems pretty popular. Does anyone know how to swap the batteries for the tip lighting?
I couldn't find a data sheet or manual.
TIA!

Yep, my mistake: I didn't number the pins of the chip correctly! SDA and SCL are pins 8 + 7, not 5 and 6! Not sure how I got that wrong, but it teaches me to double-check next time!
Luckily, the fuel gauge is the one component that's a bit optional – just nice to have!
Resoldering it on the board seems difficult, as it's so tiny! How would you approach that? I mean, I could try to cut the wrong traces, and solder teeny tiny wires to the chip? #electronics

SparkFun were great at keeping all of the product details for their retired products on their website. But that's all gone with the redesign.
If you've got some old SparkFun kit, you're going to be relying on the Internet Archive a lot now.
alright, its finished!

I've already broken it since, and need to repair it, but i'll be sure to post a video of it in action in the future!
but i declare this fume extractor FINISHED
