most tension. They really should reinforce that area. Also, get looser-fitting pants. A lot of guys I know get pants that JUST fit.

>most tension
That makes sense, thank you.
>A lot of guys I know get pants that JUST fit.
Usually we get pants that fit, then become fatter, and then they just fit.
Or we actually get pants that fit, decide it's a good fit, and that's it. I've gone to taking at least 1-2 sizes bigger, for even though they state it does not shrink with washing, it does not necessarily bear true (even if you only wash it according to instructions), which then results in pants that just fit. And most people nowadays (girls included) don't know how to wash their stuff correctly, at least not the young ones.

Either way I might just have to save up for a sewing machine, for I see many benefits of knowing how to make clothing. That Singer 6805C be expensive tho. 450€...
>>
>>2892096
You don't think you can get by with a simpler Singer Heavy Duty?
To be fair I have only done simple repairs on an Elna Grasshopper because my father collects them and I managed to fix holes and slimmed down jeans and made little things with them. Tho a zigzag stitch would have been great to have, it's amazing what a little 70 year old indestructible machine can do.
>>
>>2892113
Some of the fabric I'm looking at is quite heavy (450-510 g/qm, hemp-twill, canvas kinda stuff). If I'm gonna get into it, I want to be able to make stuff that lasts. Probably not only pants.

And it has a custom alphabet/number embroidery stitches. Now, I'm not sure about this, but if it is electrical computerized hardware, there must be some way of loading your own embroidery patterns (some hacking may be required).

And who doesn't want a shirt with their custom logo/embroidery/pattern?
>>
>>2892132
>Now, I'm not sure about this, but if it is electrical computerized hardware, there must be some way of loading your own embroidery patterns (some hacking may be required).
Not necessarily. The machine still requires the correct cam range to actually move in the direction that you want. It may have preset cams specifically for each number/letter movement but no free motion (which is why actual free range embroidery machines cost thousands.)

Good luck, anon. (I waited 900s to post this.)

there's literally nothing wrong with this construction and all the fastening hardware looks up to the task. you people really overestimate how strong wood and screws can be.
if it were me I'd probably overbuild it with metal brackets and more bolts particularly at the joint between the middle column and the overhead 2xs, but this will probably work fine for years.

I'm actually going to make a combination squat rack/pull up bar to keep outside once it's spring again, now that I'm at the level where failure during a squat is actually a possibility every other workout.

I swear, in the weeks since the LA fires I've seen nonstop online talk about American "cardboard" and "matchstick" homes. 95% of it is from people who have never built a chicken coop in their life, let alone a house.

You have to take into account local climate, materials, labor, house size, income, extreme weather, and factors like path dependency.
For example, I've seen Euros go on about how their 70 year old solid concrete home is "so insulated and warm". Unless that building has external insulation applied, that's down to climate differences and the fact that you likely have neighbors directly on either side of you, as only 30% of Europeans live in detached houses.

IDK what the point of this rant is, as it's probably a good thing if people start demanding more durable housing. Perhaps I'm just tired of being told that we all live in paper mache sheds by people living in a 50 m^2 apartment who haven't even set foot in North America.
>>
>>2892116
Compare places with similar climate then
>>
>>2891705
They want big houses but don't want to pay for it. So they use toothpicks and pressed wood chips.
I saw some rich retired boomer buy a plot next to mine and put an ICF house, complete with basement and everything, that thing is a house shaped bunker, even the roof is made of concrete, the walls are thick and solid and insulated from both sides, really nice stuff.
>>
>>2892116

This is just an idea, but euros didnt have the kind of mortgage for their 1700s timberframe that modern housing requires. There so much money to be had in construction/home loans that maybe the ones actually executing new construction are looking for whatever passes as a house. In order to build a lasting monument that will hold for 100+ years I imagine it will end up being a personal loss at the end.

I bought a broken Karcher K2 Power Control on an online auction for a few $, just to check if it's just an air bubble triggering a cutoff, which I heard was very common and after running water through it turned off for a few minutes it indeed started working normally. Then of course I had to go full retard and forgot to turn it off and left it on idle for an hours or so and when I came back, it was dead again. How sensitive are pressure washers for this kind of thing? Did I break the pump?

How can I find info about this component? Simple google search didn't yield results...

Okay so I forgot about submitting this comment, and did some more searching, I don't even have everything noted what I found, most recent was

>APX809S/810S
and in the data sheet I found matching ID code of "RV"
>APX810S05-29SA-7
and the -29SA fix means 2.9v which would make sense as a cutoff voltage (assuming) for 3.7v lithium battery for disposable vapes.
>https://www(DOT)mouser.com/ProductDetail/Diodes-Incorporated/APX810S05-29SA-7

But the Identification markings don't really match up, but it's close.

Those are just a pair of switches on cams. If you were wanting to put 50V though them I can see the point of asking such a question, but you’re not. They’d probably work over 24V and they’d definitely work down to below 0.1V.

So A: people use those all the time with ESP32s and Raspberry Pis and other 3.3V devices.
B: there is no conceivable mechanism for why a mechanical switch would fail to operate on very low voltages and currents, at least until you get down to the level of thermal voltages.

If you understand the mechanisms behind the components you are using, then you will better be able to use those components in ways other than what is explicitly written.

>>2892108
If it’s a Chinese knockoff chip, it could well have different markings despite being identical in other ways. I’d browse LCSC to see if other companies have made knockoffs of that chip, and check their datasheet to see if the markings and logo match. The prefix may differ (e.g. GD32F103 instead of STM32F103). But the Chinese do make a lot of unique lithium ion ICs, and also LCSC’s site search is pretty bad.

From circuit context, what is the IC doing? Is it acting as a voltage regulator or reference? Or a comparator to tell the thing to shut off once it’s low on charge?
>>
>>2892109
well on the other side of the USB-c Is another capacitor (my multimeter cant test capacitance) then V+ and V- to the battery. The pic now doesn't have any additional components besides whats pictured.

when I was on https://smd.yooneed.one/ I checked for R, RV, V, 0, 02, 2, 2A and if I found SOT-23 I would look at the info and usually came back being using with 20V+ applications it seemed.

I am not sure on what its doing IC wise, this is something I found with other random electronic stuff. I am new to this kind of stuff and usually lose motivation if I can't make progress.

After some continuity it seems 5k resistors are connected to A5, B5 (CC1, CC2) on usb-c and the other end is connected to ground.

Does anyone know something like a cheap modbus remote I/O module with transistors instead of relays?

I have a raspberry pi and want to control 2-5 stepper drivers (2x 5V input each). The GPIO on the Pi is 3.3V and the drivers need 5V. I could use a level shifter but I’d much rather use either ethernet or RS485/USB so that I can change either the Pi (to a pc or plc) or the gpio module later on. Everything I see uses relays but I don’t think they’re the right option for ~200 pulses per second

Tinkering with multiple video feeds sucks ass - without having any experience with your specific use case I'd default to OBS (the program). Issue is that two camera feeds, especially if they are decent resolution (which I assume you want because otherwise you'll see absolute jack shit on the scope) might be too much for a pi, especially one that's so old. Maybe some other anon has some good advice, but if I were you I'd just use obs on a laptop or something.

Anyone know of a brand of servos that are somewhat quiet?
The one I'm using now is so loud that I've gimped the pid loop just so it moves slow enough that it is inaudible. The moment the dog hears that fast moving servo gear noise she freaks out and hides under the desk in another room.
I've considered switching to a stepper and an encoder but that seems like a lot of work.
>>
>>2892066
Servos with integrated driver? If not, what sort of driver are you using? FOC with a high PWM frequency is going to be the quietest, sinusoidal driving at high frequency is probably fine too. Low frequency PWM or trapezoidal driving is going to be noisy, in the same way that driving a stepper with insufficient microstepping is going to be noisy.

I have a copper 1/2 pipe with a temporary sharkbite fitting. I don't have the tool to remove it nor can I get my wrench on the pipe or behiind it on the plastic part to pinch and pull it by force. Do I absolutely need to pinch the plastic part of the sharkbite fitting to be able to pull it off, or can I just put a wrench or pliers around by the cap? I'm trying to avoid destroying a metal cover or cutting into drywall just to pinch the plastic to pull it off. Is it possible to remove these without having to pinch the tiny plastic part circled in the image?

Plumbing is about the only DIY category that doesn't have its own general here for some reason. Figured I could maybe get the ball rolling with a question and a provide a thread where people to ask their own since I feel bad for killing a thread for just one question.

Easier and simpler? Probably not. Clamping it down directly risks rupturing the pipe, and otherwise you'd use sharkbites for the blue pipe also. Or pex fittings, but then you need to crimp that, which is not easier.
